Abstract

A qualitative study examines the nature of phenomena and can be used to answer why something is observed (or not observed), assess complex multi-component interventions, and focus on intervention improvement. Qualitative research is designed to explore the human elements of a given topic, while specific qualitative methods examine how individuals see and experience the world. In Qualitative Research Methods in Education, scholars from around the world meet to discuss qualitative research methods in education, their history, current use, adaptations for specific knowledge domains and situations, and the problems they face. This review is focused on the overview, methods of data collection in qualitative research, writing a research question in qualitative research and its significance in medical education.
