Qualitative Research Methodology
Characteristics and Types of Qualitative
Research Methods
DEFINITION OF QUALITATIVE METHOD
Qualitative research method is a research method based on the philosophy of
postpositivism, used to examine the condition of natural objects, (as opposed to
experimentation) where the researcher is the key instrument, the sampling of data
sources is carried out purposively and snowballing, the collection technique is
triangulation (combined). ), data analysis is inductive/qualitative, and qualitative
research results emphasize meaning rather than generalization.
DEFINITION OF QUALITATIVE RESEARCH
• Qualitative research can also be defined as a type of research whose findings
are not obtained through statistical procedures or other forms of calculation
(Strauss & Corbin, 2003)
• Qualitative research departs from the philosophy of constructivism (Nana
Syaodih)
• Qualitative research methods are research methods based on the philosophy
of postpositivism (Sugiyono)
DEFINITION OF QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE RESEARCH METHODS
• Quantitative methods are often called traditional, positivistic, scientific and
discovery methods.
• Qualitative methods are often called new, postpositivistic methods; artistic and
interpretive research.
• The quantitative method is also called the traditional method because this
method has been used for a long time so that it has become a tradition as a
method for research.
• The positivistic method because it is based on the philosophy of positivism.
• The scientific method because it has complied with scientific principles,
namely empirical, objective, measurable, rational and systematic.
• Discovery method because this method can be found and developed a variety
of new science and technology.
• Quantitative method because the research data is in the form of numbers and
the analysis uses statistics.
• Qualitative research methods are named as new methods because of their
recent popularity.
, • This method is called the postpositivistic method because it is based on the
philosophy of postpositivism.
• The artistic method because the research process is more artistic (less
patterned).
• Interpretive method because the research data is more related to the
interpretation of the data found in the field.
• Quantitative research methods: research methods based on the philosophy of
positivism, used to examine certain populations or samples, data collection
using instruments, quantitative/statistical data analysis with the aim of testing
predetermined hypotheses.
• Qualitative research methods (naturalistic research methods) because the
research is carried out in natural conditions (natural settings) are referred to
as ethnographic methods because initially this method was mostly used for
research in the field of cultural anthropology.
• Qualitative method because the data collected and the analysis are more
qualitative in nature.
• Quantitative research method is a research method based on the philosophy
of postpositivism, used to examine the condition of natural objects (as
opposed to experiments) where the researcher is the key instrument, data
collection techniques are carried out by triangulation (combined), data
analysis is inductive/qualitative and the results of qualitative research
emphasize meaning rather than generalizations.
DIFFERENCES OF QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH
• The difference between qualitative methods and quantitative methods is in the
axioms, research processes and research characteristics.
• Difference axioms
- axioms about reality,
- the relationship between the researcher and the researched,
- variable relationship,
- the possibility of generalization,
- value role.
• Quantitative methods are based on the philosophy of positivism, reality is
seen as a concrete fit that can be observed with the five senses, can be
categorized according to type, shape, color and behavior, does not change,
can be measured and verified.
• Qualitative methods based on postpositivism philosophy or interpretive
paradigm, a reality or object cannot be seen partially and is broken down into
several variables.
• Qualitative research views the object as something dynamic, the result of the
construction of thought and interpretation of the observed phenomena and is
holistic (holistic) because every aspect of the object has a unity that cannot be
separated.
