9 2 - QUALITATIVE RESEARCH

10 2 - QUALITATIVE RESEARCH 1) A Focus on Intepretation and Meaning

11 2 - QUALITATIVE RESEARCH 1) A Focus on Intepretation and Meaning 2) A Focus on How Respondents Make Sense of Their Own Circumstances

12 2 - QUALITATIVE RESEARCH 1) A Focus on Intepretation and Meaning 2) A Focus on How Respondents Make Sense of Their Own Circumstances 3) The Use of Multiple Tactics

13 QUALITATIVE RESEARCH STRATEGY Holistic Prolonged Open-Ended Words + Graphics Personal / Informal

29 REPRESENTATION VS. MODEL

30 6 - LOGICAL ARGUMENTATION

31 6 - LOGICAL ARGUMENTATION 1) The framing of a BROAD explanatory theory based on first principles.

32 6 - LOGICAL ARGUMENTATION 1) The framing of a BROAD explanatory theory based on first principles. 2) A critical focus on ORIGIN and NECESSITY.

33 6 - LOGICAL ARGUMENTATION 1) The framing of a BROAD explanatory theory based on first principles. 2) A critical focus on ORIGIN and NECESSITY. 3) A critical focus on the ralation between TERMS.

34 6 - LOGICAL ARGUMENTATION 1) The framing of a BROAD explanatory theory based on first principles. 2) A critical focus on ORIGIN and NECESSITY. 3) A critical focus on the ralation between TERMS. 4) A critical focus on CATAGORIES.

35 7 - CASE STUDIES

36 7 - CASE STUDIES What do you get out of a case study?

37 7 - CASE STUDIES What do you get out of a case study? A case study is an empirical inquiry that investigates a contemporary phenomenon within its real-life context, especially when the boundaries between phenomenon and context are not clearly evident.

38 7 - CASE STUDIES Primary identifying characteristics:

39 7 - CASE STUDIES Primary identifying characteristics: 1) A focus on either single or multiple cases, studies in real life contexts

40 7 - CASE STUDIES Primary identifying characteristics: 1) A focus on either single or multiple cases, studies in real life contexts 2) The capacity to explain causal links

41 7 - CASE STUDIES Primary identifying characteristics: 1) A focus on either single or multiple cases, studies in real life contexts 2) The capacity to explain causal links 3) The importance of theory development in the research design phase

42 7 - CASE STUDIES Primary identifying characteristics: 1) A focus on either single or multiple cases, studies in real life contexts 2) The capacity to explain causal links 3) The importance of theory development in the research design phase 4) The reliance on multiple sources of evidence, with data converging in a tirangular fashion

43 7 - CASE STUDIES Primary identifying characteristics: 1) A focus on either single or multiple cases, studies in real life contexts 2) The capacity to explain causal links 3) The importance of theory development in the research design phase 4) The reliance on multiple sources of evidence, with data converging in a tirangular fashion 5) The power to generalize to theory
