Qualitative Research Concept Map

The data obtained by the researcher from first-hand observation, interviews, questionnaires, focus groups, participant-observation, recordings made in natural settings, documents, case studies, and artifacts are shown in this qualitative research concept map. The information is mostly non-numerical. Ethnography, grounded theory, discourse analysis, and interpretative phenomenological analysis are examples of qualitative methods. Sociology, anthropology, political science, psychology, social work, and educational research have all used qualitative research methods. This qualitative research concept map illustrates that qualitative researchers investigate people's perceptions of their social reality.
