Abstracts

PL

Jednym z dylematów badań jakościowych jest uzyskanie odpowiedniego poziomu nasycenia danych i zmniejszenie czasochłonności związanej z procesem ich gromadzenia. Celem artykułu jest próba odpowiedzi na pytanie: w jakim stopniu należy moderować wywiad pogłębiony, mając na uwadze zachowanie odpowiedniego poziomu saturacji oraz czasochłonność związaną z analizą wielu wątków? Zastosowane metody badawcze obejmują: przegląd literatury oraz analizę raportów z badań jakościowych prowadzonych przez autora w ramach przygotowywania rozprawy doktorskiej. Artykuł może się przyczynić do usprawnienia procesu gromadzenia wysokiej jakości danych, a także mieć wkład w kształtowanie aspektów metodycznych badań jakościowych.

A dilemma for qualitative research is to achieve adequate data saturation and to reduce the time required for data collection. The aim of the article is to provide an answer to the question: to what extent should an in-depth interview be moderated in order to ensure an adequate level of saturation and time required for the analysis of several topics? The research methods include a literature analysis and an analysis of the author's dissertation research reports. The article may help to improve the collection of high-quality data during in-depth interviews and to contribute to developing the methodological aspects of qualitative research.
