Problem
Transferability: How generalizable is the data.
Congruency with existing research? (do a Google Scholar search on the topic)
Congruency with existing theoretical frameworks?
Clear explanation of limitation of study given?
Thick description? (explanation of behavior and context so clear that it is meaningful to you)
Sufficiently described to replicate study?
• Dependability: Results are consistent over time.
• How many observations were done in order to assume consistency?
• Did coding checks show agreement within and among concepts and themes? Describe.
• Was an audit trail done; if so how?
• What uniformity of data across subject occurred?
