Five Qualitative Methodologies
Ethnography
Ethnography is a descriptive research approach designed for in-depth investigation and
description of cultures, cultural groups, large organizations and groupings, and their features.
Ethnographers immerse themselves in the culture or organization they are studying, becoming a
part of the culture in order to learn about it from the inside out. Consequently, this approach
often requires longer timeframes for data collection, and ethnographers frequently return a
number of times to the sites of their investigations to obtain more data. As a result, many
doctoral learners avoid ethnographic studies because of the typically long time commitments.
However, ethnography can be a fruitful approach, even in shorter periods, for understanding the
customs, culture, belief systems, and implicit “rules” of organizations and large groups.
Ethnography is based on the anthropological tradition of research. Keep in mind that the culture
being studied could be a corporate culture, such as that of Microsoft or a small start-up
company; or the culture of a particular group of people operating in a specific social
environment, such as that of a third-grade classroom among the students, teachers, teacher’s
aides, and so on. An important aspect of this research approach is that the participants (culture)
are studied in their natural habitat and social contexts. Individuals are not the unit of analysis for
ethnography, although they may be sources of valuable data. Thus, qualitative research
questions in social psychology and group psychology often are well-answered by ethnographic
research.
Case Study
A case study is the in-depth study—using multiple methods and data sources—of a single case.
Sometimes a number of cases are studied and reported together. The “case” in a case study is
the object of study. A case study is an exploration of a “bounded system” over time. The phrase
“bounded system” means that the target to be studied is easily distinguished for other instances
of the same phenomenon; it has a clear boundary differentiating it from all others. Think of a
case of measles (that is, one patient who has the measles), or a case of homicide (a single
incident of murder, including the victim, the murderer, the police, the attorneys—anyone and
anything relevant to the particular murder event). In those cases, the boundary is clear and it
encircles all the information about the patient and his or her disease or the victim and the
circumstances of the murder.
One could study a single case (in which a single instance is investigated in depth) or multiple
cases (in which a number of instances of the target are studied and then compared with one
another). For example, a single case study might investigate a single treatment program (the
bounded system being that program and no other) or a new way of teaching reading in a school
system (the bounded system being.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

2. 6 Types of Qualitative Research to be Discussed Basic Phenomenology Grounded Theory Ethnography Narrative Analysis Critical
3. Basic Qualitative Research the researcher is interested in understanding the meaning a phenomenon has for those involved
4. The Basic Qualitative Researcher would be interested in… How people interpret their experiences How people construct their world What meaning people attribute to their experience The overall purpose is to understand how people make sense of their lives and their experiences
5. Summary of Basic Qualitative Research Basic qualitative research can be found throughout the other types of qualitative research The focus of all qualitative research is on how meaning is constructed, how people make sense of their lives and their worlds The goal of Basic Qualitative research is to uncover and interpret the meanings
6. Phenomenology The researcher is interested in the lived experience and the everyday life and social actions of people
7. Phenomenology is based on… The assumption that there is an essence or essences to shared experience. These essences are the core meanings mutually understood through a phenomenon commonly experienced. The experiences of different people are bracketed, analyzed, and compared to identify the essences of the phenomenon, for example, the essence of loneliness, the essence of being a mother, or the essence of being a participant in a particular program. The assumption of essence, like the ethnographer’s that culture exists and is important, becomes the defining characteristic of a purely phenomenological study. (Patton. 2002.pg 106)
8.
9. Phenomenologist's Task Continued… Phenomenological reduction= continually returning to the essence of the experience to derive the inner meaning or structure Horizontalization= laying out all the data for examination and treating the data as having equal weight (all data have equal value) Imaginative Variation= viewing the data from various perspectives (seeing different things from different angles)
10. Phenomenology Results… A composite description that presents the essence of the phenomenon (essential, invariant structure) The researcher should come away from the experience thinking ‘I understand better what it is like for someone to experience that’
11. Ethnography Research focuses on human society and culture (referring to beliefs, values, and attitudes that structure the behavior patterns of a specific group of people)
12. The Ethnographic Researcher… Must understand the culture (in order to do that one must spend time in the group being studied) Must immerse one’s self the group/culture being studied Interviews, analysis of documents, records, and artifacts, fieldwork diary entries, ideas, impressions, and insights in regard to those events
13.
14. Grounded Theory… Focus is on building theory Grounded theory is particularly useful for addressing process about how things change over time Data comes from interviews, observations, and a wide variety of documentary materials
15. Grounded Theory Researcher… First data collected through theoretical sampling Collects and analyzes data, then decides what data to collect next in order to develop theory as it emerges Second data are analyzed using the constant comparative method Involves comparing one piece of data with another to determine similarities and differences and then categorizing the information accordingly Third identification of a core category (main conceptual element through which all other categories are connected)
16. Grounded Theory Researcher Continued… The theory that is developed from the previously stated method is substantive Meaning it is a theory that applies to the everyday world Examples: coping mechanisms of returning adult students, reading programs that work in low-income children, etc.
17. Narrative Analysis Use of stories as data, and more specifically first-person accounts of experience told in story form having a beginning, middle and end Other terms for these “stories”= biographies, life history, oral history, autoethnography, and autobiography First-person accounts of experiences constitute the narrative “text” which is then analyzd for the meaning by the author
18. Narrative Analysis Hermeneutic philosophy (the study of written texts) is often cited as informing narrative analysis. Focuses on the interpretation/meaning in stories, and other texts. In order to make sense and interpret the text. Important in gathering the meaning intended to be communicated by the author (allows the text/document to be placed in an accurate historical/cultural reference)
19. The Narrative Analysis Researcher… Must examine how the story is constructed (use of linguistic tools, analyze cultural context of the story) Biographical, psychological, and linguistic approaches are the most common Biographical= analyzed in terms of importance of gender and race, family origin, life events, and turning point experiences Psychological= analyze in terms of personal thought and motivations Linguistic= analyze in terms of language of the story or spoken text (take into account intonation, pitch, and pauses)
20. The Narrative Analysis Researcher Continued… Must be able to decipher how best to tell an individual’s story Must be able to process the trustworthiness and reliability of these stories Keep in mind, “We do not find stories; we make stories.” (Mishler. 1995 pg 117)
21. Critical Research… The goal is to critique and challenge, to transform and to empower. Patton states, “ critical [research] is that it seeks not just to study and understand society but rather to critique and change society.”
22. The Critical Researcher… Must raise the question about how power relations advance the interests of one group while oppressing those of other groups; and the nature of truth and construction of knowledge Must not just seek to understand what is going on, but also to critique the way things are in order to bring about social change towards a more just society
23. The Critical Researcher Continued… PAR= Participatory Action Research (lens in which Critical Research can be accomplished) Central focus is on the political empowerment of people through their involvement in the design and implementation of a research project Crucial component- engage in research in order to better understand the covert and overt manifestations of oppression, understanding then leads to more control of life through collective action Theory and action are united in this type of Critical Research
24. Summary… Basic (most common)= understanding how people make sense of their experiences (data collected through interviews, observations, and documents-analyzed to address question posed) All other types of qualitative research have the same characteristics. However, each has an added dimension.
25. Summary Continued… Phenomenology= interested in the essence or underlying structure of a phenomenon Ethnography= focus on sociocultural interpretation Grounded Theory= build substantive theory grounded in data collected Narrative Analysis= use stories to understand experience Critical Research= seeks to uncover oppression and to empower
