2. Importance of Qualitative Research In educational research, qualitative research is essential in generating tentative explanations and describing events and phenomena. It also helps in understanding local context and studying processes and theories in education.

3. Qualitative research methods are becoming popular in medical and allied health fields nowadays. While it is still debatable how qualitative research can help address clinical questions, there is a wealth of knowledge that can be gained using the data provided by qualitative approaches.

15. We use qualitative research to understand the world which we live in and why things are the way they are. Qualitative research is concerned with the social aspect of our world, explaining social phenomena. A social phenomenon broadly refers to all human behaviors and interactions, from simple conversations among friends to complex political or religious gatherings.

16. We, as researchers, are motivated by simple curiosity to understand simple concepts, fascinating occurrences, social constructs, or societal crises brought about by actors of change. Qualitative research emphasizes the importance of culture and context in understanding what occurs in the society. As such, every qualitative research provides a small window to a specific social phenomenon. Compared to quantitative research that looks for consistency and predictability, qualitative research often attempts to explain the inconsistent and the unpredictable in the study of human nature and society.

17. There are many reasons for doing qualitative research. For one, some people are more oriented and temperamentally suited to doing this type of work because of their preferences and experiences. Some researchers come from disciplines (e.g. anthropology) or have philosophical orientations (e.g. phenomenology) that traditionally make use of qualitative methods.
