Discuss two or three ways that these three designs differ from one another.

Instructions:

This week we will continue the process of compiling your edited and polished work for your portfolio, demonstrating your mastery of a selected learning outcome from your program. 

Instructions Select one learning outcome from your program of study, utilizing a different outcome than previously selected. Then, select two graded artifacts (i.e., written assignments, projects, papers, discussion posts, or responses) that you feel best demonstrate your mastery of the selected program outcome.

When selecting a previous work sample, you can review and retrieve your Waypoint assignments from previous courses from within Waypoint itself.

Utilizing the feedback you received on these artifacts from your instructor as well as the things you have learned since submitting this work, revise and expand on these artifacts to create polished and corrected examples you can add to your portfolio. 

· Utilize track changes to make additions, corrections, and changes to your work in order for the instructor to review the changes that were made.

· Add two additional professional and current resources to support and improve your artifacts. 

· Learning outcome selected: RESEARCH DESIGN : demonstrates Design research projects that employ evidence-based methods and practices, and are framed within legal and ethical boundaries

Topic:

There are six main qualitative research designs, which all serve specific research purposes. The six qualitative research designs include 1) case study, 2) ethnography, 3) phenomenological study 4) grounded theory study, 5) narrative inquiry, and 6) content analysis. For this discussion, you will find similarities and differences among the six designs, as well as determine which design approach may be suitable for your selected topic. As you learn about the six qualitative research designs, think about how you could potentially use one or more of these designs to conduct your own study based on your selected topic from Week 1.

Prior to beginning work on this discussion,

· Read Chapter 8 of the textbook.

· Choose three of these six qualitative research designs you are most interested in exploring regarding your topic.

In your initial discussion forum post,

· List the three qualitative research designs you chose.

· Discuss two similarities that these three designs have in common.

· Discuss two or three ways that these three designs differ from one another.

· Explain, briefly, how one of these qualitative research designs could be used to design a study related to your selected topic.
