Research Tools Resources designed to help you.
Any kind of investigation must have a focus for its activities. In qualitative research this should take the form of a broad aim, followed by specific objectives. As qualitative research is often an iterative process, these can be re-developed as you move through the project. However, for planning and developing a qualitative research project, these are important starting points.
This session provides a guide for planning and designing a qualitative research study and has the following objectives:
- To demonstrate how to use a simple planning framework
- To show how to select, analyse and formulate a statement for a research problem
- To provide a guide for formulating a research aim and objectives
You can download the powerpoint here and some key definitions here.
