When analyzing the results of this study, certain limitations need to taken into account. No matter how long a research takes place, there always will be other aspects of the context that were not examined.[1]
One limitation refers to in the use of only qualitative research methods. The strength of qualitative research consists in collecting information in many ways, rather than choosing just one. Although the texts gathered for analysis conferred important data for answering the research questions, a survey would have brought more opinions and consequently, more information, concerning the issues researched. Two or more methods can be used in such a way that the weakness of one is compensated by the strength of another.[2] This method, called triangulation, would have helped the researcher to obtain a more complete picture of what is being studied.
