Type of Qualitative Method:

Different  qualitative methods are suitable for different  types of study. Quite often we can  combine  qualitative and quantitative  methods. Many scholars claim that the two  approaches are complementary and cannot be used  in isolation from each other. According  to this  view no method is  entirely  qualitative or quantitative. However the  techniques  can be either quantitative or qualitative. Figure below illustrates this points further.

As we can  see in figure the methods  from left to right  become more  quantitative and  use more quantitative  techniques. Historical review group discussions and case studies are mostly qualitative  research methods. These  qualitative methods use relatively more  qualitative techniques  such as conversation and  in depth semi structured interviews.
