The Quality of Qualitative Research. Part 2 of 3 on Research Quality and the Research Process

A lecture on the quality of research and the research process taken from a series on research methods and research design given to masters (graduate) students by Graham R Gibbs at the University of Huddersfield. This is part 2 of three, and deals with adapting the ideas of reliability, validity, generalizability to the field of qualitative research.

He basically summarized the work of Guba & Lincoln (1994) in very smart way. I liked it so far and it is the first video I saw for him.

In qualitative research, reliability is not a concern because you don't aim to generalise rather to use the case you are studying to, for example, add your theoretical contribution. So it is theoretically based, not statistically. However, qual. researchers my claim transferability. 
I think there is no equivalent notion in qual. for quan.'s notion of 'objectivity'. In this respect, what matters in qual. is that researches should maintain reflexivity.
