To prepare for this Discussion:

· Review the Learning Resources related to qualitative research and consider the reasons researchers choose qualitative research methods for exploring a phenomenon of interest.

· Use the Course Guide and Assignment Help in the Learning Resources to help you search for other books, encyclopedias, or articles that introduce and describe qualitative research.

BY DAY 3

Consider the statement:

Qualitative researchers study people in their natural settings, attempting to make sense of phenomena in terms of the meanings people bring to them.

Using the Learning Resources and other academic sources you found, expand on this simple statement. In 3–4 paragraphs, explain several dimensions of this paradigm that make qualitative research interesting and unique. Be sure to use the terminology you are learning (including but not limited to “phenomena”, “constructivist,” and “naturalistic”), and provide historical context.

Be sure to support your main post and response post with reference to the week’s Learning Resources and other scholarly evidence in APA style.
