In qualitative research, the methods typically used include small group settings (e.g., focus groups), general observations, and one-on-one interviews.
However, surveys are generally considered a quantitative research method, especially when they use structured questionnaires with closed-ended questions designed to gather statistical data. While there can be qualitative surveys (for instance, open-ended questions), traditional surveys are not primarily associated with qualitative research.
Thus, the method not used in qualitative research would be surveys.
