For beginning researchers, it helps to understand a new area of study like qualitative methods by relating the process to something you already know how to do well.
Leigh Ausband (2006) provides advice to novice researchers by relating qualitative methods to one of her long-time hobbies: quilting. Read the article "Qualitative Research and Quilting" attached below.
In a 350-500 word essay (suggested length), address the following:
1) Define the four steps of the qualitative research process. Briefly review the steps in the research process.
2) Analyze what you learned about the qualitative research process by exploring the familiar process of quilting.
Relate this four-step process to one of your own personal hobbies or skills.
3) Discuss which of the three specific qualitative methods discussed in the article, including case studies, ethnography, and grounded theory you are most drawn to and why.
