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.
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.
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
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.
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
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?
@@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
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?
@@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
Thank you so much for this. Do we have to use either of these designs for our qualitative research. For example, i would have thought that exploring the experiences of a certain population on a particular topic would be Phenomenology, since the others didn't really fit, but phenomenology seems really complex as well. In this scenario, what would you advice i do?
you don't - these are just "templates" that may be useful, but it is totally ok to do a study that does not necessarily fit into one of these (having said this, many academic supervisors put pressure on the students to choose one of these methodologies)
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?
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!
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.
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)
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.
@@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
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 ❤
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
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)
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

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.
Glad it was helpful!

Glad it was helpful, and I will keep this suggestion in mind
thank you very much for your brief explanation. It's great to find you here. Thank you..
Glad it was helpful!
Fabulous explanation! Thank you so much, you have stopped my head exploding! :)
lol, happy to help :)
I just started this class and to be honest I was lost but you definitely make it very clear to understand. Thank you very much
Glad it helped!
Amaizing ! and thank you for explaining all 5 methodologies in one pocket
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
Clear and concise,thank you.
Phenomenal video!! Thank you for the breakdown.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great information Dr. K!!
Glad it was helpful!
you nailed it, very understandable
great videos, thank you for explaining.

Can you do a video on Interpretive Description and IPA?
I'd love to, and may one day ! :) Thank you for the suggestion!
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?
This would depend on many more things, such as the research design, types of data you gather, or the exact aims of the study
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?
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!
@@qualitativeresearcher Thank you for your response. I'll look that up.

Goodevening dr Kriukow, could you tell us more about systematic text condensation, please?
Do you mean systematic literature review? If so, I am soon planning to do a webinar about it

What's the difference between narrative and case study
What's the difference between phenomenology and case study?
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 ❤
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
So the only thing that separates narrative from phenomenology is the number of participants?
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)
