Research Methodologies: Narrative research, Phenomenology, Grounded Theory, Ethnography, Case Study

Narrative research, phenomenology, grounded theory, ethnography, and case study research. I briefly define each methodology and discuss some basic methods and challenges. This is by no means a comprehensive guide, but I do hope that this will get you started and maybe raise an interest in one of these methodologies

[@user-hq6yr6hn6j]

I've been chasing my tail for weeks trying to understand qualitative research. Thanks to you and your video, I think I've grasped it.

[@qualitativeresearcher]

Glad it was helpful!

[@user-tl4fl4gi8m]

Thank you, Dr. Kriukow, for sharing and simplifying a complex ecosystem. Qualitative research and the various methodologies related to it can seem daunting, but after watching your video, I believe I understand it better.

[@qualitativeresearcher]

Many thanks! glad that you feel that my content is helping ! :)

[@vanbrown1000]

The content of all the videos I have watched was very insightful. I'm here and not going anywhere. I need a more detailed video on the phenomenological approach, please. Thank you.

[@qualitativeresearcher]

Glad it was helpful, and I will keep this suggestion in mind

[@ransfordmensah-sarbah8737]

Clear and concise,thank you.

[@panchanimendis1220]

Amaizing ! and thank you for explaining all 5 methodologies in one pocket

[@panchanimendis1220]

but still want to be clear about which methodology I should employ for my research. I interview 30 crafts producers to understand their current situations. so does it comes under ethnography? feel like it is also can be taken as 30 case studies. which one is the correct one

[@dimitria9626]

Phenomenal video!! Thank you for the breakdown.

great videos, thank you for explaining.

[@qualitativeresearcher]

What else would you like to know about the methodologies I described?

[@peonyamarilla3681]

Thank you so much. Very informative. But i have question, If i am conducting about knowing the cultures of a particular tribe only through interview and not through the observation in their particular natural setting what could be this study all about? Can i consider this as a 'Case study?

[@qualitativeresearcher]

@@peonyamarilla3681 Depends on the whole research context and your role in it. If you are conducting it in "traditional" settings, arranging to interview your participants for example at the university or a cafe, this does sound more like a case study, as for ethnography you would be expected to accompany the participants in their daily lives a bit more

[@OpenGateSchool]

This was brilliant! Thank you so much for putting this out there. I’m still stuck on something though. I’ve read several ethnographic monographs and have recently been getting into papers on Education using narrative inquiry. They just seem so similar to me. I’m really struggling to discern between them. The main difference that I can see so far is the role of the researcher. In the early Functionalist days, ethnographies seem to be presented with little attention paid to the anthropologist’s positionality, but that’s not really the case since at least Geertz. How are they different?

[@qualitativeresearcher]

@@OpenGateSchool you are right in that this can be very confusing. But the purpose of narrative research and ethnography is quite different - in narrative studies we want to explore 1 person's, or a very few people's, detailed lived experience of something specific, whilst in ethnography you would aim to understand experiences of a whole culture-sharing group

[@mmdb901]

i would like to know more about a narrative approach to case studies

[@henryzhenhuanyang8419]

Thank you for your brief and clear introduction. It's really helpful to me. I am looking forward to listening to your talk about action research. Thank you.

[@qualitativeresearcher]

Thank you , I'm glad you liked it!

Too good ❤

[@AmazingGraceMulti-Servic-ir3cm]

Dr. K., can you please discuss the case study analysis? Thank you in advance.

[@qualitativeresearcher]

Case study analysis will technically be similar to other types of qualitative analysis (thematic analysis, etc), on which I have several videos already. Of course each study can be different, so there may be considerations such as "do I create separate thematic frameworks for my diffrent cases", etc., but technically the analysis will not be much different

[@AmazingGraceMulti-Servic-ir3cm]

@@qualitativeresearcher Thank you so much for replying. I will look for some of your videos. Have a good one!

[@muksalmina262]

Thank you for explanation, Dr. Kriukow. I have a question. If the study is about to investigate the role of religiosity in parenting practices in The Muslim families, should it be a case study or ethnography?

[@qualitativeresearcher]

This would depend on many more things, such as the research design, types of data you gather, or the exact aims of the study

[@michellechapanga336]

thank you. well explained

[@qualitativeresearcher]

Glad it was helpful!

[@daddyemman]

Can you do a video on Interpretive Description and IPA?

[@qualitativeresearcher]

I'd love to, and may one day ! :) Thank you for the suggestion!

[@margieroma1260]

Thanks for this Dr. Kriukow. Is it acceptable if you just simply write that the study is descriptive-qualitative? or it is advisable to mention specific approach like phenomenology, etc. in doing quali studies. Thank you.

[@qualitativeresearcher]

This depends on the supervisor, if you're a student writing a dissertation/thesis. Normally you are right, it is acceptable to just say this was an in-depth qualitative inquiry for example. Absolutely nothing wrong with this. Some supervisors , however, really like to insist on choosing a specific methodology (which is annoying)

[@margieroma1260]

@@qualitativeresearcher thanks for your reply. appreciated much.

[@manelben8056]

Thank you for this very informative video. I am investigating how female professionals manage their gendered identities and professional identities at the workplace. my question is, does identity enactment can be considered as a lived experience, meaning that phenomenological design is the most appropriate to conduct this kind of research ? and I am relying on interviews only

[@olatunjiismail2569]

Thank you for your effort. I would like to ask how one can address the issue of Hawthorne effect when using observation in data collection?

[@qualitativeresearcher]

Thank you for the question. I think I discuss this a little bit when interviewing Dr Huayi Huang about observations (one of the recent videos) so you may want to check there. Hope this helps!

What's the difference between phenomenology and case study?

What's the difference between narrative and case study

[@marcduineveld5525]

Goodevening dr Kriukow, could you tell us more about systematic text condensation, please?

[@qualitativeresearcher]

Do you mean systematic literature review? If so, I am soon planning to do a webinar about it

[@marcduineveld5525]

I’m interested in the work of Kirsti Malterud: Systematic text condensation: A strategy for qualitative analysis. I wonder what you think are the cons and pros in relation to the regular thematic text analysis.

[@qualitativeresearcher]

@@marcduineveld5525 I am not familiar with that methodology. Regarding thematic analysis and pros and cons, I find it hard, to be honest, to respond - it is just the most effective method of making sense of any qualitative data and until someone suggests another method, I am happy with it

[@marcduineveld5525]

Thank you for your response and your effort.

[@trackgrad08]

So the only thing that separates narrative from phenomenology is the number of participants?

[@DK-vy7ev]

No. Phenomenology is concerned with phenomena and meaning making, that is how the study group makes meaning of a particular phenomena. Narrative research is concerned about the lived experiences of the study group. Ps a phenomenological research can also have one participant (it just depends on the question and discipline)

[@peonyamarilla3681]

I really appreciate your effort. But can i ask question, is the 3 participants can consider as a group for focus group interview? If not, how do you call it? -- I am conducting study about cultures, practices and traditions Thank you in advance ❤

[@qualitativeresearcher]

Depends, a group interview is when you take turns to interview the 3 group members. A focus group is when the group members discuss the topic of your study among themselves

[@michamarkowski5090]

hahhahahaha "such as ahappy relationship" xD Phenomenology....
