Assessment Description
In
your upcoming residency, you will need to justify your choices relative
to the research design of your proposed study. Throughout this course,
you will explore data sources and analysis options for several
qualitative research designs. You will also explore how to justify the
choices of data sources and data analysis and align those components
with the remainder of the proposed research study. In this assignment,
you will explore the data sources and analysis options for conducting
your proposed dissertation research study using a qualitative
descriptive design. You will also explain how well these might align
with the components of your proposed research study as you described
them in the previous course. Given the data sources, data analysis
options, and alignment considerations, you will also offer a rationale
for potentially choosing the qualitative descriptive design.
General Requirements: Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:

Refer
to the problem statement, purpose statement, and research questions you
drafted for conducting your potential research study as a qualitative
descriptive study during the previous course.
This assignment
uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the
assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful
completion.
Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for
their writing assignments. The APA Style Guide is located in the Student
Success Center.
Refer to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association
for specific guidelines related to doctoral level writing. The manual
contains essential information on manuscript structure and content,
clear and concise writing, and academic grammar and usage.
This
assignment requires that at least two additional scholarly research
sources related to this topic, and at least one in-text citation from
each source be included.
You are required to submit this
assignment to LopesWrite. A link to the LopesWrite technical support
articles is located in Class Resources if you need assistance.

Directions:Consider the specific language designated by GCU as indicative of qualitative research.Write
a paper (1,500-1,750 words) in which you discuss the data sources and
data analysis options for conducting your proposed dissertation research
study using a qualitative descriptive design. Include the following in
your discussion:

State the problem statement, purpose
statement, and research questions you drafted for conducting your
potential research study as a qualitative descriptive study during the
previous course.
A description of potential data sources for the study. Use language appropriate to a qualitative descriptive design.
A description of potential data analysis approaches for the study. Use language appropriate to a qualitative descriptive design.
A discussion
of how well these potential data sources and analysis approaches align
with the previously developed qualitative descriptive components of the
potential research study.
An analysis of the fit and alignment
of this design to the proposed problem statement, purpose statement,
research questions, data sources, and data analysis approaches. Do you
believe this is a reasonable design for addressing your study topic? Why
or why not?
