    Module 5: Qualitative Module - Assignment: What Is Your Question? For A Proposed Study, What Is Your Objective?

    Uploaded by

    The objective of the assignment is for students to develop a qualitative research question and consider the methodology and methods required to answer it. Students will choose a qualitative research question on a topic of interest, select an appropriate methodology (comparing it to two other options), identify data collection methods, develop data collection guides, and address ethical considerations like confidentiality. The proposal template provided outlines sections for the study design such as setting, sampling plan, data collection and analysis, limitations, and knowledge translation strategy.

    Module 5: Qualitative Module – Assignment

    The objective of the assignment is to have you go through the exercise of coming up with
    a qualitative question and then superficially considering what methodology and methods
    are required to answer it.

    Part 1.
    Develop a qualitative research question on a topic that interests you. You can take the
    question that you would have developed in Module 1 and find a qualitative angle to it.

    To develop a question, think about from what different angles the question could
    be asked and answered. For example, if you are interested in a child’s experience
    of some phenomenon, would you want to observe or talk to the children involved,
    their parents, teachers, playmates etc.? How would you go about getting access to
    the group of people you are interested in studying?

    Remember that qualitative research is exploratory – you do not need a hypothesis.


    However, you do need to have a focus that will guide the development of a list of
    questions.

    Examples:
     QUANT: In children with acute asthma, does Decadron give
    orally reduce the admission rate compared with placebo?
     QUAL: How do parents feel about giving their children steroid
    medications?

    What is your question? For a proposed study, what is your objective?

    Part 2.
    Choose a methodology that will frame your approach to data collection and analysis.
    Give an explanation why you chose this method over 2 other potential methods. Enter
    this information into the template listed below…

    Part 3.
    Choose the method(s) you would like to employ in data collection. Remember that
    multiple methods give an opportunity for triangulation of the data within analysis. Again
    enter this information into the template below….

    Part 4.
    For each method of data collection, prepare a guide.
    For example if you are doing observation, list what locations you are going to
    observe and when, who will do the observation, how many episodes of observation
    (determined by…) or how long the observations will be. If you are using audiovisual
    data, how are you going to collect it? (e.g. have participants use cameras, take
    photographs yourself, collect existing photos from different sources)

    Interview guides need to include open-ended questions with a logical flow of ideas.
    Remember to start with general questions and move into those that are more key to
    answering your research questions.

    Part 5.
    Write a paragraph describing how you are going to deal with confidentiality and any
    other ethical issues you think might arise within your study (e.g. is your population
    particularly disadvantaged? What ethical issues might come up when trying to access this
    population?) Enter the information into the template.

    NB: You’ll only enter information into some of the subsections below – that’s OK, the
    idea is to get you writing structured documents.
    Module 5: Qualitative Module – Research Proposal
    Template
    Assignment: Complete the following subsections to describe the study design you will
    use to explore the questions you have raised. Use the Critical Appraisal worksheets as a
    checklist to help you decide what to cover. You are encouraged to include a flow diagram
    showing how your study would run.

    Feel free to delete the comments listed at right. You can temporarily hide them by
    clicking the “View” menu and then the “Markup” submenu in most versions of Word.

    Have your research preceptor review your document with you.
