For independent scholars, determining alignment among the key components of the qualitative prospectus is an important task within the research process. Ensuring proper alignment among the problem statement, purpose statement, and research question(s) increases the prospect of your research contributing significantly to the scholarly conversation on your research topic. Also, assessing alignment among these critical components in extant literature will provide the knowledge required to ensure proper alignment in future research you may conduct throughout your professional career.
To prepare for this Discussion, choose one of the three qualitative studies that you analyzed for your Assignment in Week 2, and consider how the key components of this study—problem statement, purpose statement, conceptual framework, research question(s), and interview questions—did or did not align within the overall study. By Day 3
Post an assessment of your chosen qualitative study utilized in Week 2. Your assessment should include the following: Briefly describe key components of your chosen article: problem statement, purpose statement, conceptual framework, research question(s), and interview questions. (Note: You will attach a copy of this study to your Discussion post.) Analyze the alignment between these components, including areas of misalignment. Explain the level of alignment between these specific components, including areas that may be lacking. Recommend at least one change that could improve alignment within this study, including a rationale for your recommendation.
Be sure to support your work with a minimum of two specific citations from this week’s Learning Resources and at least one additional scholarly source.
EXAMPLES:
The quantitative specific business problem. The quantitative specific business problem must be well defined and contain the key variables. The following graphic depicts how to include the elements needed in a qualitative specific business problem.
Aligning the Specific Business Problem With the Purpose Statement and RQ
Make certain that the specific business problem, Purpose Statement, and Research Question (RQ) align. A good technique to use to enhance the alignment is to put the specific business problem, RQ, and first sentence of the Purpose Statement together on a blank document to ensure that you are using the same words. Notice the suggested order differs from the order the headings appear in the study.
Qualitative alignment example. The graphic below provides an example of alignment among the Specific Business Problem, Research Question, and first sentence of the Purpose Statement using the same key words. Pay attention to the words one uses in identifying the issue that the leader lacks or has in limited supply. The word determines how one can collect data.
? Some business leaders lack understanding… To ascertain what one understands will require a quantitative design.
? Some business leaders lack knowledge… To ascertain a business leader’s knowledge will require a quantitative design.
? Some business leaders lack strategies (or have limited plans, processes, procedures)… To ascertain a business leader’s strategies may involve interviews, focus groups, company archival records and documents, company policies and procedures, company intranet/Internet site, and direct/participant observation (in some cases) to collect data. Usually interviews or focus groups are the primary data collection method.
? Some business leaders lack skills… To ascertain a business leader’s skills will involve direct/participant observation as the primary data collection method.
