Abstract

The rapid development and widespread use of internet-based technology have changed the research landscape. In line with these developments, Facebook has become a new avenue in research. This paper discusses, firstly, how Facebook can be utilized and, secondly, the complexities and practicalities of using this platform when conducting qualitative research. Utilizing Facebook in qualitative research is challenging due to the vast amount of data it contains and the ethical issues involved. However, understanding the features of Facebook and the involvement of gatekeepers may facilitate the research process. Facebook has become a viable tool in qualitative research for collecting data and recruiting participants. However, a strategy is required to facilitate the research process. Using Facebook in research can be a powerful tool but researchers should use it with caution and thoroughly evaluate the implications for practice before doing so.

Abstract

The integration of technology into qualitative research has revolutionised traditional methods, providing researchers with new opportunities and challenges. This paper compares the effectiveness, strengths, and limitations of traditional versus technology-based methods for recruiting participants, conducting interviews, and transcribing data, based on the personal experiences of the researchers. The findings reveal that while traditional face-to-face interviews enable deeper personal interaction and richer data collection, they are often time-consuming and logistically challenging. In contrast, technology-based methods offer increased accessibility, efficiency, and flexibility, particularly when recruiting participants and conducting interviews among geographically dispersed populations. However, these methods may compromise the depth of data due to the challenges of maintaining non-verbal cues and transcription accuracy, particularly when using automated transcription tools. This paper recommends a hybrid approach that combines the strengths of both methods. Best practices for using technology in qualitative research are proposed to ensure the richness and contextual depth of the data while leveraging the benefits of modern tools.
