Module 02 - Case Assignment

In the module two case assignment you need to demonstrate that you can  recognize and identify types of qualitative research within the existing body of research literature.

Your task:

 

1. Using either ProQuest and/or EBSCOE, search for one of each of the following types of studies:

  • ethnography

  • Grounded theory

  • The case study

  • Action research

Important Point: To make this most meaningful, you are encouraged -  but NOT required to search for studies that address a topic that you are particularly interested in.

In conjunction with your summary of the above 4 methodologies, the following questions are to be addressed:

2. What type of methodology did the study use?

Why do you say so: discuss basic characteristics of the methodology, and explain the type of results the researchers got (because they used the particular methodology)

Important Point: Your case assignment should clearly demonstrate your understanding of the important distinction between these four methodologies.
