The purpose of this study is to develop an approach to teaching qualitative research methods (TQRM) for Library and Information Science. To draw trend of TQRM, 76 course syllabi collected in the research oriented universities' master and doctoral programs, were analyzed using content analysis. The study proposes both common topics and essential strategies for TQRM in terms of the paradigm of qualitative research, research design, wide range of approaches to QR, diversity of collecting and analyzing data, writing, and evaluation criteria. It is very important to identify qualitative stance and to understand paradigms and philosophical and theoretical frameworks of QR for conducting QR reiteratively, creatively, reflectively.

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).

질적인 측면을 충분히 감안하지 못한 양적 성과분석은 연구개발 과제의 성과를 제대로 반영하지 못하는 문제점을 안고 있다. 따라서 양적 성과와 질적 성과를 함께 종합적으로 고려할 수 있는 종합적인 성과분석지수를 개발할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 주성분 분석과 동일 가중치를 부여하는 방식을 이용하여, 특허 출원 건수, SCI 게재논문 건수, 기술이전 건수라는 3가지 양적 성과지표와 이에 대응되는 특허 심사청구 항수, 논문게재 학술지의 IT, 총 연구비 대비기술료 비중의 3가지 질적 성과지표를 성과지표로 고려하면서 성과분석지수를 개발하고자 하였다. 주성분 분석의 적용 결과 특허 출원 건수(0.2160), SCI 논문게재 건수(0.1510), 기술이전 건수(0.1564), 특허 심사청구 항수(0.2257), 논문게재 학술지의 IF(0.2218), 기술료 비중(0.0291)의 가중치를 얻을 수 있었다. 이 6가지 평가지표는 종합평가지수라는 하나의 틀로 결합되어 개별 과제의 성과를 평가하는 데 활용될 수 있다. 더 나아가 양적 성과지표와 질적 성과지표로 구분하여 평가할 수 있다. 가중치 결정 방법에 따라 평가결과가 크게 달라지지는 않았지만, 가중치 결정 방법과 상관없이 양적 성과지표 평가결과와 질적 성과지표 평가결과는 크게 달랐다. 한 가지 흥미로운 점은 과제평가등급과의 상관관계를 따져보았더니 질적 성과지표와 과제등급과의 상관관계가 양적 성과지표와 과제등급과의 상관관계보다 더 크다는 것이다. 따라서 성과분석에 있어서 질적 성과지표를 반영한 질적 성과분석이 반드시 수행될 필요가 있다. 앞으로 특허 인용도 등 보다 다양한 질적 변수를 확보하여 성과분석지수를 보완할 필요가 있을 것이다.

Qualitative research has become a growing area of interest among the Korean educational researchers for the last two decades. As a consequence, the number of studies based on qualitative methods has rapidly increased while the quality of qualitative research has not gained much credit among scholars in Korea. This study explores to current practice of qualitative approaches in mathematics education-related studies. With this in mind, this study also seeks ways to improve the validity and trustworthiness of qualitative approaches, and to present implications for the practical practice of qualitative approaches in mathematics education. To this end, a general trend was investigated by conducting a basic analysis of 13 papers that used qualitative approaches and published in Communications of Mathematical Education from 2019 to 2020. Of the 13 papers. Through the basic analysis, 6 out of 13 papers were selected as the object of qualitative text analysis. The result of this qualitative text analysis discusses issues related to the validity and trustworthiness of qualitative research in a detailed manner. In conclusion, based on the results of this qualitative text analysis, this study suggests several key points to keep in mind when applying qualitative approaches in the field of mathematics education in the future.

The purpose of this research is to study the meanings and characteristics of qualitative research method in LIS. As the philosophy and epistemology of qualitative research are widely different from those of quantitative research, the meaning of validity and reliability must be interpreted in its ow9 structure and dimension. Essentially qualitative researchers seek to understand and interpret the world of others from their own viewpoints which basically tend to be subjective. Accordingly, qualitative researchers‘ understandings and interpretations are met with readers' subjectivity. By carefully analyzing the nature of qualitative research in LIS, I tried to point out some problems in terms of validity and reliability and practical strategies. Six problems issued in the qualitative research method are presented.

This qualitative study investigates how qualitative research methods are applied into educational journals, especially focusing on research articles in the field of mathematics education. Since the mid 90s, there has been growing interest in qualitative research in Korea. As a result, qualitative research methods are becoming one of the main research methods in education, quite different from before the mid 90s that quantitative research methods themselves alone were undispute d research methods. However, such change in research methods also lead to a matter of concern, the rigor and quality of qualitative research. In order to identify how qualitative research methods are applied, this study carefully selects an d analyzes 5 article that used qualitative methods and were published by Education of Primary School Mathematics Journal in 2012. Several leading scholars' ideas and theories of qualitative research are used in the analytical process, with careful attention paid to every detailed element of 5 selected articles. In sum, this study concludes with practical implications for qualitative researchers and discusses future directions for improving qualitative research practice.

교육학의 질적 연구는 문헌 연구, 면담 연구, 비참여 관찰 연구, 참여 관찰 연구로 분류한다. 문헌연구에는 내용분석, 철학적 연구, 역사학적 연구, 문학적 비평이 들어가고, 면담연구에는 구술사, 전기, 탐문(探問) 저널리즘 등이 포함되고, 비참여 관찰연구에는 전문적 감정(鑑定), 인간의 종적 특성 연구, 관찰자 연구, 비개입적 행동 연구 등이 포함된다. 마지막으로 참여 관찰연구는 일반적 현장연구, 문화 기술적 연구가 포함된다. 질적 연구는 사람, 사물, 현상의 범주화나 수량화가 가해지기 이전의 상태, 즉 '있는 그대로'의 상태에 최대한 접근하는 방법으로써, 고정관념을 깨고 기존의 이론을 최대한 유보한 채 연구에 임하는 것으로 최근에 발달한 인문사회과학적 연구방법이다. 질적 인식이 자연언어에 주로 의존하는 데 비해 양적 인식은 인공언어에 많이 의존한다. 수식과 도형, 부호등은 대표적인 인공언어이다. 모든 사물이 질과 양의 속성을 다 가지고 있듯이 모든 연구는 질적 과정과 양적 과정을 다 포함하고 있다. 질적이냐, 양적이냐 하는 구분은 연구방법론의 문제인데 연구방법론은 연구논리와 연구기법을 포함한다. 본 연구는 인공언어인 수와 식에만 익숙한 수학교육에서, 질적 연구가 왜 필요한지, 어떤 특성이 있는지 논의함으로써 수학교육의 새로운 방법론을 제시하고자 한다.

수학교육학 분야에서는 학생들이 수학적 활동을 해나갈 때 학생들의 머리 속에서 어떠한 작용이 어떻게 일어나고 있는가에 대해 지대한 관심을 갖는다. 특히 급변하는 사회에서 개인차가 다양한 구성원을 대상으로 이들이 어떻게 수학을 습득해 나아가는가를 연구를 하고자 할 때 기존의 양적 연구 방법으로는 그들의 활동을 기술하는데 한계가 있어 그 대안으로 효과적으로 사용되는 방법이 질적 연구 방법이다. 주로 연구자의 관점에서 기술되는 질적 연구를 수행하다 보면 그 과정에서 연구자의 자세는 매우 중요한 위치를 차지한다. 따라서 사전에 질적 연구가 가지고 있는 특성과 요소들을 잘 인식하고 연구자의 독자적인(편견된) 관점을 최대한 배제하는 것이 질적 연구의 성패를 좌우한다. 본 논문은 질적 연구를 하는 연구자가 행하는 바람직한 방법과 자세를 질문과 몇 가지 예시들을 통해 알아봄으로써 질적 연구가 연구방법으로써 보다 더 잘 정착될 수 있길 기대한다.

As a background for qualitative research, the concept of bricolage is very common in the North America. As a movement of art area, because, it has characteristics of criticality and existence which is very close to the definitions of qualitative research. However, regardless of recent rapid wide-spread of qualitative research with the world trend of research methodology, it is very unusual that scholars are rarely discussing on the concept of bricolage in South Korea. In literature review, scholars conceptualize bricolage in literature, art, and so on except qualitative research field. Thus, I realize that it is necessary to discuss the concept of bricolage in qualitative research. Through it, scholars will understand more about the definition of qualitative research. Accordingly, I try to prove the thesis 'qualitative research is bricolage' in this article. In conclusion, scholars commonly define qualitative research to involve the meanings of 'reflection', 'understanding', 'deconstruction', and 'reconstruction' and illustrate also the concepts of bricolage in a praxis of interpretation and understanding with getting together of rigorousness, complexity, and criticality. I realize that these notions are very close to each other in this study.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the important characteristics of the qualitative research methods and to analyze application of these methods in the field of family therapy. First, general characteristics of qualitative research methods and typical features of qualitative research designs are described. Second, contents related with meanings, adequacy, and application process of qualitative research methods in the field of family therapy are discussed. Third, cardinal issues that could hinder the development of qualitative family therapy research are reviewed. Qualitative research methods provide a scientific and systematic way of looking at family therapy holistically. These methods may add new dimensions to qualitative research in the field of family therapy and thus increase its diversity. The versatility of qualitative research methods is a good match for examining the complexity and the diversity of family forms and experience. Therefore, qualitative research methods has the potential to advance the science and practice of family therapy and that family therapy researchers have the potential to advance qualitative research methods. Implications for the development of qualitative research methods in the field of family therapy in Korea are suggested.
