QUALITATIVE RESEARCH

You are here:

Qualitative research involves collecting and analyzing non-numerical data e.g. text, video, or audio to understand concepts, opinions, or experiences. Qualitative approach gathers in-depth insights into a problem or generate new ideas for the research through open-ended conversational communication.

Qualitative research aims to get a better understanding through first-hand experience, truthful reporting, and quotations of actual conversations. It aims to understand how the participants derive meaning from their surroundings, and how their meaning influences their behavior.

Qualitative research methodologies include;

  • In-depth interviews: moderator asking the participant questions in one-on-one conversations. In-depth interviews (IDIs) can be physical IDIs (Key informant interviews (KIIs)) and also Telephone in-depth interviews (TIIs),
  • Focus groups: moderator asking the participants questions and generating discussion among a group of people. Focus groups discussions (FGD) can be physicals FGDs and Online FGDs
  • Observations: recording what you have seen, heard, or encountered in detailed field notes.
