- It is a type of research that aims to gather and analysis non-numerical data in order to gain an understanding of individuals' social reality, including understanding their attitudes, beliefs, and motivation
- The most frequently used qualitative research methods are one-on-one interviews, focus groups, ethnographic research, case study research, record keeping, and qualitative observation
- Four criteria are widely used to appraise the trustworthiness of qualitative research: credibility, dependability, confirmability and transferability
- Credibility is a measure of the truth value of qualitative research, or whether the study's findings are correct and accurate. To some degree, it relies on the credibility of the researchers themselves, as well as their research methods
- Dependability refers to the consistency and reliability of the research findings and the degree to which research procedures are documented, allowing someone outside the research to follow, audit, and critique the research process
- Confirmability is The degree to which the findings of the research study could be confirmed by other researchers. Confirmability is concerned with establishing that data and interpretations of the findings are not figments of the imagination, but clearly derived from the data.
- Transferability The degree to which the results of qualitative research can be transferred to other contexts or settings with other respondents. The researcher facilitates the transferability judgment by a potential user through thick description.
