- Option : D
- Explanation : Historical, philosophical and ethnographic
studies are types of qualitative research.
Quantitative studies use numerical data
to help generate theories that can be
generalizable to an entire population of data.
Qualitative studies use different methods
to tell a detailed story about a theory or
phenomenon by providing a thick, rich
description that recreates an event, shares
a story, or describes a culture or setting for
interpretation and meaning.
Historical studies: Requiring systematic collection and evaluation of data to describe, explain, and understand actions or events that occurred sometime in the past.
Philosophical studies: Using reflective procedures and such things as ideas and ideals, meanings, lived experience, values, logical relationships, and reasons to shed light on education practices, counselling practices, recreation, exercise, etc.
Ethnographic studies: Involving researchers to completely immerse themselves in the lives, culture, or situation they are studying.
