The significance of the article is that it covers essential instruments and elucidates the favorable faces and limitations of these instruments. Mentioned instruments include field notes, document analysis, focus groups, interviews, and observation. It considers the analysis of themes and coding approach of the triangulation method to increase the robustness (dependability and credibility) of qualitative results. The paper demonstrates how critical reflexivity is for those engaged in this kind of research and the extent to which the researchers must be aware of their prejudices regardless of where in the research process they may find themselves. It emphasizes the importance of reflexivity, with researchers required to consider their advocate assumptions and preconceptions at every research stage. This paper explores these tools and methods to offer a glimpse into the nuanced approaches utilized by qualitative researchers to access deep, contextual insights into complex social phenomena.
