Qualitative Analysis

Qualitative research intends to search for answers from questions of “how, where, when who and why” with an evaluation to create a concept or refute a present theory. Not like quantitative research which allocates mainly with statistical figures and their statistical understandings under a reductionist, reasonable and rigorously objectives of paradigm, qualitative research shows non numerical data and the phenomenological rationalization, which ties in with individual view- points and subjectivity. Validity is a qualitative research implies “appropriateness” of the tools, processes, and statics. Whether the study questions are effective for the ideal outcomes, the choices of methodology are fitting for answering the research questions, the objects are valid for the methods, the sampling and statics study is correct, and lastly the outcomes and assumptions are applicable for the samples and contexts. Yes, quantitative research and validity are correct assertions. When writing your dissertation, you need to know the difference between quantitative and validity to get your point across, when writing your dissertation.

After reading Leech and Onwuegbuzie (2008), I thought the Qualitative Analysis Compendium diagram on page 589 was very informative. I believe to be an effective and efficient quantitive researcher, you need to use mix method tools.  by understanding the tools used in Leech and Onwuegbuzie (2008,  it will make you become a better scholar and writer, researcher when writing your dissertation.

        Example of a tool from Leech and Onwuegbuzie (2008), Text Mining is a tool unstructured text mining data, extract from important numeric tables from the text mining to make the data contained in the text available to the several data mining (statistical and computer learning) algorithms. Text mining can be sum up a process of "numbering " text. At the minimal level, every texts create in the input documents will be catalogue and analyzed in order to start a table of documents and word.  For example, a matrix of occurrences will have tallied the numbers of stages that each text mining takes place in each word document.
