For this Discussion, you will evaluate qualitative research questions in assigned journal articles in your discipline and consider the alignment of theory, problem, purpose, research questions, and design. You will also identify the type of qualitative research design or approach the authors used and explain how it was implemented. Narrative, ethnographic, grounded theory, case study, and phenomenology are examples of types of research designs or approaches used in qualitative research.
For this week’s discussion:
- Evaluate the research questions and hypotheses.
- Identify the type of qualitative research approach used and explain how the researchers implemented the design.
- Analyze alignment among the theoretical or conceptual framework, problem, purpose, research questions, and design
