Women qualify as subjects for ethnographic study.
Ethnographic study: relating to the scientific description of peoples and cultures with their customs, habits, and mutual differences.
I agree with Isaksson's QUALITATIVE study. Qualitative is not quantitative.
Can someone help me with the following questions?
When the purpose statement denotes an attempt to identify phenomena, events, or exercises, he or she is using:
a. clarifying methods
b. quantitative methods
c. ethnographic methods
d. unreliable method
I first selected quantitative method thinking that there was an error and instead of making be qualitative methods the author made and error and since the other do match it was a logical choice. However, I looked at ethnographic and am second guessing myself. Please view following:
:
Gall and colleagues (1996) provided an interesting perspective of ethnographic research and concluded that it is to look at “cultural phenomena from the perspective of an outsider, and then [seek] to understand the phenomenon from the perspective of an insider” (p. 612). The life history approach or biography is one used in ethnography (Tedlock, 2000).
In addition to comparisons and relationships, investigators may be interested in clarifying phenomena or events. This may be achieved, as discussed, through descriptive or some qualitative research methods. Therefore, the purpose statement will be expressed as an attempt to clarify or describe identified phenomena, characteristics, or events. Isaksson and colleagues (2007) conducted a qualitative study with the following purpose statement: “The aim of the current study was to describe how women with spinal cord injuries perceive the importance of social support for participation in occupation” (p. 24). The key term in this purpose statement is describe, which denotes an attempt to identify phenomena, events, or experiences.
