Abstract

Qualitative research is becoming increasingly popular in educational research. It seeks to discover a deeper understanding of how individuals derive meaning from their experiences. The world of qualitative research revolves around a quest to uncover the unknown; however, this should not be found in the method of inquiry. This session will present and provide an opportunity to discuss the common issues encountered when a quantitative researcher conducts qualitative research for the first time.
