Moving Beyond Templates: A Bricolage Approach to Conducting Trustworthy Qualitative Research
批评滥用方法论模板会降低研究质量,提出方法论拼凑作为替代,通过组合分析动作来定制研究项目,并展示如何构建可信的定性研究。
Although the rising popularity of methodological templates has yielded an increasing interest in qualitative research, we discuss how the misuse of methodological templates can diminish the quality of research. As an alternative, we propose methodological bricolage as an organizing metaphor for how to do qualitative methods, which involves the combining of analytic moves for the purpose of solving a problem or problems tailored to one’s own research project. To develop a methodological bricolage approach, we draw on our own research as well as a broader set of qualitative research articles to illustrate how authors arrange various methodological moves to create an effective arrangement that communicates trustworthiness. We outline the benefits of methodological bricolage and some cautions in using this approach.
