Research Design and Methods

Locate a primary research article in an academic journal from the CSU Online Library where the researcher or researchers used a qualitative research strategy. After reading the article, explain the following elements:

• Phenomena under study,
• research design,
• analytical approach,
• data analysis procedures used,
• data collection method,
• sampling design (describe research participants and method of selection),
• findings,
• personal reflection on the use of a qualitative versus quantitative research strategy.

Your assignment should be a minimum of two pages in length, not counting the required references page. Please thoroughly address all required elements listed above. Responses should be written in a narrative format rather than being formatted as short bullet points. Please use APA-compliant headings and sub-headings that align with the individual assignment elements and please respond to the assignment elements in the same sequence they are requested in the instructions. Do not combine elements within a section. Each assignment element should have its own section with APA heading. Adhere to all other APA Style and Formatting guidelines, including in-text citations and references for all sources that are used. Include at least the article used as a source, but other credible sources may be used as needed.
