Using Perspective in Qualitative Inquiry | |||
| Learning Objective #1: Understand the nature of perspective and bias supporting the principles of qualitative inquiry | |||
| Learning Objective #2: Identify theoretical issues related to perspective and bias and identify methodological strategies that maximize effectiveness and rigor in qualitative design | |||
| Issues regarding perspective are a source of methodological and theoretical debate in qualitative inquiry. However, emerging research designs, sampling and data collection strategies are making these issues of primary importance for conducting excellent qualitative inquiry. The purpose of this symposium is to present emerging issues of perspective and bias and discuss the methodological implications of these concepts in the design and conduct of qualitative inquiry. The first paper will present the necessity and use of bias in qualitative research. The second paper will address perspective as it occurs in observational and experiential data as well as different populations sampled in order to understand the essence of a particular concept. The third paper will describe a unique sampling strategy for concept clarification. This design involves identifying and encapsulating data from different groups with distinct characteristics. These data sets are then compared and contrasted to decontextualize the concept. | |||
