Importance of Qualitative Research
Learning Activities
In this lesson, you are expected to
learn the following competencies: 1.
Differentiate quantitative from qualitative research.
2. Describe characteristics,
strengths, weaknesses, and kinds of qualitative research; and 3. Illustrate the
importance of qualitative research across fields.
According to Fraenkel et.al (2012) “Qualitative research is a type of
educational research in which the researcher relies on the views of participants; asks
broad, general questions; collects data consisting largely words (text) from participants;
describes and analyzes these words for themes; and conducts the inquiry in a
subjective, biased manner”. While, qualitative research is a type of educational
research in which the researcher relies on the views of participants; asks broad, general
questions; collects data consisting largely words (text) from participants; describes and
analyzes these words for themes; and conducts the inquiry in a subjective, biased
manner. (Fraenkel.et.al. 2012).

Characteristics of Qualitative Research
Qualitative research can be easily characterized by carefully observing how
some research elements such as: research design, data collection procedure, and
data analysis have been put into considerations. As cited from Spalding University
Library (2020), these three key elements will guide the researcher to properly conduct
a qualitative research study. To further understand this kind of research, its
characteristics are presented as follows:
1. Qualitative research is naturalistic.
2. Qualitative research is purposeful
3. Qualitative research is detailed.
4. Qualitative research requires engagement and neutrality.
5. Qualitative research follows an inductive procedure
6. Qualitative research is viewed in a holistic perspective
Strengths and Weakness of Qualitative Research
It is known that a qualitative type of research focuses more on explaining why
subjects under investigation think and behave in certain ways. With such purpose, it can
be observed that there are corresponding strengths and weaknesses a qualitative
research may have once it is employed by the researcher. As cited from University of
Denmark Library (2020), this type of research has its strengths and weaknesses presented
as follows:
Strengths:
1. Qualitative research complements quantitative data.
2. Qualitative research provides more detailed information to explain complex
issues.
3. Qualitative research is cost efficient.
1. Qualitative research cannot generalize the findings to the study population.
2. Qualitative research is more difficult to analyze.
3. Qualitative research is time consuming.
Importance of Qualitative Research Qualitative research
Qualitative research is oriented toward analyzing concrete cases in
temporal and local particularity. It starts from the respondents’ perspectives,
expressions, and activities in their local context. In this case, qualitative research is
important across many fields of inquiry because it is designed for social sciences,
psychology, and other fields. With this, qualitative research would verify or validate the
tendencies, transform it into research programs, and maintain the necessary changes
toward its objectives and tasks.
