The Qualitative Research Quilt: Reflections on Process, Paradigm, and Practice

• In Event: Poster Session 7
  In Poster Session: Division D Section 3 Qualitative Research Poster Session

Abstract

It is vitally important that we, as both researchers and educators, take the time for reflection. The purpose of this poster is to share a reflection on the process, paradigm, and practice of qualitative research, incorporating the unusual format of a quilt. The main objective is to engage other researchers in informal discussion and reflection on their own experience of qualitative research. What we chose to study, how we chose to conduct our research, and how it is reported all affect the world around us. It is also imperative that we consider how our research can be put into practice to “serve the greater good.”
