It deals with non-numerical data\u2014words, observations, stories, and interpretations. The researcher becomes part of the research instrument and seeks to explore the depth and complexity of human behavior. It is flexible, exploratory, and ideal for studying phenomena where numbers cannot capture the richness of meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Point-wise Notes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Based on <strong>textual\/visual data<\/strong> (interviews, focus groups, observations).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Aims to capture <strong>meanings, experiences, emotions, motivations<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Uses <strong>thematic analysis, coding, content analysis<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>More <strong>exploratory and interpretative<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Not concerned with generalization; focuses on <strong>contextual understanding<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A.
