Library Class Guide

Qualitative Design

" Qualitative research is multimethod in focus, involving an interpretive, naturalistic approach to its subject matter. This means that qualitative researchers study things in their natural settings, attempting to make sense of, or interpret, phenomena in terms of the meanings people bring to them.

...

Qualitative methods can include: diary accounts, open-ended questionnaires, documents, unstructured interviews, participant observation, and ethnography." --SimplyPsychology.org 

The researcher is an active part of the process. Choices can be explained by the subjects.
