Report
Three ways in which qualitative and quantitative research differ. Qualitative research can be considered as a collection of methodologies that frequently share fundamental qualities, such as observing research participants in their natural contexts, interpreting occurrences via the meaning attributed to them, and analyzing data with an open mind. In quantitative Research the review of existing knowledge is used to develop well it often allows the researcher to develop research hypotheses as well. There are several ways that qualitative research is different from quantitative research, including technique and procedure, data collecting, and the absence of hypotheses (Yegidis et al., 2018). Which is a good fit for my study and why? How will I ensure my approach is culturally sensitive? My research question is: What are the benefits of social workers in the correctional system? Qualitative research is a good fit for my study because this type of research qualitative research maintain a broad perspective in order to develop a comprehensive understanding of what is being studied, and the study is generally carried out in the setting where the thing naturally exists. I chose this because I wish to capture an experience from the perspectives of those who live it and create meaning from it (Yegardis et al., 2018). Researchers can design a research environment that is sensitive to cultural differences and suitable for the target population by taking these competency criteria into account (Cassado et al., 2012). In an effort to be culturally competent on the matter, I will learn the culture of the prison system. Culturally competent research criteria compel researchers to develop strategies to identify and understand the unique issues faced by a target language population (Casado et al., 2012). I will ensure that my approach is culturally sensitive by understanding the culture of the individuals I will be engaging with. References Yegidis, B. L., Weinbach, R. W., & Myers, L. L. (2018).
