Discussion Question

Alignment means that a research study possesses clear and logical connections among all of its various components. In addition to considering alignment, qualitative researchers must also consider the ethical implications of their design choice, including, for example, what their choice means for participant recruitment, procedures, and privacy.

For this Discussion, you will evaluate qualitative research questions in assigned journal articles and consider the alignment of theory, problem, purpose, research questions, and design. You will also identify the type of qualitative research design the authors used and explain how it was implemented.

With these thoughts in mind, refer to the Journal Articles document attachedand Post a critique of the research study in which you:
- Evaluate the research questions using the Research Questions and Hypotheses Checklist as a guide
- Identify the type of qualitative research approach used and explain how the researchers implemented the design
- Analyze alignment among the theoretical or conceptual framework, problem, purpose, research questions, and design
