    Qualitative Research:Literature Review

    Less substantial role at the beginning of the study than

    quantitative research

    Although the literature is reviewed to justify the need to studythe research problem , the literature does not provide major

    direction for the research questions

    Relies more on the views of participants in the study and lesson the direction identified in the literature by the researcher.
