This week, you will evaluate two specific research designs aligned within qualitative methods and then select and offer a preliminary rationale for why and how it is the appropriate qualitative research design to explore your proposed educational problem of inquiry. See Figure 1.1 for research designs typically used within qualitative educational research.
Figure 1.1. Qualitative research designs aligned by paradigm. Each of these types of qualitative research is rooted in long-standing principles and tenets that guide particular and sometimes prescriptive protocol for each approach. It is important to align the overall study design with the conventions of the specific tradition selected for qualitative research. (Please note that this figure is not an exhaustive list as there are many other traditions and combinations of approaches used within qualitative research across disciplines.)
Instructions
In the Week 1 assignments, you will consider, evaluate, and then choose between two selected qualitative research traditions that are appropriate within the qualitative method and relevant to your educational problem of inquiry. You will confirm your selected research design choice in Assignment 2.
Assignment Instructions:
After review of the Week 1 Resources and Figure 1.1, select two relevant qualitative research designs that could be used to explore a focused educational problem of inquiry.
Evaluate the strengths and challenges of both research designs and cite the scholarly research guides to support your evaluation.
Summarize the benefits of both research designs to explore your specific educational problem of inquiry.
Length: 2-3 PowerPoint slides (2 additional slides for title and References)
References: Include a minimum of 3 scholarly research guides
