Now we have talked about Qualitative Research throughout the semester, but not at any great length. Keep in mind Qualitative research is no less scientific than Quantitative research.
Some research problems require different methods of inquiry.
We use what ever methods are most appropriate. The advantages and disadvantages were also discussed, along with the part that sources of error play. Skill of the interviewer is critical. The important point of the interview in qualitative research is to get the participants point of view and how they interpret or explain their behavior. In qualitative research, it's the participant observer that really distinguishes the mode of inquiry.
