  • John W. Creswell: Creswell is a professor of educational psychology and has written several books on research methodology, including "Research Design: Qualitative, Quantitative, and Mixed Methods Approaches." In this book he provides a clear introduction to descriptive research design and its uses.

Sure, here are some definitions of descriptive research design and qualitative research design from 2017:

Descriptive Research Design:
Descriptive research design is a research method that focuses on describing the characteristics of a population or phenomenon. It involves gathering data through observation, surveys, or other methods of data collection, and then analyzing that data to identify patterns, trends, and other features of the population or phenomenon being studied. (Source: Leedy, P. D., & Ormrod, J. E. (2017). Practical research: Planning and design.)

Qualitative Research Design:
Qualitative research design is a research method that focuses on understanding and interpreting the meaning that individuals or groups ascribe to a social or human problem. It involves collecting data through interviews, observations, or other methods of data collection, and then analyzing that data to uncover themes, patterns, and other aspects of the social or human problem being studied. Qualitative research typically involves a smaller sample size than quantitative research and is more concerned with understanding the subjective experiences of individuals or groups. (Source: Creswell, J. W. (2017). Qualitative inquiry and research design: Choosing among five approaches.)
