From the Paper:

"Another positive point about including a qualitative pattern of study in the research is that it includes numerous choices of questioning for the applicant counting cultural studies, psychoanalytic, case study, deconstructionist, phenomenological, ethnographic, feminist and hermeneutical. Mainly, in qualitative research, the examiners utilize the facility of interviews and general observations for the data collection using various instruments like papers, pens, video or voice recorders, etc. They then assess and decipher data they have collected by using different tools."
