Qualitative Research & Evaluation Methods Integrating Theory and Practice

• Michael Quinn Patton - Utilization-Focused Evaluation, Saint Paul, MN

“It is refreshing to see a text that engages the multiple philosophical and historical trajectories within a qualitative research tradition while integrating this discussion so well with the practice of research design, fieldwork strategies, and data analysis.”

  “The content itself, based in years of thinking, reading, doing, conversing, is a huge strength. Reading the chapters is like sitting at the feet of one of the masters.”  

"Very thoughtful and thorough coverage of qualitative design and study."

“I can’t emphasize enough the quality, detail, and depth of the presentation of research design and methods… Students and experienced researchers will appreciate the depth of presentation of potential qualitative paradigms, theoretical orientations and frameworks as well as special methodological applications that are often not covered in other qualitative texts.”

I have used Patton for this course historically; I will continue to use him for this course. I have used previous editions as well.

Qualitative evaluation and research methods

Qualitative research methods are increasingly gaining importance among researchers who want to conduct an in-depth study of a phenomena. Qualitative research stands in contrast with quantitative methods as it is not concerned with numbers, frequencies or generalization rather with people, their experiences and see them as unique case. The inquiry done through this method is exploratory, explanatory and more humane, which takes into consideration all the aspects and looks at a situation in totality. The aim is to study each case as a whole, and generalization is not the ultimate goal but understanding a person, his life, experiences and his perspectives. This paper is an overview of qualitative research methods, its evolution, features, characteristics and various axioms of Naturalistic Inquiry. It also touches upon the themes and variations present in qualitative research. Thus, it gives a brief glimpse into theory and concept of qualitative research methods.

Crafting a research design is a daunting task no matter what research method the researcher chooses to work with. Qualitative research study stands as one of the most rigorous and demanding—yet rewarding—research paradigms when the researchers have a narrative, a story to portray in the literature-specific both for their readers and the scientific community. With the intent to describe not only their own personal journey, but also that of those who help unravel previously unexplained phenomena, qualitative researchers undertake a central theme and refer to the lived experiences of their study participants, starting from the data collection stage to analysis and interpretation of their findings. They ask the very fundamental question words (i.e., how, why, and what) with which the study builds up to a rather more profound level. With certain philosophical underpinnings, dimensions, and approaches, qualitative researchers find themselves engaged in a plethora of words, texts, and images (Creswell, 2007). Researchers’ ontological and epistemological positioning additionally informs their choices of methods and methodology, the latter which is a theoretical perspective acting as a bridge between the two (Creswell, 2007). Regarding this and other characteristics, it is also important to note that an impeccable qualitative study design cannot be achieved without researchers’ investing a long time and finances, the resources without which a seamless research study would not be produced. With the purpose of discussing such and several more distinctive characteristics, metaphors, various research paradigms, and considerations throughout, the purpose of this paper is to shed light to what a qualitative research study essentially is, how researchers deal with it throughout the research process, when it is appropriate to conduct one and when not, its advantages, disadvantages, and others. Each component that goes into the design of qualitative research study will be handled under close lens.
