100
This is a researcher's beliefs about how knowledge is gained.

What is postpositivism?

300
Qualitative research often uses this kind of sampling to find participants who will provide the deepest, richest data to "answer" the research question.
What is purposeful (or purposive) sampling?
300
This strategy for trustworthiness involves the researchers documenting their thoughts, biases, and reflections throughout the study.
What is a reflexivity journal?
400
This tells us how likely it is that a result is "real" and not just due to random chance.
