Assignment 2 Final Projectcreate The Final Project Using The Prospect

Create the final project using the prospectus template [see link below]. This should demonstrate not only your understanding of the qualitative research design you have selected, and should be edited and revised according to feedback previously received. Include details on design, purpose, a lit review, methodology, data analysis, etc. and a bibliography of at least ten academic articles or dissertations. Support your prospectus with relevant and current existing research primary and secondary sources. Submit your response as a Microsoft Word document by the due date assigned, to the Submissions Area. Name your file R7035_M7_A2_Lastname_FirstInitial.doc. All written assignments and responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources.

Paper For Above instruction

In this final project, I will craft a comprehensive research prospectus that aligns with the prescribed template, demonstrating a thorough understanding of qualitative research design. The project begins with clearly defining the phenomenon of interest, followed by an explicit declaration of the qualitative tradition that guides the investigation, such as phenomenology, grounded theory, or case study. Central to this are the formulated research questions that direct the inquiry, rooted in the theoretical and empirical literature reviewed.

The literature review will encapsulate peer-reviewed scholarly articles, dissertations, relevant books, and credible online sources relevant to the selected phenomenon. For instance, if exploring a pedagogical approach in education, sources such as journal articles from the "Harvard Educational Review" and recent dissertations on innovative teaching methods will be synthesized. This review not only contextualizes the study but also identifies gaps that the current research seeks to fill.

The methodology section will articulate the qualitative research approach, specifying the chosen design—whether phenomenological to explore lived experiences or narrative to understand stories. It will include participant selection criteria, sampling strategies, and proposed settings or populations. Data gathering methods—such as semi-structured interviews, focus groups, or observations—will be elaborated upon, along with their alignment to the research questions.

Data coding and analysis techniques will be delineated, illustrating methods like thematic analysis, content analysis, or discourse analysis. Discussion of quality assurance will encompass credibility strategies such as member checking, triangulation, or audit trails, and will address ethical considerations including informed consent, confidentiality, and researcher bias mitigation. Clear, organized, and academically precise writing will underpin the entire prospectus, adhering to APA standards for citations and references.
