In this article, firstly, basic research paradigms and quantitative research will be briefly mentioned, then qualitative research, which have been widely utilized in academia and relevant sectors, will be detailed. In addition, the relationship between qualitative research and critical and analytical thinking, and finally reflexivity that is one of the distinguishing aspects of qualitative research will be explained. The information on what kind of reasons and methods will be used when undertaken qualitative research, and also information on reliability and validity will be provided. Researchers aim to balance their biases by focusing on their own thinking and by providing historical and contextual dimensions to their chosen topic. Therefore, reflexivity establishes one of most important indications towards the quality of qualitative research. Qualitative research facilitates further exploration of the data obtained. Therefore, for the decision holders and policy makers to be able to apply the results of research to their decisions and implementations, researchers must balance their subjective tendencies through all possible objective means, and they should be able to systematically reflect these processes on their reports. So, this would mean that researchers would need extended intellectual and research skills.

Bu makalede öncelikle temel araştırma paradigmaları ve nicel kantitatif araştırmalardan kısaca bahsedilecek, sonra akademik alanda ve ilgili sektörlerde kullanımı yaygınlaşan nitel araştırmalar ayrıntılı bir şekilde incelenecektir. Ek olarak, nitel araştırmaların eleştirel ve analitik düşünmeyle olan ilişkisi ve son olaraknitel araştırmaların ayırdedici özelliklerinden birisi olan düşünümsellik detaylandırılacaktır. Nitel araştırmaların hangi mantık ve yöntemlerle yürütüleceğine dair kılavuz bilgiler, güvenirlik ve geçerlik ayrıntılarıyla verilecektir. Araştırmacılar, potansiyel önyargılarını dikkatlerini kendilerine yönelterek ve araştırma konularına tarihsel ve bağlamsal bir boyut kazandırarak dengelenmeye çalışır. Bu anlamda Düşünümsellik nitel araştırmaların en önemli kalite göstergelerinden birisini oluşturur. Nitel araştırmalar, elde edilen verilerin derinlemesine ve geniş açılardan analiz edilmelerine olanak sağlar. Dolayısıyla karar vericilerin ve politika yapıcıların ilgili araştırma sonuçlarını, alacakları kararlara ve uygulamalara yansıtabilmeleri için araştırmacıların subjektif eğilimlerini mümkün olan objektif yollarla dengelemeleri ve bu süreci çalışma raporlarına sistematik bir şekilde yansıtabilmeleri gerekir. Bu da araştırmacıların genişletilmiş entellektüel ve araştırma becerilerine ihtiyaçları olduğunu göstermektedir.
