TL;DR: In this article, the issues of validity in qualitative research have dramatically increased and concern with the validity of qualitative research has become a major concern in the last decade and a half, and validity involved determining the degree to which researchers' claim is supported by their data.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Covid-19 pandemic has raised significant challenges for the higher education community worldwide and a particular challenge has been the urgent and unexpected request for previously face-to-face university courses to be taught online.
Abstract: The Covid-19 pandemic has raised significant challenges for the higher education community worldwide. A particular challenge has been the urgent and unexpected request for previously face-to-face university courses to be taught online. Online teaching and learning imply a certain pedagogical content knowledge (PCK), mainly related to designing and organising for better learning experiences and creating distinctive learning environments, with the help of digital technologies. With this article, we provide some expert insights into this online-learning-related PCK, with the goal of helping non-expert university teachers (i.e. those who have little experience with online learning) to navigate in these challenging times. Our findings point at the design of learning activities with certain characteristics, the combination of three types of presence (social, cognitive and facilitatory) and the need for adapting assessment to the new learning requirements. We end with a reflection on how responding to a crisis (as best we can) may precipitate enhanced teaching and learning practices in the postdigital era.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate the relevance, rigor, and creativity of interpretive research methodologies for the social and human sciences, and discuss how research topics, evidence, and methods intertwine to produce knowledge.
Abstract: This book demonstrates the relevance, rigor, and creativity of interpretive research methodologies for the social and human sciences. The book situates methods questions within the context of broader methodological questions--specifically, the character of social realities and their "know-ability." Exceptionally clear and well-written chapters provide engaging discussions of the methods of accessing, generating, and analyzing social science data, using methods ranging from reflexive historical analysis to critical ethnography. Reflecting on their own research experiences, the contributors offer an inside, applied perspective on how research topics, evidence, and methods intertwine to produce knowledge in the social sciences.

TL;DR: The development of phenomenology as a philosophy originating from the writings of Husserl to its use in phenomenological research and theory development in nursing and the key issues of phenomenological reduction and bracketing are discussed.

TL;DR: Phenomenology is concerned with the study of experience from the perspective of the individual, "bracketing" taken-for-granted assumptions and usual ways of perceiving as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: The purpose of the phenomenological approach is to illuminate the specific, to identify phenomena through how they are perceived by the actors in a situation. In the human sphere this normally translates into gathering ‘deep’ information and perceptions through inductive, qualitative methods such as interviews, discussions and participant observation, and representing it from the perspective of the research participant(s). Phenomenology is concerned with the study of experience from the perspective of the individual, ‘bracketing’ taken-for-granted assumptions and usual ways of perceiving. Epistemologically, phenomenological approaches are based in a paradigm of personal knowledge and subjectivity, and emphasise the importance of personal perspective and interpretation. As such they are powerful for understanding subjective experience, gaining insights into people’s motivations and actions, and cutting through the clutter of taken-for-granted assumptions and conventional wisdom.
