Discussion: Evaluating Research Questions and Qualitative Research Designs

Discussion: Evaluating Research Questions and Qualitative Research Designs Just as in quantitative research, when researchers design a qualitative research study, they are guided by its purpose. Their research questions align with their selected approach and the data that will be collected. As you learned in previous weeks, alignment means that a research study possesses clear and logical connections among all of its various components. In addition to considering alignment, qualitative researchers must also consider the ethical implications of their design choice, including, for example, what their choice means for participant recruitment, procedures, and privacy. 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 research designs or approaches used in qualitative research. With these thoughts in mind, refer to the Journal Articles document for your assigned articles for this Discussion. Use Article A. ARTICLE A Scheepmans, K., Diercks de Casterie, B., Paquay, L. von Gansbeke H., & Milisen, K. (2014). Restraint use in-home care: A qualitative study from a nursing perspective. BMC Geriatrics, 14, 17. By Day 4 Post a critique of the research study in which you:
  • Evaluate the research questions and hypotheses. The Research Questions and Hypotheses Checklist serves as a guide for your evaluation. Please do not respond to the checklist in a Yes/No format in writing your Discussion post.
  • 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.
