Qualitative research the basics, a simple explanation for masters degree and PhD students

The basics of qualitative research are essential for PhD and masters degree students to understand before they start designing qualitative studies. Let me explain the essential principles of qualitative research, drawing comparisons to the quantitative counterparts.
Together, we'll discover the value of subjectivity in qualitative research and see how qualitative researchers embrace diverse perspectives to enhance the depth and authenticity of their findings.
We'll explore the concept of validity, where trustworthiness and authenticity take precedence over measurement accuracy, setting the stage for credible qualitative inquiries.
When it comes to reliability, we'll see how this is redefined in qualitative research as dependability within the unique context of each study. It's all about transparent research design to ensure others can see what you've done - not so they can replicate it - but so they can understand how you reached your conclusions.
Whether you're a seasoned qualitative researcher or just beginning your PhD journey, this video will give you valuable insights that will elevate your understanding of qualitative research core principles and empower you to navigate this intricate terrain with confidence!

    I have used NVivo in the past if I've been working on a big project with a large volume of data - however, for smaller projects I still do the analysis using highlighter pens and sticky notes!
