Background

In this assignment, you will demonstrate your understanding of qualitative data collection methods and the appropriate application of these methods as prescribed by qualitative research principles. This assignment is included at this point in the course because once you have a clearer understanding of qualitative research designs, you will be in a better position to appropriately select from the multiple qualitative data collection methods that are available and to formulate a triangulated data collection strategy.

Instructions

In this assignment, you are required to conceptualize at least two data collection methods potentially aligned to your chosen design. In part 1 of the assignment, you will write at least three open ended data collection questions and align them with the literature relevant to the topic of your intended study. In part 2, you will describe a second data collection method you are considering for your intended dissertation study.

Part 1: Design a brief 3-question qualitative interview to explore a topic or research problem of interest to you. Remember, a qualitative interview includes open-ended questions to elicit a research participant’s perspectives, attitudes, and perceptions, rather than closed-ended questions that would simply yield a yes/no answer. Use the literature on the topic of your intended topic to provide rationale for why the question is being asked, including how it is aligned with your research interest. Also be sure to include citations to the literature (either research or theory) that supports your discussion. You can prepare this assignment in narrative format. (3 paragraphs)

Part 2: Select a second data collection method that you could use to triangulate the data you might collect in the interview above. In one to two paragraphs, describe the data collection method, the challenges and benefits, and the procedures you would use to collect the data described. Also, include a sample of the instrument you might use to collect the data.
