Discussion
Which of the following is not normally included in a written account of qualitative research ?
Answer: D
The item not normally included is a decision to accept or reject hypothesis.
Qualitative research is usually exploratory and inductive: it seeks to understand meanings and processes, and theory and concepts emerge from the data. It does not usually begin with a hypothesis to be statistically tested, so a report of qualitative research does not end in a decision to accept or reject one. That is the logic of quantitative, hypothesis-testing research.
A qualitative report does normally include an introduction placing the research in its theoretical context, an account of the study's design, and a discussion of the findings in relation to the research questions.
