Framework research method and qualitative approach

A Qualitative Approach

A qualitative approach is the general way one approaches research that is anticipated to produce findings that can be interpreted qualitatively. The chosen qualitative study technique should clearly state a goal, which may be either explicit or implicit. (Kirk et al., 2015).

The Methodology Supporting the Same Approach

Additionally, the methodology supporting the same approach should detail the specific stages and roles that the research is intended to play throughout the course of the study in question. Finally, it should describe the type of data analysis that should be used to produce the desired results. In accordance to Vaismoradi et al., (2016) the development of a theme that is both analytic in terms of content and data involves a close scrutiny of the information that is meant to be analyzed in order to avoid instances in which erroneous results may occur.

The Application of the Framework Method

The most common method that has proven to be effective in the analysis of data and information has been the application of the Framework method (Langford et al., 2015). Also, an advantage with the means is that it is quite easy when the data involved is qualitative rather than quantitative. However, there are issues that are pertinent to the use and application of the method of research since it also has some limitations which have caused potential limitations and factors that deter effectiveness in application.

Choice of the Framework Research Method

By so saying, I intend to use the Framework research method due to the effectiveness of its nature and the ease of application (Bravo et al., 2015). There may be a controversy over the limitations that the means may pose as far as qualitative research studies may be concerned but I have taken measures that would ensure there are a few or no errors at all (Brooks et al., 2015). During the time when conducting my research, I would exercise strictness and keenness in order to deviate from the limitations of the means. Also, it would suffice to ensure that the outcomes of the study are credible for anyone who would be reviewing the results or compiling research data using the same findings (Allen et al., 2014).

The Rationale Underlying the Choice of the Approach

The rationale underlying the choice of the approach for the qualitative study is that the aforementioned studies involve systematic inquiries into social phenomena in cases involving natural settings and is the platform that is broadly supported by the study method (Ranasinghe et al., 2014). Also, another rationale is that the qualitative research studies involve a variation in the set of paradigms as opposed to the quantitative research studies. The reason being that they are based on the single beliefs that are underpinned on the ideas of positivists and the fundamental thoughts they hold in pertinence to reality and approach to research methods that are experimental.

Gaining First-Hand Experience

Also, when one uses a qualitative research method which in this case would be the application of Framework research method, they stand to gain first-hand experience as they actively take part in the study which is one of the most formidable reasons as to why I made the decision to use the study method (Thomson et al., 2015). The intention I have for conducting the research is to form a pattern that would be easy to follow up when there is a need to make quick decisions in accordance to the field that I would be carrying out the study (Meeks et al., 2014). Thereby, landing into the phenomenology, grounded theory, and ethnography form the basis on which the study would be based and serve as the platform and objectives on which the study has to be pegged on in order to arrive at the much desired results (Birt et al., 2016).
