定性研究使人们有可能揭示往往看不见但同样真实的社会结构的复杂性，并为更充分地了解人类和社会生活开辟了途径。利用两项定性研究的数据，使用关键事件作为调查两种教育环境中人类互动细微差别的手段，作者纵观两项研究，以阐明其方法的共性和差异。通过这种分析，他们展示了关键事件的纳入如何为参与者和研究人员提供“转折点”，以思考和反思他们生活经历的复杂背景。作者还考虑了如何使用关键事件影响日常研究实践中固有的道德和实践困境。
Qualitative research makes it possible to reveal the often invisible but no less real complexities of social structures and opens venues for knowing human and social life more fully. Drawing on data from two qualitative research studies that used critical incidents as a device for investigating the nuances of human interaction within two educational settings, the authors look across the two studies to illuminate commonalities as well as differences in their approaches. Through this analysis, they demonstrate how the inclusion of critical incidents affords both participants and researchers 'turning points' in ways of thinking about and reflecting upon the complex contexts of their lived experiences. The authors also consider how the use of critical incidents impacts the ethical and practical dilemmas inherent in everyday research practice.
