In this way, the “good” question for a systematic review is unanswered but seemingly answerable.

He also advises that roughly three-fourths of thetotal number of participants should share a similar code between them (related to an experience oropinion found in their data) for a “commonality” to be established, such as a category or theme. Butmy own experience has taught me that, in some cases, that unique instance of a code that appears justonce and nowhere else in the data corpus, or a code that appears just two or three times acrossdifferent cases or time periods, may hold important meaning for generating a significant insight inlater analysis.

Researchers from theseparadigms would argue that just because data all converge onthe same conclusion, this does not assure that this specifiedreality is correct.

This approach is often selected because when a researcher maximizes differences at the beginning ofthe study, it increases the likelihood that the findings will reflect differences or different perspectives—anideal in qualitative research.

Research demonstrates that preschool children define play as activitythat is freely chosen and self-directed. Surprisingly, children do notoften define play as being something that is necessarily fun

Our approach to defining play is often based on adultviews of what play looks like, rather than taking the child’s per-spective, and play means different things to different people atdifferent times

t is critical to document the nature ofthose failures, and the attempted revisions, as well as the overall results of the experiment.

To be scientific, the design must allow direct, empirical investigation of an important question, account for the context in which the study is carried out, align with a conceptual framework, reflect careful and thorough reasoning, and disclose results to encourage debate in the scientific community.

require long-term partnerships between research and practice

Since all studies rely on a limited set of observations, a key question is how individual findings generalize to broader populations and settings
