Qualitative Research Design and Methods

To prepare for this Discussion: 

  • Review Chapter 9 in the course text, Research Design and the “Qualitative Methods: Examples” media segment. 
  • Explain how quantitative and qualitative strategies and methods/procedures are similar and different. 
  • Determine which kinds of research questions would be served by a qualitative strategy of inquiry and explain why. 
  • Generalize about the popularity of qualitative methods in your discipline.

With these thoughts in mind: 

Post by Day 3 a 2-to 3-paragraph comparison of quantitative and qualitative strategies of inquiry.
