As someone who has been engaged in research for quite some time now, I have come to understand that my learning process in research is never-ending, and this is exciting. Being primarily involved in quantitative research, I recently challenged myself to start learning qualitative methods. It all began with the question of how I could answer some of my research questions in a way that would provide deeper insights beyond mere numbers.
And here I am, learning qualitative methods from colleagues, books, and other resources, feeling like a PhD student again, and enjoying the experience, despite the challenges. I am very excited to see how this process will evolve in the future and whether I will become primarily focused on qualitative methods.
