Assignment: Application: Methods Used in Qualitative Research
In order to achieve credible and trustworthy results from qualitative studies, the methodology must be designed very carefully. That is, you must consider the process of conducting qualitative research to address your research question. Important considerations include selecting the research question, collecting data, engaging in data analysis and management, and selecting appropriate
interpretive techniques.
For this Assignment, be sure to view this week’s Qualitative Research Design PowerPoint webinar and pay close attention to its content on the basic elements of qualitative research methods (e.g., sample selection, data collection, plans for interpretive analysis). Then, review the two research studies presented in this week’s resources for this assignment.
This assignment involves identifying and describing different elements of the research method used in the Tobiano, Ting, Ryan, Jenkinson, Scott, & Marshall (2019) article.
Focus on the research design, sample selection, data collection methods, and plan for data analysis as discussed in the Tobiano, Ting, Ryan, Jenkinson, Scott, & Marshall (2019) article.
Identify at least two strengths and two weaknesses of the article’s research method based on trustworthiness. You must provide support for your explanation with citations from additional sources.
Use the Journal Club Template for Qualitative Research located in this week’s resources. Note: Assignments will not be accepted unless the required template is used.
The template includes an area for each element discussed in the study.
Be brief, paraphrase and summarize each of the elements clearly on the form.
