Research and Critique a Qualitative Study

Research and Critique a Qualitative Study

Prior to beginning work on this assignment, be sure to have read all the required resources for the week.

Locate a peer-reviewed qualitative research study in the Ashford
University Library on the topic you chose in Week One for your Final
Research Proposal. You may choose to use a qualitative study that was
included in the literature review you used in the Week One assignment by
searching the reference list for qualitative research studies on the
topic. It is also acceptable to utilize a qualitative research study on
your topic that was not included in your literature review.

Once you have located an appropriate qualitative study, identify the
specific qualitative research design used. Summarize the main points of
the study including information on the research question, sampling
strategy, research design, data analysis method(s), findings, and
conclusion(s). Evaluate the published qualitative research study
focusing on and identifying the researcher’s paradigm or worldview and
any evidence of reflexivity described in the report. Explain whether or
not potential biases were adequately addressed by the researchers.
Describe how the researchers applied ethical principles in the research
study.
