I criteri COREQ per valutare la validità degli studi qualitativi: un percorso a ritroso per illuminarne alcuni presupposti taciti

A backward path to illuminate their tacit assumptions

Abstract

In this paper, we will reflect on some tacit assumptions of qualitative research, starting from criteria widely used to evaluate its quality, for example, in peer review processes. Therefore, we will analyze the COnsolidated criteria for REporting Qualitative studies (COREQ) and then report some critics that have been recently moved to them. We will conclude by exploring the improvements these reflections on COREQ can bring to those involved in qualitative research, especially in education.
