To Prepare for this Assignment:

Review the work that you have done in the last two weeks, making sure that each cell in the matrix is completed. Create your reference list, including books and methodological articles on each area. You can use the ones listed in the Learning Resources and search for your own as well.

Write a 2- to 3-page narrative. In your narrative, be sure to respond to the following:

• Summarize what you have learned about the similarities and differences among the approaches.
• Describe how what you’ve learned by developing the matrix has allowed you to choose the approach that you plan to use for your research plan in this course.
• Identify the approach you intend to use for your research question.
• Describe your rationale for your choice of approach.

Submit your Qualitative Research Approaches Matrix Template (which you worked on during Weeks 2 and 3) and your narrative to your Instructor.
