Discuss the importance of the inductive approach in qualitative
Discussion One
In your initial post, address the following:
Discuss the importance of the inductive approach in qualitative research. How does this approach differ from the deductive approach in quantitative research?
Explain how your philosophical worldview may influence the types of research you are interested in conducting.
Of the four philosophical worldviews, which do you feel most fits with your own perspective to research?
How does the definition and description of research design differ from your initial perception of the concept?
If you were given a research study to complete in the Ashford online learning setting, which criterion/criteria would figure most prominently in your decision about
the research approach to take? For example, is there anything about the mode of online learning or the demographic of the students which would work best with a certain
research approach?
Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from the required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and
properly cite any references.
Discussion Two
In your initial post, address the following:
What topic are you most interested in studying? In one sentence state the essence of this study, then write your research title. Basically, choose a research topic
that interests you – is it a social problem that affects a particular group in society? Break down the elements: Who do you want to research? What is the issue? Is
there a particular place or other differentiator which is useful to describe your study?
Considering the research topic you selected, list five key terms related to your topic and use these terms to perform a database search for journal articles on the
topic in the Ashford University Library. What were the outcomes of your database search? Did you modify your search terms to achieve a successful search? Which
databases were most useful to you and why?
Considering the research topic you selected and the database searches you performed, list the five terms you think are important in this study and
define/operationalize them. Discuss the advantages and limitations defining these terms. To help you do this, list the terms and how they specifically support and are
important to your research topic.
Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from the required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and
properly cite any references.
