In a paper of at least 2,000 words (not including title, abstract, and reference pages), identify four qualitative research studies
that relate to your topic of interest or research focus (two of the
studies may be those you profiled in the first Discussion Forum
assignment this week).
Address the following:
- Describe each research study, identifying the research question or
questions, the qualitative research methodology, and the study
population for each study. - Analyze how the studies are similar in the ways each study tackled the research topic and how they are dissimilar.
- Evaluate the evidence of trustworthiness in each study. Is there any
evidence of lack of consistency or bias in the individual studies? If
so, describe your concerns. - Discuss any unresolved questions about your topic of interest that
were raised by the studies. Explain how further research on this topic
would augment the findings of the studies you reviewed. - Prepare an outline of the information you gathered from the four
sources that could be used if you were to write a paper on your topic.
Organize your outline as a logical flow of information that would
explain to a reader how you might synthesize the information across the
four qualitative research studies.
Make sure to list all four articles and any other sources you
accessed to write your paper in the reference list. If needed, use the APA Formatting Templates (Links to an external site.)
to ensure the most common reference types are formatted correctly, and
use your APA manual for less common reference types. Include title,
abstract, and reference pages in your paper.
