Abstract

On validation of practice-based
qualitative research
Erica Baarends & Frits Simon
An analysis of the most used literature
on (practice-based) qualitative
research in the Netherlands shows
that the described criteria for validity
are mainly derived from a quantitative
perspective. As a consequence, the
voice of the researcher dominates in
the research instead of the voice of the
research respondents. It is argued that
in the age of Facebook and considering
the current legitimization crisis of
science, practice-based qualitative
researchers need validation criteria
that respect the polyvocality of the
respondents.
