| description | The research possibilities of a qualitative approach have a long tradition in the social sciences and humanities,
including different perspectives on theoretical foundations, research strategies, techniques, and data collection
and analysis methods. The qualitative methodology first developed in cultural anthropology and ethnology, where
the anthropological works of Malinowski, Strauss, Boas, and others marked the foundations of the field method of
collecting data and conducting ethnographic studies. However, to date, there is no single definition of qualitative
methodology, just as there are no studies that do not require the dimensions of different approaches. Starting
from the observation that the question of the compatibility of qualitative and quantitative research methods is
still a source of disagreement among researchers, arising from academic criticism of the quality and reliability of
qualitative research, this study aims to highlight the role and importance of qualitative research in the scientific and
educational process. Through the theoretical analysis of the relevant sources of methodological studies, the authors
present some fundamental principles of the qualitative approach and its leading research strategies, illustrating
the theoretical aspects with the most important constructs in this methodological area. The findings of this article
show that despite the diversity of scientific literature and research on defining the value of qualitative research, a
systematic and in-depth study of qualitative methodological issues is still needed to contribute to the improvement
of the literature and increase the value of this approach in scientific and educational research practice. Accordingly,
although the authors sustain a mixed research approach, they also emphasize the importance of qualitative methods,
which should not be viewed separately from the research process. |
