In clinical work, counselors approach clients with a set of core assumptions about the practice of counseling-or theoretical orientation-and apply this accordingly throughout the duration of counseling in consideration of various client, setting, and treatment factors. Similar to how counselors rely on a theoretical orientation to guide professional practice, counseling researchers use research traditions to navigate qualitative research design decisions. Moreover, Kline (2008) asserted that selecting a research tradition congruent with one's research orientation and study purpose, and infusing it in all phases of qualitative inquiry, is a criterion for trustworthiness (i.e., coherence). Given its importance in framing the design and maximizing rigor of qualitative inquiry, the purpose of this article is to provide an overview of major qualitative research traditions and illustrate how they are infused into various qualitative research design components.First, it is important to briefly discuss the concept of research paradigm. While the terms research paradigm and research tradition are used often interchangeably in the literature, we conceptualize them as interdependent and essential components of the counseling researcher's orientation for qualitative inquiry. Hays and Singh (2011) noted that research paradigms are belief systems based on core philosophies of science (i.e., ontology, epistemology, axiology, rhetoric, and methodology), and research traditions are methodological approaches and design strategies that are influenced by paradigms. Collectively, they serve as a foundational guide or blueprint that highlights the counseling researcher's assumptions, values, and activities related to the scientific pursuit for a particular research topic.Common research paradigms include positivism, postpositivism, social constructivism, critical theory, feminism, and queer theory. Scholars operating under each paradigm attribute differential value to the nature of reality or truth of a phenomenon (ontology), knowledge construction (epistemology), infusion of researcher values in design and attention to the research relationship (axiology), role of researcher and participant voice in research process and data presentation Infusing Qualitative Traditions in Counseling Research Designs Danica G. Hays and Chris WoodResearch traditions serve as a blueprint or guide for a variety of design decisions throughout qualitative inquiry. This article presents 6 qualitative research traditions: grounded theory, phenomenology, consensual qualitative research, ethnography, narratology, and participatory action research. For each tradition, the authors describe its purpose and key characteristics, outline commonly associated fieldwork activities, describe analytic approaches within the tradition, and then discuss strengths and challenges of the approach.(rhetoric), and considerations for scientific rigor (methodology). As attention to qualitative approaches increased across a variety of disciplines, the notion that scientific inquir...

“…In addition to these strategies for enhancing the trustworthiness and quality of phenomenographic research, there are also some important general writing strategies for attaining rigour in qualitative research on guidance and counselling (e.g., Kline, 2008). …”

Jaana Kettunen is a researcher at the Finnish Institute for Educational Research of the University of Jyväskylä. Her research focuses on social media in career services. Recently she has also studied the ethical practice in social networking and the role of ICT in relation to national lifelong guidance policies. Päivi Tynjälä Applying Phenomenography in Guidance and Counselling ResearchThis paper examines phenomenography as a viable qualitative approach in guidance and counselling research. A phenomenographic study maps the qualitatively different ways in which people experience a specific phenomenon and helps researchers to describe the aspects that make one way of experiencing a certain phenomenon qualitatively distinct from another. This paper presents an overview of phenomenographic research, encompassing theoretical, methodological and practical considerations. The application of this approach in guidance and counselling studies is illustrated with examples.

“…Introduced by Lincoln and Guba (1985), the concept of trustworthiness and its mechanisms of credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability were created for qualitative research to take the place of the quantitative concepts of reliability and validity (Kline, 2008). Credibility for this research was established through member checks and peer debriefing.…”
