To prepare for this Discussion: Review the Learning Resources related to qualitative research and consider the reasons researchers choose qualitative research methods for exploring a phenomenon of interest. Use the Course Guide and Assignment Help in the Learning Resources to help you search for other books, encyclopedias, or articles that introduce and describe qualitative research. Consider the statement: Qualitative researchers study people in their natural settings, attempting to make sense of phenomena in terms of the meanings people bring to them. Using the Learning Resources and other academic sources you found, expand on this simple statement. In 3–4 paragraphs, explain several dimensions of this paradigm that make qualitative research interesting and unique. Be sure to use the terminology you are learning (including but not limited to “phenomena”, “constructivist,” and “naturalistic”), and provide historical context. Be sure to support your main post and response post with reference to the week’s Learning Resources and other scholarly evidence in APA style.
To prepare for this Discussion: Review the Learning Resources related to qualitative research. Consider a topic in your discipline that is of interest to you. This could come from a prior course or something from your work or personal setting for which you have a passion. Based on your initial understanding of qualitative research, post a description of the topic you chose in terms of how it could be conceptualized as a qualitative study. Include: What is the phenomenon of interest? What experiences or contextual issues might influence how this phenomenon could be studied? In what setting(s) could a topic like this be explored? What connection do you have to this topic, and why do you think it is important to explore this as a qualitative study? What possibilities could the results of this research have for social change? Be sure to support your main post and response post with reference to the week’s Learning Resources and other scholarly evidence in APA style.

Chapter 7: Child Abuse Each student is required to write 1 post on the discussion board for each chapter. Each post has to demonstrate a meaningful synthesis of the material posted (like a research article) and the corresponding chapter assigned. Keep in mind that your discussion forum postings will likely be seen by other members of the course. Care should be taken when determining what to post. Specifically, your posts should be critically reflecting on each week’s postings, relate them back to the week’s chapter, and will be graded based on your ability to connect the two in a thoughtful and coherent way. You can earn up to 3 points per post, Keep in mind that these posts are meant to flow as a dialogue between all students enrolled in the class. It is very important that you reference your readings in these weekly posts as just making a post does not guarantee points. Your grade for each post will be based on the quality of your response. Hence, giving a blanket “I agree/I disagree” answers or opinions that anyone could write without having an in-depth understanding of the material assigned will not be accepted. It is also important that you read the week’s posting in its entirety. It is highly recommended to read previous posts so that you do not write similar ideas. Again, part of the grading criteria includes the student’s ability to add value to the ongoing discussion by connecting the material with information from the book and possibly outside sources. Postings should be no shorter or longer than two paragraphs and should show your understanding of the week's readings.
