Qualitative Research Design and Methods

As you did last week, you will begin this week with a general examination of qualitative strategies and methods in this Discussion, along with a comparison of those methods to the quantitative strategies studied last week.

To prepare for this Discussion:

  • Review Chapter 9 in the course text, Research Design and the “Qualitative Methods: Examples” media segment.
  • Explain how quantitative and qualitative strategies and methods/procedures are similar and different.
  • Determine which kinds of research questions would be served by a qualitative strategy of inquiry and explain why.
  • Generalize about the popularity of qualitative methods in your discipline.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 3 a 2-to 3-paragraph comparison of quantitative and qualitative strategies of inquiry.

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the reading(s) and/or media segment(s) and use APA format.
