8010week 8

Greetings community of learners,

Welcome to week 8. I hope you have enjoyed working on your tasks for the past 7 weeks! Similar to your tasks in week 6, see this week’s instruction below and adhere to the requirements in accomplishing required tasks.

This week, you have two tasks to accomplish: Discussion and an Assignment. See below for a brief information. Review our course for detailed instruction on the requirements and due dates.

Discussion: Designing Qualitative Research

Here is the instruction and section headings I would like to see

 

Instruction: By Day 4

Post an explanation of two criteria for evaluating the quality of qualitative research designs. Next, explain how these criteria are tied to epistemological and ontological assumptions underlying philosophical orientations and the standards of your discipline. Then, identify a potential ethical issue in qualitative research and explain how it might influence design decisions. Finally, explain what it means for a research topic to be amenable to scientific study using a qualitative approach.

 

Be sure to support your Main Issue Post and Response Post with reference to the week’s Learning Resources and other scholarly evidence in APA Style.
