摘要:This paper provides a sociologists' reflection of a sociologist on qualitative
field research. Reflections will include some methodological and epistemological
considerations that are connected with field work, while building the realness
of the description and conclusions, i.e. constructing the quality of qualitative
research. The intellectual process of doing research will be characterized by
analysis of: description of investigated reality (tales of the field);
analytical process; usage of commonsense research procedures (so called
triangulation procedures), which are used in the field by the researcher and
during analysis or writing a research report to adequately "re - present"
researched reality. The three above mentioned stages of representation of
reality are interwoven to create one complex intellectual process, which is
called "field research". The quality of qualitative research is the intellectual
process where some procedures are used to create the accountability of research
conclusions.
