Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the debates about the validity and reliability criteria that are frequently addressed in the qualitative research tradition. For this purpose, concerns about validity and reliability issue have been analyzed in detail based on epistemological and theoretical conceptualizations. As a result of the analysis, it is seen that the issue of validity and reliability is important and researchers propose various conceptual and theoretical approaches to the subject. In addition to the views suggesting that these propositions regarding validity and reliability issue can be defined in various ways and function differently based on epistemological and theoretical differences. It is also seen that there are views emphasizing that the quality of each study should be assessed separately with a more rhetorical approach because it refuses to have pre-determined criteria in qualitative researches. Based on this analysis, the general conclusion that measuring the quality of qualitative studies is a controversial issue and there is no single way to measure quality has been obtained.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, nitel araştırma geleneği içinde son dönemlerde sıklıkla ele alınan geçerlik ve güvenirlik ölçütlerine ilişkin tartışmaları incelemektir. Bu amaçla geçerlik ve güvenirlik sorunsalına ilişkin endişeler, konuyla ilgili epistemolojik ve kuramsal kavramsallaştırmalara dayalı olarak ayrıntılı bir şekilde çözümlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Çözümlemeler sonucunda geçerlik ve güvenirlik konusunun son yıllarda giderek önem kazanmaya başladığı ve araştırmacıların konuya yönelik çeşitli yaklaşımlar önerdikleri görülmüştür. Bu önermelerde geçerlik ve güvenirliğin çeşitli şekillerde tanımlanabileceğini ve epistemolojik ve kuramsal farklılıklara dayalı olarak farklı şekilde işlev görebileceğini ortaya koyan görüşlerin yanında, nitel araştırmalarda önceden belirlenmiş ölçütlerin olmasını reddeden, dolayısı ile daha retorik bir yaklaşımla her çalışmanın niteliğinin ayrı değerlendirilmesi gerektiğini vurgulayan görüşlerin olduğu da görülmektedir. Bu çözümlemeye dayalı olarak nitel çalışmalarda geçerlik ve güvenirlik kavramlarının tartışmalı bir konu olduğu ve nitel çalışmaların niteliğini ölçmek için tek bir yolun olmadığı genel sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
