  1. Evaluating a Qualitative Study

For this assignment, find one qualitative research study examining your topic. Make sure the article utilizes primary data collection and there is a methods and results section. Based on this week’s readings and your current understanding of qualitative methods, and using Table 9.2 Criteria for Evaluating the Research Design in a Qualitative Research Report (page 301) in your course text to help guide you, address the following:

  1. Using what you learned from your reading, name the research design used and why it was likely selected by the author(s).
  2. Describe the sampling strategy used and provide a rationale for selection. (Refer to Table 10.1 Types of Purposeful Sampling Strategies in your course text.)
  3. What types of data did the authors collect (interviews, observations, documents)? What were the advantages and disadvantages of the method of data collection used? (Refer to Table 10.2 Characteristics of the Major Categories of Qualitative Data Collection in your course text.)
  4. Evaluate how ethical recruitment and data collection were ensured.
  5. Assess credibility and the quality if the study. Will you retain it for your literature review?

This assignment is similar to last week’s assignment. Be sure to utilize the writing and content feedback you received on your Unit 5 assignment to strengthen this submission. Use Capella Writing Center resources and reach out to the writing coaches for assistance if needed.

  • By submitting this paper, you agree: (1) that you are submitting your paper to be used and stored as part of the SafeAssign™ services in accordance with the Blackboard Privacy Policy; (2) that your institution may use your paper in accordance with your institution’s policies; and (3) that your use of SafeAssign will be without recourse against Blackboard Inc. and its affiliates.
  • Institution Release Statement
  • NOTE:
  • This was the last paper comment from the Professional – Please don’t let this me the same comments.
  • Follow the paper instruction and thanks You very much. 😊
  • Scoring Guide5 pages – not 3-4 pages are required. You were to use one article and focus on each sections in the scoring guide/rubric in more depth than what you did. Also, you need to watch yourself because you had large sections that were used in other articles – see your SafeAssign report. I won’t make you rewrite this assignment, but if this happens next week, I will need for you to rewrite so that you are paraphrasing.
  • Please take what the issues where from this week’s work and address them in your assignment for this week. I hate to see you repeat issues and lose points.
  • Also, please remember that just because you put an in-text citation, you need to be paraphrasing your work.  SafeAssign reports were rather high for last week’s work and you need to pay attention to these.  You do not want to be brought up on an integrity violation, as it will impact your academic career.

Again, remember that I have posted APA assistance in the Updates and Handouts for you to use.  Purdue OWL is excellent, but you also need to remember that Capella is still using APA 6 – NOT 7.
