Data Triangulation in Qualitative Research





Data from observation: Student G’s academic performance and quality of her written work has diminished over the past several weeks. My interpretation is that her behavior and academic performance has suffered after learning that she will not be transitioning into a less restrictive public school setting. I can triangulate this interpretation by examining the connections between detailed observation forms (i.e. assessments of written work), teacher observation (e.g.. through my daily teacher journal), and reflections. This will allow me to pinpoint both the source and implications for the student’s performance.
