RSCH Week 3 Discussion 1: Selecting a Methodological Approach

 

There are five general methodological approaches for conducting qualitative research acceptable

• Ethnography.
• Case study.
• Phenomenology.
• Grounded theory.
• Generic qualitative inquiry.

 

• Select two methodological approaches from the five introduced this week.
• Demonstrate your understanding of this methodological approach by describing each, comparing and contrasting key features, and explaining when it would be appropriate to use each methodological approach.

Support your choice and rationale with references from the assigned readings.

Note: You will identify a data analysis strategy and process for each of these two methodological approaches in the Week 8 assignment.
