Kinds of Qualitative Research
1. Phenomenological – focuses on
subjective lived experiences of the
participants in order to understand
phenomenon.
The researcher is concerned with the feelings
of the participants regarding a particular
event or activity, hence the uniqueness of
their lived situations can be described.
 interview
2. Ethnographic – concentrates on the
study of a group of people in a particular
environment.
To characterize behaviors, cultures,
challenges, and possible occurring
themes, the researcher is required to
engage himself/herself with the
participants through immersion
 observation, interview, survey
3. Grounded Theory – intends to explain a
phenomenon through developing a
theory. In comparison with
phenomenological study, grounded
theory aims to provide explanation and
theory behind those lived experiences.
 interview
 supporting documents
4. Case study – allows the researcher to
have an intensive analysis of the
phenomenon.
Its aim is to accurately describe the case
through an in-depth examination of a
single person or single institution.
 interview, observation and
documentation
5. Historical – concerned with the
identification, evaluation, and synthesis
of past event data.
It aims to understand present patterns
and to anticipate future choices through
clearly relating the past event data which
are obtained from sources such as
documents, relics and artifacts, and oral
reports.
6. Narrative – Life accounts of individuals
based on their personal experiences are
typically obtained and analyzed.
Its objective is to extract meaningful
context based on the documented
experiences.
It focuses on the nature of the story told
by the participants.
 Narrative, discourse analysis
