A Qualitative Study Teaching Guide

This teaching guide for qualitative research offers a methodological approach to qualitative studies with ethnographic and phenomenological approaches. Mary Sibande explores the social, cultural and economic themes associated with experiences of maternal death orphans and their guardians to understand their influences. She uses a cyclical approach to qualitative research which allows the researcher to identify issues from the perspective of the study group to understand the meaning and interpretations they give to behaviours in a deductive way.
