Qualitative research is a type of research that aims to gather and analyse non-numerical (descriptive) data in order to gain an understanding of individuals' social reality,including understanding their attitudes,beliefs,and motivation. This type of research typically involves in-depth interviews,focus groups,or field observations in order to collect data that is rich in detail and context. Qualitative research is often used to explore complex phenomena or to gain insight into people's experiences and perspectives on a particular topic. It is particularly useful when researchers want to understand the meaning that people attach to their experiences or when they want to uncover the underlying reasons for people's behavior. Qualitative methods include ethnography,grounded theory,discourse analysis,and interpretative phenomenological analysis. Qualitative research methods have been used in sociology,anthropology,political science,psychology,communication studies,social work,folklore,educational research,information science and software engineering research.

The "argumentative turn" refers to a group of different approaches in policy analysis and planning that emphasize the increased relevance of argumentation,language and presentation in policy making. Inspired by the "linguistic turn" in the field of humanities,it was developed as an alternative to the epistemological limitations of "neo-positivist" policy analysis and its underlying technocratic understanding of the decision-making process. The argumentative approach systematically integrates empirical and normative questions into a methodological whole oriented towards the analysis of policy deliberation. It is sensitive to the immediate and the many kinds of knowledge practices involved in each phase of the policy process,bringing attention to different forms of argumentation,persuasion and justification.
