Abstract

The purposes of this paper were to provide the basic segments of qualitative research to assist the understanding of qualitative research and to provide implications of indicators (i.e., criteria) to determine the rigor of the qualitative research in the area of Adapted Physical Education (APE). This paper was divided into five sub-categories to facilitate understanding the qualitative research, which were (a) the epistemological stances, (b) the data collection methods (c) the data analysis (d) the trustworthiness and (e) the implications of Adapted Physical Activity Taxonomy (APAT) in APE. Qualitative researchers deliver their understanding of human experience and knowledge by means of text rather than number so their explanations and understanding tend be subjective and distinct from otherwise interpretaotherwise (Crotty, 1998; Pitney& Parker, 2009). Examining the rigor of qualitative research is therefore concerned due to the complexity of understanding of reality (Goodwin 2020; Zitomer & Goodwin, 2014). In the meantime the roles of qualitative research have been highlighted in educational research including the area of APE because qualitative research enables researchers to examine different voices of school members (e.g., students with and without disabilities parents teachers Goodwin, 2020; Hodge et al., 2019; Zitomer & Goodwin, 2014).

본 연구는 질적 연구를 시작하는 초보 연구자들을 위해 질적 연구의 기본적인 배경 학적 이론과 방법의 틀을 제시하고, 특수체육에서 질적 연구의 질을 평가하는 기준을 제시하는 데 있다. 첫째, 질적 연구의 기본이 되는 인식론의 이해를 설명하였다. 둘째, 질적 연구에서 가장 많이 활용되는 자료 수집 방법론을 제시하였다. 셋째, 질적 연구에서 자료 분석 방법과 타당성 확보의 근거를 제시하였다. 마지막으로, 특수체육 영역에서 활용되는 질적 연구 질의 평가 기준을 제시하였다. 국 내외 특수체육 분야에서 질적 연구의 숫자는 계속 늘어나고 있고 그 중요성 또한 계속 강조되고 있다. 질적 연구는 연구자들이 참여자들을 관찰, 이해, 분석 그리고 해석하는 과정을 요구하기 때문에 연구자의 역할은 대단히 중요하다. 따라서, 질적 연구를 처음 시작하는 연구자들은 질적 연구의 본질적인 이해와 연구 방법론의 습득이 요구된다. 또한, 지속적인 질적 연구의 질의 평가로 좀 더 깊이 있는 질적 연구의 결과물이 특수체육 분야에 적용돼야 할 것이다.
