Quando tradicional e o inovador se encontram: aspectos de uma pesquisa qualitativa

Abstract

Introduction Qualitative research has emerged to enhance the study within methodological sciences, seeking a detailed and subjective depth into individual views of the research object. With the information revolution, these types of research have also been influenced, making it possible to use virtual tools for analysis. With the SARS-COV-2 pandemic and the adoption of lockdowns, tools such as Google Meet, Zoom and CAQDAS have become prominent. It has been observed that with the adoption of these tools, there is a greater richness, as well as a more in-depth and complete understanding of the theme being studied, making their study crucial; GoalsTo reflect on the applications of traditional and virtual methodologies in qualitative research. Methods:This is a qualitative study based on a research-action thesis that, through the use of traditional methodological resources such as literature, music, meetings and lectures, as well as innovative resources such as virtual environments, video summaries and CAQDAS, sought to promote a boost in reflective analyses -both online and in-person -among the participating groups regarding a collective conflict;ResultsIt was seen that the integration of traditional methods with virtual tools facilitated the reach of more participants, in addition to supporting their communication and invitation, and also assisted in the collection and processing of data obtained during the debates.Furthermore, it was observed that there was no subjective deficit in the plurality of speeches and themes, which were later transcribed and analyzed with the use of these tools, increasing the precision of the data; Final considerations The integration between virtual and in-person modalities proves to be advantageous in enriching faster and geographically unlimited debates, while still presenting a plural and dialectical character, in addition to being more efficient in collecting and registering data for analysis and discussions.
