    Overview

    In this assignment, you will develop a research topic appropriate for a qualitative study and formulate a corresponding research question. This activity is crucial in laying the foundation for your qualitative research by ensuring that your topic is well-defined and that your research question is aligned with qualitative methodology.

    Instructions

    • Identify and clearly define a research topic suitable for qualitative inquiry. Provide a brief background, with examples, that explains why this topic is significant–including your objectives (or purpose) in conducting the study–and how it fits within the scope of qualitative research.
    • Build on your research activity by stating a specific, open-ended research question that aligns with the chosen topic. Explain how this question is suitable for qualitative research and why it cannot be answered by quantitative methods.
    • Justify why the selected qualitative approach is the most appropriate for answering your research question compared with other potential qualitative methodologies. Discuss the characteristics, strengths, and weaknesses of three potential qualitative methodologies (e.g., generic qualitative inquiry, case study, phenomenology) that could be used to explore this topic.
    • Discuss how your research question aligns with the overall research topic and objectives. Ensure that your question is focused, clear, and researchable within the scope of qualitative methods.
    • Include at least three scholarly references to support your topic choice and methodological justification.
    • Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and consistent with the expectations for members in the identified field of study.

    Deliverable: Submit a 3-5 page paper (excluding references) that includes your research topic, research question, methodological justification, and alignment discussion.

    Requirements
