OF RESEARCH
PRACTICAL RESEARCH 1
QUALITATIVE RESEARCH METHODA

2. RESEARCH is defined as the
scientific investigation of
phenomena which includes
collection, presentation, analysis
and interpretation of facts that
lines an individual’s speculation
with reality.

3. Following the major definition of
research as the scientific investigation
of phenomena which includes
collection, presentation, analysis
and interpretation of facts, strict
adherence to ethical standards in
planning and conducting in both
qualitative and quantitative research is
most important.

4. Research is based on
direct experience or
observation by the
researcher.
EMPIRICAL

5. Research is based on valid
procedures and
principles.
LOGICAL

6. Research is a cyclical
process because it starts
with a problem and ends
with a problem.
CYCLICAL

7. Research utilizes proven
analytical procedures in
gathering the data, whether
historical, descriptive, and
experimental and case study
ANALYTICAL

8. Research exhibits
careful and precise
judgment.

9. Research is conducted in a
methodical manner without
bias using systematic method
and procedures.

10. The research design and procedures
are replicated or repeated to enable
the researcher to arrive at valid and
conclusive results.
REPLICABILITY

11. ETHICS
and
RESEARCH

12. The most common way of defining “ethics”
is to refer as norms for conduct
that distinguish between acceptable and
unacceptable behavior. These are direct
networks among people because they
recognize some common ethical norms but
interpret, apply, and balance them in
different ways in the light of their own values
and experiences (Resmik, 2015).

13. FUNCTIONS
OF ETHICS

14. 1. Norms promote the aims of research such
as knowledge, truth and evidence of error.
2. Ethical standards promote the values that
are essential to collaborative work such as
trust, accountability, mutual respect and
fairness.

15. 3. Ethical norms ensure that researchers can
be held accountable to the public.
4. Ethical norms in research, is research that
helps build public
support quality and integrity of research.

16. ETHICAL
CONSIDERATION
When doing a qualitative inquiry, certain issues
may arise. Let us consider ethical issues that
may be inherent in qualitative research.

17. 1. The kind of information obtained because of the
length and personal interaction that ensues when
doing a qualitative inquiry may give rise to an
issue or issues.
2. With regard to the researcher’s relationship to
the participants, the researcher is expected to act
professionally, maintaining respect towards
them.

18. 3. The researcher is expected to give back to
the subjects/participants of the research and
to show appreciation for their commitment of
time, effort, and cooperation.
4. The researcher writes a letter and seeks to
be allowed to conduct a study
