ETICS

To realize ethical research is vital because dealing with human subjects in depth can affect both participants and researchers.

Ethical principles can make researchers achieve the goals of a research as well as respect the participants’ rights.

Participants contribute to the analysis of the data they generate

CHARCTERISTICS

According to Bogdan and Biklen (2007) qualitative research is:

Inductive: theories or concepts are built on the base of gathering data.

Meaning: it is of essential concern to the qualitative approach and it is based on participant´s perspectives.

Concern with process: focuses on process rather than outcomes; focus group, in-depth interviews and participant observation are main methods of data collection.

Naturalistic: a no experimental approach in which subjects are studied in their natural settings; there isn´t manipulation of the environment

Descriptive data: the data collected take the form of words or pictures rather than numbers (photographs, videos, personal documents). All details are considerate.

DEFINITION
