Abstract: This article critically examines the concepts of validity and reliability in educational research through the lens of Denzin and Lincoln's work, particularly their 2023 SAGE Handbook of Qualitative Research. It explores four key themes: the evolving nature of validity in qualitative research, the reconceptualisation of reliability, the role of researcher reflexivity, and the impact of emerging technologies on research quality. The article highlights the shift towards more holistic and context-sensitive approaches to ensuring research rigor in qualitative educational studies.
