The methodology I used for my research is qualitative in the following ways: - smaller, but focused, samples - purposive sampling (cases are chosen based on the way that they typify or do not typify certain characteristics or participate in a certain class) - methods: 1) participation in the setting 2) direct observation 3) in depth interviews 4) analysis of documents an materials - focus groups and key informants - coding data - exploratory (hypothesis generating) - investigates why and how (rather than what, where, and when) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualitative_research It also seems that the Case Study approach is very related to what I have used http://coe.sdsu.edu/eet/articles/methodsofinq/index.htm (see the tree diagram)
