Topic 2 DQ 2
The three types of qualitative research designs are phenomenological, grounded theory, and ethnographic research. Compare the differences and similarities between two of the three types of qualitative studies and give an example of each.
The two qualitative research designs that I’m going to compare are ethnographic and phenomenological research.
Ethnographic is a method that is used to examine a deeper look into cultural behaviors. It’s research that observe people in their natural element and what is their norm. By observing people behavior in a close or open area, the study may be different. For instance, if you are at a park and observing someone without them knowing they will act as natural as possible this is considered open, but on the other hand if you are in a close environment and observing someone they then tend to act unnaturally because they know that someone is observing them. This type of research is also done through interviews and entered a data base.
Phenomenological is a method that the researchers use to gain a deeper look into someone’s life. Researcher clarifies the relationship between lived experiences and the theories used to explain those experience. (H, 2022) Example: researcher looking into the life of a family who has a child with Autism. They observe the complexity of their life, how having a child with autism effect their life, and the unique experience of parenting a child with autism receiving early intervention.
Both ethnographic and phenomenological both observe other people lives and behaviors. The research is both done by interviews and is placed into the data base. The only difference is that ethnographic research is also done by observing individuals without knowing versus phenomenological is consented by the individuals that are being interviewed.

Hello Krishna!
I agree with your posting! Nice and to the point! Ethnography also has a focus on a collection of people in a cultural point of view, and phenomenology is focused on one phenomena, which may have several people in considering the one phenomena but ethnography is about the group belief or lifestyle. Also, in phenomenology, interviews are the main method of data collection whereas ethnography can collect data through interviews, observations, and document analysis.
