How to Choose a Qualitative Research Design
July 9, 2022 @ 11:00 am - July 16, 2022 @ 1:00 pm EDT
$179
Are you struggling to choose the ‘right’ qualitative research design for your study?
If so, are you wondering:
Where do I begin?
How can I identify the most appropriate design if I don’t understand the difference between the designs?
How can I provide a rationale for using a non-traditional, culturally relevant design or methodology?
If you feel stuck or unsure of your choices, learning more about the many qualitative research designs and their purposes may be just what you need. Choosing the most appropriate research design is essential for (1) aligning your purpose statement, research questions, data collection methods, and analysis methods; (2) finding appropriate scholarly support for your design choice; and (3) justifying your design and methods decisions to your committee. However, not having adequate knowledge about the designs can cause you to waste time writing draft after draft with little support and can cause feelings of inadequacy leading to procrastination.
Over the years, we have found that most doctoral candidates succeed with examples, step-by-step processes and models, and the opportunity to ask questions and receive in-the-moment comments. Using step-by-step processes designed to meet the aims of specific qualitative designs can give you confidence as you move through qualitative analysis and into writing.
