Conduct your own literature search to find a published study that represents one of the approaches.
One of the more important questions you will need to ask and answer for yourself as you develop your research study is: “Which qualitative research approach best fits my research question?” You may be able to reframe your research question to fit more than one qualitative approach; generally, though, one of the available approaches is likely to fit better than the others once you have a well-defined question. The only way to make this determination is to develop familiarity with different approaches.
In this Discussion, you will conduct a literature review of your topic area, focusing your choice on a research study that uses one of the qualitative approaches covered this week.
• Looking for a particular kind of qualitative article on your topic may be more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack. Do not hesitate to broaden your search to incorporate related phenomena or different target groups to find a study.
• Go to the Walden Library for tips and strategies for efficient searching.
• Make sure you get the complete citation of the article, as well as the .pdf because your Instructor will want to review the article.
• Be aware that your posting will first require an extensive article analysis. What you post is a summary of your work, not the entire analysis. This is good practice for summarizing and evaluating research for your capstone.
To prepare for this Discussion:
• Review the reading materials about the different approaches in this week’s Learning Resources.
• Conduct your own literature search to find a published study that represents one of the approaches.
• Review the following resources before proceeding with your own article review:
By Day 3
Contribute a 3-paragraph Discussion post in which you respond to the following:
• Summarize the characteristics of the approach of the research article you chose during your literature search.
• Summarize the research article, including the citation and sufficient information for your classmates and Instructor to locate the article.
• Present a short critique of that article based on the “R8360 Guidelines for Reading and Evaluating Qualitative Research Articles” document.
