Observation can take many forms. What are four different forms of observation and how are they described?
(70) VerifiedStudents should identify and describe the following four forms of observation: (a) Complete participant: Researcher takes part in the activity, event, or phenomenon under study. As such, she or he essentially becomes a participant, which is particularly useful in developing rapport with participants; (b) Participant as observer: Researcher engages as both a participant and researcher. Her or his role as researcher is more obvious because active participation is combined with time taken to record observations; (c) Observer as participant: Researcher participates in the activity with participants, but participation is of secondary importance to actually recording observations. When acting as observer as participant, the researcher typically observes from a distance, but the participants are still aware that the researcher is present; and (d) Complete observer: Researcher has no interaction with the participants, and they are typically not noticed or seen by participants.
What are the main components of an observational protocol and how are these main components described?
(77) VerifiedStudents should identify and describe the following four main components of an observational protocol: (a) Header: This is a brief descriptive title about the observation session, including the length of the observation period; (b) Descriptive notes: This section provides a space for summarizing and describing activities or phenomenon. Such descriptions are typically reported in chronological order, with specific times recorded; (c) Reflective notes: This section, which is a column directly beside the descriptive notes, provides a space for the researcher to describe her or his feelings, reflections, or brief interpretations of the activities or phenomenon; and (d) Visual sketch: A visual depiction of the setting in which the observation took place may provide additional information that is useful for describing the context and the activity or phenomenon being studied.

(78) It is not possible for researchers to use a combination of qualitative strategies of inquiry.
(82) Within qualitative research, data collection typically takes place in what type of setting?
(71) Sample size is a hotly debated topic within the qualitative research literature.
(88) Within narrative research, stories can stand alone as a description of experience(s).
(82) Which qualitative strategy of inquiry is focused on developing a comprehensive description and summary of a phenomenon or event?
(79) Researchers often seek to build rapport with participants in their studies. What does rapport mean within the context of qualitative research?
(77) What is one of the greatest challenges of grounded theory research?
(66) Qualitative research is emergent in that the research questions may need to change even after the research has begun.
(67) A variety of considerations for reaching saturation and ultimately determining sample size have been outlined by Janice Morse. Identify and describe three factors that should be considered.
