Qualitative Research

Research and Evaluation in Education and Psychology:Integrating Diversity with Quantitative, Qualitative, and Mixed Methods, Edition 3, Donna M. Martens. Chapter 8: Qualitative Methods needs to be summarized and provided with examples relevant to educational leadership. in addition provide the type of data and statistical analysis required for qualitative research. I need to select an aspect of the chapter, develop a thesis statement which will reflect that aspect and then do scholastic research on that aspect of the chapter. The thesis needs to be clearly stated and supported by the entire presentation. all major points need to be supported by either a quote or a paraphrased quote. All citations need to be in correct APA format. Five scholastically acceptable articles are included. Reference list should be complete, and every entry is correctly formatted. I will need a hard copy of references. The material needs to be germane to the topic and in an interesting and informative manner.

Topic: Qualitative Research

Order Description
Outline Select one article from a peer-reviewed journal in your subject area that exclusively or predominantly employs a qualitative research design.
Critically assess your chosen article by undertaking the following:
• A methodological evaluation of the chosen research design and its methods. This may include assessing the role of theory and the underpinning ontology and epistemology. To clarify what we mean by “may include”, it is part of the assignment to choose an article of “sufficient interest” that an assessment of a suitable length can be written but you do not have to discuss theory, epistemology and ontology explicitly (or in a lot of depth if you do choose to). So if you do not feel equipped to discuss theory, epistemology and ontology at all or in detail, the article you choose should allow you to have a lot to say/ critique regarding research design, methodology and data analysis (see next bullet point).
• A critical assessment of the data analysis; presentation and organisation of data; and the use of data to evaluate and/or build theory.

The topic that you will criticize must be related to my topic which is Improving Students Citizenship.
