Trustworthiness ≠ Rigor

Start at the Start

Don't start at the end.

strategies for ensuring rigor in the qualitative research process:

  • methodological coherence : question must match the method
  • sample must be appropriate: participants who best represent or have knowledge of the research topic
  • collecting and analyzing data concurrently: pacing and the iterative interaction between data and analysis
  • thinking theoretically: inching forward without making cognitive leaps, constantly checking and rechecking,
  • theory development: see next

THEORY DEVELOPMENT through two mechanisms:
(1) as an outcome of the research process, rather than being adopted as a framework to move the analysis along; and
(2) as a template for comparison and further development of the theory.

We are concerned that in order for projects to be manageable within the constraints of student time-frames, abilities and budgets, rigor is seriously undermined by the narrow delimiting of the topics. (15)

Of course, adequate mentoring of graduate students and new researchers by experienced qualitative investigators is critical for learning to think qualitatively and for verifying emerging ideas.
