Directions:
Consider the specific language designated by GCU as indicative of qualitative research. Write a paper (1,500-1,750 words) in which you discuss the data sources
and data analysis options for conducting your proposed dissertation research
study using a phenomenological inquiry design. Include the following in your
discussion:
1. State the problem statement, purpose statement, and research questions you
drafted for conducting your potential research study as a phenomenological
inquiry during the previous course.
2. A description of potential data sources for the study. Use language appropriate to a phenomenological design.
3. A description of potential data analysis approaches for the study. Use
language appropriate to a phenomenological design.
4. A discussion of how well these potential data sources and analysis approaches align with the previously developed phenomenological inquiry components of the potential research study.
5. An analysis of the fit and alignment of this design to the proposed problem
statement, purpose statement, research questions, data sources, and data
analysis approaches. Do you believe this is a reasonable design for addressing
your study topic? Why or why not?
