    Frequently Asked Questions about Qualitative Research Methods

    • Qualitative research methods are techniques used to collect non-numerical data such as video, audio, or text to better understand experiences, concepts, and opinions.

Methods may include observations, interviews, focus groups, and visual analysis. Additionally, you can take a variety of approaches for this research, including:

      • Ethnography, when researchers immerse themselves in a group to better grasp the culture • Grounded theory, which involves the collection of data on a specific topic that's used to create theories • Narrative research, during which you analyze how stories are told as a way of understanding the experiences of participants • Action research, which combines theory and practice to create change‎
