Sculptors have been known to say that whatever they created was always there in the stone, marble, or clay that they began with. The sculptor might say his or her work was to help the final form emerge from the stone.

Qualitative research can also be emerging in nature—there are many tools and techniques available to shape this approach to research, some dependent on circumstances, but like a sculpture, the varied tools and techniques needed to reveal the best approach for realizing the finished product require thoughtful consideration.

This week, you will continue to expand your understanding of a research framework in the context of qualitative research by analyzing and evaluating research questions in qualitative studies. You will also continue to analyze the interrelated elements of a research study making the connection among theory, problem, purpose and, now, qualitative research questions and design.

Learning Objectives

Students will:

Evaluate qualitative research questions in research studies published in peer-reviewed journals
Identify qualitative approaches in research studies published in peer-reviewed journals and explain how the researchers implemented the approach
Explain use of qualitative designs in research studies published in peer-reviewed journals
Analyze alignment among theory, problem, purpose, research questions, and design in qualitative research studies published in peer-reviewed journal articles
Apply APA Style to writing
