THE DURATION AND PHASES OF
QUALITATIVE RESEARCH
Text points to
the main characteristics of the research process when we use qualitative
approach. Qualitative research design differs from the conventional linear
model, which is typical for quantitative research. Qualitative research begins
with selection of a research problem and then follows a cyclical pattern in
which changes can be made in any phase of the research. New questions, tasks
and hypotheses generate during the research and collection and analysis of data
can be done in succession or together.
One possible approach
for qualitative analysis is presented in the text although there is not unique
and precise strategy for analyzing qualitative data.
