What is unique about qualitative research?
-
Sometimes, when I look at the research of some qualitative researchers, I get the feeling that it is closer to self-cultivation, self-education, or self-education than research.
So, I think qualitative research isn't just about writing a paper.
What does it mean to conduct qualitative research? What makes qualitative research unique?
-
What is the uniqueness of qualitative research? What does it mean to conduct qualitative research? The uniqueness of qualitative research can be explained in various ways, but I believe the essence of its uniqueness lies in its reciprocity.
This uniqueness of reciprocity can be understood through several key terms frequently used in qualitative research.
Intersubjectivity, intertextuality, interpretation, interview, etc.
Examining the English structure of these key words can help us understand the reciprocity of qualitative research more clearly.
Cho Yong-hwan (2019b) structured the meaning of key concepts in qualitative research by breaking them down into the prefix and suffix 'inter'. Here, I will borrow that idea and try to understand the meaning of conducting qualitative research by considering five important concepts in qualitative research.
--- p.10~11
I would like to know the specifics of writing field notes.
-
I've started doing participant observation and taking field notes, and as I write, I often find myself using abstract, compressed expressions and technical terms without even realizing it.
Above all, when observing, events seen are often summarized in a few sentences rather than described in detail in everyday language.
How does it specifically describe events "without summarizing them," "without paraphrasing them into the researcher's language," and "within the concrete, everyday language"? I'd like to know about real-life examples of observational records.
-
Earlier, we discussed three principles for recording participant observation.
First, record what you see without summarizing the event (principle of description).
Second, record what you hear as it is without changing it into the researcher's language (principle of verbatim).
Third, use concrete, everyday language rather than abstract language (principle of concreteness).
Let's examine these three principles for recording participant observation with specific examples of recording.

Publisher's Review
The A to Z of Qualitative Research: From Planning to Writing
This is a guide to qualitative research methods that covers the entire research process, from planning what and how to research to communicating research results to invisible readers.
This is because research methods are not just tools used in the intermediate stages of research, but rather a paradigm and perspective that frame everything from research questions to presentation of research results and communication with readers.
This book faithfully fulfills its function as a research methodology manual, explaining qualitative research theory and tradition, its unique characteristics, and methods of data collection, analysis, interpretation, and reproduction. At the same time, it also covers cutting-edge issues and topics in the field of qualitative research, such as new materialism, posthumanism, photo essays, and photovoice.
You can follow the ten chapters in order, or you can start with the chapter that covers the research process you are currently in and get some help.
A research methodology book that starts from the researchers' real questions.
The author, who conducts qualitative research himself and also assists and guides the qualitative research of many colleagues and junior researchers, wrote this book based on the real questions researchers ask.
The 58 questions that 41 qualitative researchers encountered during their actual research became the framework of the book.
The questions you face when taking a research methodology class or reading a paper are quite different from those you face when conducting actual research, and the answers you need are also different.
For researchers who need practical problem solving rather than abstract understanding, this book's specific and concrete questions and candid answers based on a wealth of case studies will be helpful.
It is impossible to provide a 'manual' that formalizes the research process about and by humans.
However, by sharing our own questions and challenging experiences and answering them together, we will be able to grasp what qualitative research is and how to do it.
