1. Introduction
Qualitative research methods hold a special significance for social science research agendas, especially as disciplinary as well as non-disciplinary pursuits
within the rubric of the social sciences prioritize aspects
of relevance, as much as they accord a priority to
rigour. The latter are more commonly studied by way of numerical measurement and test causal hypothesis; and claim that the results are replicable.
In contrast, qualitative research methods use a wide range of approaches—none involve numerical measurement.
While they cover in-depth a small number of cases, they unearth what s referred to as “thick
descriptions”, and “experience proximate concepts”. They have a special significance in understanding
how social policy works, what must be its appropriate normative content, as also to interrogate
quantitative findings on outcomes or impact.
Informed by a wide range of methodological approaches, qualitative research methods are uniquely suited to explore, analyze, and generate theoretical reflections on a number of key aspects of social policy. While quantitative research methods test specific relationships or the validity of a hypothesis, qualitative methods are at an advantage in terms of the relevance. Designed to explore the human elements of a given social phenomena, qualitative methods examine how individuals see and experience the world. Qualitative approaches are typically used to explore new phenomena and to capture individuals’ thoughts, feelings, or interpretations of meaning and process. Such methods are central to research conducted in the humanities, social sciences, and health sciences, and education.
