Creating a Problem Statement and Research Questions for Different Designs

Review the draft paper you created in the Module 1 assignment. Using the same topic, you will create a problem statement and two research questions for three different qualitative research designs you identified during this course. For each selection, complete the Alignment Table: Problem, Research Questions, and Design linked on the Learning Objects page and write 1-2 paragraphs explaining any important elements of the research design which would be valuable to your paper and why. Step 1. Access Access your papers from the Module 1 and Module 2 assignments, the Qualitative Research Paper Outline linked on the Module 1 Learning Objects page, and the Alignment Table: Problem, Research Questions, and Design linked on Module 3 Learning Objects page. Step 2. Choose Choose three qualitative research designs from those you have studied in the course. Step 3. Create For each selected research design, and using your topic, create a problem statement beginning, The problem is… and 2 research questions. Research questions should not be answered yes/no and should begin with What? How? Why? Record your information in the Alignment Table: Problem, Research Questions, and Design. You will create a separate table for each of the 3 designs. Step 4. Explain In the table, review the alignment for each problem, research questions, and design. Explain the important elements of each research design. Explain how the problem and research questions changed for each research design you chose. Address any potential misalignment. Step 5. Select and Describe Using what you have learned about the designs, select a design for the qualitative research study you are completing in this course. In several paragraphs, explain the selected design and why it is appropriate to your qualitative research study. Include the other two designs and why you did not select them. Step 6. Update Using the Module 1 draft of your research paper, complete the following: Update the problem and research questions. Add the Methodology and Design section of the paper. Select a potential title for your research paper. The title should be 12 words or less and contain the design. Step 7. Compile and Submit Submit in APA format the title page, updated research paper (Step 7), and the reference page you have developed so far. Also submit the 3 alignment templates.
