Similarities And Differences

The issues surrounding the use and nature of the term 'validity' in qualitative research are controversial and many. In this paper, the author attempts to establish that 'validity' is not a single, fixed or universal concept, but rather a contingent construct, inescapably grounded in the processes and intentions of particular research methodologies and projects. The first section of this work deals with the problems faced in defining 'validity' in both quantitative and qualitative research methods and will briefly review other authors' attempts to categorise it. The work will then proceed to distinguish and compare the claims to 'validity' made by quantitative and qualitative researchers, highlighting similarities and differences as they emerge. Finally, an attempt will be made to establish that an understanding of nature of 'truth' is central to any theorisation of 'validity.' It will become clear that it is the affiliations of methodologies, concerning truth, that generate varying notions of 'validity.'

Social work students are drawn to qualitative research methods, perhaps because of their experience with interviewing and their interest in process. However, since students need to learn both qualitative and quantitative research methods because both are used in the literature, instructors are challenged to teach both types of methods in one course. The purpose of this article is to illustrate one method used to teach qualitative research methods to undergraduate social work students. The model presents a narrative analysis and moves students from raw data to an analytical model.

Attitudes Towards Science

“If I had realised you were interviewing me about science, I probably wouldn’t have agreed to do it” – this quote from an interviewee raises one of the key methodological issues facing researchers in the field of religion and science. The perception that one ought to be an ‘expert’ in science before one can be interviewed on the topic makes the recruitment of participants in qualitative and quantitative research particularly problematic. However, it does tell us something important about the way people understand ‘science’ and the increasing pressure on church leaders to be held accountable for anything they say in the public domain. In this chapter, Raid reflect on her experiences as a sociologist carrying out research on clergy attitudes towards science using both quantitative and qualitative research methods. She discusses the implications of having self-selecting interviewees as well as the challenges in creating a survey that accurately reflects the respondents’ views. Moreover, she outlines some of the key findings from the research and how some of these are intertwined with the aforementioned methodological issues.
