ABSTRACT

As we stated earlier, every research study presents results. In this chapter, we will look at the kinds of results we might expect to find in qualitative research articles.

Overall, there are four basic qualitative designsdiscovering meaning, investigating, seeking illumination, and participating to right some imbalance or social wrong. All of these designs are linked to research questions in some way, and all of them seek to answer or clarify those questions. It is in this context that we can talk about qualitative research results and findings.
