1)What reaction did you have to the idea that there is no clear definition of Qualitative Research?
2)Do you agree or disagree that qualitative and quantitative are coupled? Are the boundaries “becoming blurred” (Aspers and Corte, 2019:146)?
3)Choose one defining characteristic of the four coded categories, i.e., 1) New Distinctions, 2) Process, 3) Closeness, or 4) Improved Understanding. Were there any holes or gaps for that specific characteristic?
4)Discuss the two criteria for qualitative research (Aspers and Corte, 2019:155). How might these two criteria inform your research as a professional sociologist?
5)How do the results of this study provide a greater relationship between Qualitative and Quantitative research?
6)What new knowledge or understanding of prior knowledge did you obtain from the reading that may influence your own sociological practice?
