The use of structures Sample Clauses

The use of structures in qualitative methods The amount and type of structure employed in qualitative methods such as semi- interviews and focus groups is crucial as predetermining structures carries a risk of potential bias in the data collected and the analyses that arises from the researcher bringing preconceptions to the study. This risk can be guarded against by being transparent about the reasons for the varying degrees of structures used in qualitative research. The risk must be balanced against the many benefits of using some structure in qualitative studies. The extent to which the structure and coverage of data collection can be planned in advance will vary depending on the purposes of the study (Xxxxxxxxx, 2011a). Xxxxxx & Xxxxxx (2003) have set out principles to help determine what amount of structure is likely to be optimal for qualitative data collection considering the objectives being sought. For example, data collection is likely to need to be more structured in an evaluative or investigative study looking at the operation of a service or a policy. If the study needs to provide descriptive evidence of people’s experiences or opinions of a service, a fair amount of detailed information is likely to be needed as predetermined structures to aid data collection. Studies with a particular emphasis on comparison between individual and groups of participants will usually also require relatively more structure, in order to cover the same issues with the different comparison groups. Similarly data collection may need to be more structured if more than one researcher is collecting the data to promote consistency between them. In general too, focus group data collection is less likely to be structured than in-depth interviewing because a key strength of focus groups is that data emerges through interactions between the participants (Xxxxxx & Xxxxxx, 2003).
