Hey guys,
In my master thesis I used a very interesting process model of quantitaive research. now I need one for qualitative :-)
you can find the model here:

Is there any model like this (with dimensions and levels) for qualitative research? I like it very much because it is not just a "flow-chart" with some activities. what models are you using?
Thx
th
hey there,
really comprehensive model.
I haven't come across to a similar model in qual research, however the approach i use is similar to the previous model:
1. find a knowledge gap
2. theoretical research
3. design a conceptual framework and build topic guides for interviews
4.test the topic guide in a pilot
5.start the data collection -- an iterative and systematic process between data collection and analysis which will inform the conceptual framework-- further explore the conceptual framework
6. find links with theory in order to understand or explore further the subject you are researching
hope it helps
