In qualitative research, theory exists in various forms including theory underpinning research ontology and epistemology (Creswell, 2013); theory guiding the selection of research methodology and methods (Glesne, 2016); theory as a product of qualitative research (Kelly, 2010) and theory as a guiding framework for qualitative studies (Anfara ...

Qualitative research methodologies are the specified philosophical and theoretical frameworks applied in a systematic inquiry into social phenomena in a natural setting (Creswell & Poth, 2018).The most widely used qualitative research methodologies are grounded theory and phenomenology (Gelling, 2011; Goulding, 2005; Padgett, 2017; Strandmark, 2015).

As discussed in Chapter 3, qualitative research is not an absolute science. While not all research may need a framework or theory (particularly descriptive studies, outlined in Chapter 5), the use of a framework or theory can help to position the research questions, research processes and conclusions and implications within the relevant research paradigm.

Various researchers employing either qualitative or quantitative researches should better understand the different competing research paradigms and its philosophical underpinnings in relation to ...

The document discusses the philosophical and theoretical underpinnings of qualitative research. It covers topics such as the distinguishing features of ontology and epistemology in qualitative research, the logics employed, issues of generalizability and positionality, and how theory and philosophy are applied in qualitative methodologies and methods.

There are two ways in which qualitative researchers think about using theory: (1) as a way of theorizing the project or study as a whole; the general theoretical lens through which the researcher approaches the topic, study and study design, methodology and method; and (2) as a way of analyzing and interpreting the data, pulling it together ...
