Selecting a Topic, Developing Qualitative Research Questions, and Identifying Interviewees

Throughout the eight weeks of this course (in separate but interrelated assignments), you will complete a small-scale research project. This project acts as a mini-qualitative study and will give you first-hand experience with conducting qualitative research, specifically conducting an interview. If performed appropriately, the data you collect could contribute to your own study.

For this Assignment:
Submit a 2- to 3-page paper which addresses the following:
· Research topic:
o Describe your research topic.
o Provide a brief rationale for why you chose this topic and explain the process by which you selected your research topic.
· Research questions:
o Develop 2–3 overarching qualitative research questions based on your research topic that you hope to address in your interview.
· Interviewees:
o Identify two or more potential interviewees sufficiently qualified to provide data and insights into your research question(s).
o Provide a brief rationale for why your potential interviewees are appropriate.
