Qualitative research design ASSIGNMENT 2 INSTRUCTIONS:
Instructions
Complete a Journal Article Review (JAR2) using template below. The article you choose to review, will, ideally, contribute to the selection and development of your final paper topic. Locate ONE qualitative journal article related to counselling from scholarly peer-reviewed journal articles (published within the last 10 years) available online. You may search for your article via the online scholarly search engines or databases, such as Google Scholar, ERIC, BASE, PubMed Health.
For JAR2, the research design must be qualitative and utilize a formal qualitative methodology (e.g., grounded theory, phenomenological, ethnographic). Qualitative research design is inductive in its reasoning. It is a systematic subjective approach used to describe life experiences and to give these life experiences meaning. The goals for a qualitative researcher are to gain insight and to explore the depth, richness, and complexity inherent in the phenomenon under study. The final report for a qualitative study is a narrative report with contextual description & direct quotations from research participants. A study that simply asks open-ended questions and reports the results will not meet the requirements for this assignment. For JAR2, the research method, data analysis, and results should be clearly discussed.
Note: Meta-Analysis, Systematic Review, Pilot studies and Single-subject case studies are not permitted.
The purpose of an article review is to communicate the main points of a study and to discuss the implications, strengths and weaknesses of the design. The review is not meant to re-iterate the details of the study nor to paraphrase each point; instead, it should summarize and discuss the study. These assignments are an opportunity for you to demonstrate your understanding of the course concepts. For this paper, write in the third person; the idea is always to remain neutral, objective, and personally uninvolved.
Make a copy of the JAR2 template and use it for your assignment. Type your selected qualitative journal article at the top of the first page. Your JAR2 should be double-spaced, written in font 12-point Times New Roman. The paper should be approximately 750 words (3-4 pages), excluding the title, abstract, and reference pages.
Please format and submit the JAR2 in Word (doc or docx only) and use APA 7th edition style guidelines.Qualitative research design
