Nitel Araştırmaların Analizi: Meta-Sentez

Meta-sentez, nitel araştırma bulgularının analiz edilip sentezlenmesi ile daha geniş ve üst bir bakış açısı sağlayan bir araştırma yöntemidir. Son yıllarda meta-sentez kapsamında yürütülen araştırmaların sayısı artmakta fakat kavram kullanımı, yöntem ve araştırma sürecinde uyuşmazlıklar görülmektedir. Bu karmaşıklığı gidermek adına bu çalışmada öncelikle meta-sentez kavramı tanıtılmıştır. Ardından meta-sentez araştırma yönteminin alt türleri ele alınmıştır. Daha sonra meta-sentez yaklaşımında en sık kullanılan meta-etnografı yaklaşımı esas alınarak araştırma süreci aktarılmıştır. Son olarak mevcut meta-sentez araştırmaları hakkında bilgi verilmiştir.
