Research Methodology Coursehero

This document outlines the methodology for a qualitative research study. It discusses the research design which takes an interpretivist paradigm and qualitative methodology. It describes the purposive sampling strategy which involves academic researchers and administrators from public universities. Data collection will involve in-depth semi-structured interviews which will be transcribed and analyzed using inductive content analysis. Rigor will be ensured through credibility, transferability, dependability and confirmability. Ethics will be maintained through confidentiality, informed consent and reducing harm.

SAMPLE SIZE

Authors cannot agree on the maximum number of sample in


THE qualitative research. According to Boddy (2016, p.4), any qualitative
sample size over 30 will become too unwieldy to administer and
RESEARCH analyse. Generally however, in determining sample size in a
DESIGN qualitative research, the researcher should take into consideration
the scope of the study, nature of the topic, the contact time to be
spent on each respondent and the homogeneity (similarity) of the
population under consideration (Morse, 2000; Marshall et al., 2013;
Trotter, 2012 cited in Boddy, 2016, p.4) .

STEP 6 | PRESENTING THE RESULTS OF THE ANALYSIS

The inductive analysis of transcribed interview texts in this research


follows for the most parts the method of inductive content analysis described
by Erlingsson and Brysiewicz (2017) and Burnard, Gill, Stewart, Treasure and
Chadwick (2008).
PRESENTING THE RESULTS OF ANALYSIS

According to Braun and Clarke (2006, p. 93), producing the report of


analysis is a phase that begins when the researcher have a set of a fully
worked-out themes and involves the final analysis and the writing-up of the
THE report.
The task of the researcher in the report is to tell the complicated story
RESEARCH of the data in a way which convinces the reader of the merit and validity of
his/her analysis.
DESIGN
However, Braun and Clarke (2006, p. 93) also cautioned that the
analytic narrative needs to be more than descriptive account of the data
and instead must make an argument in relation to the research
question.
