8310 Week 10 Discussion 1: Trustworthiness in Qualitative Research

Understanding the strategies that have been developed to address issues of trustworthiness is the first step. The second step is considering “how could I do that in my own research?” It is important to recognize that it may not be feasible for you, as a novice researcher, to implement all possible strategies.

For this Discussion, you will examine quality, trustworthiness, and credibility in qualitative research and provide specific techniques and strategies.

To prepare for this Discussion:

· Review Chapter 7 of the Ravitch and Carl course text and the Shenton article related to trustworthiness in qualitative research.

· Use the Course Guide and Assignment Help to search for an article related to trustworthiness and/or quality in qualitative research.

Assignment Task Part 2

Respond to at least one of your colleagues’ posts in 150 words and search the Internet and/or the Walden Library for a different article related to trustworthiness and/or quality of qualitative research that offers other techniques or strategies.

· Explain how these other techniques or strategies might further ensure quality, trustworthiness, and credibility in qualitative research.
