Meaning is constructed by each individual, and that meaning is a valid way to describe the world. The meaning is negotiated between the researcher and the participants. - the data comes from the words of the participants as they describe that [[Making Meaning]] process - the methodological evaluation of the data uses inductive reasoning and [[emergence]] to create new knowledge - The researcher brings their own point of view ![[CleanShot 2022-08-02 at 20.08.46.jpg]]![[CleanShot 2022-08-02 at 20.22.28.jpg]]![[CleanShot 2022-08-02 at 20.23.13.jpg]] ## Designing a qualitative study ### Choosing a qualitative approach ![[CleanShot 2022-08-02 at 19.55.41.jpg]] ### Introducing and focusing on the study Essentials of [[phenomenological research]] ### Data collection ### Data analysis and representation ### Writing ### Standards of validation ### Turning the story ## Source: Creswell, J.
