Description
Part 1
Create a title page for your Major Assignment 1. Use the Detailed Major Assignment
1 Guidelines at the end of this document for proper formatting of your paper.
Write a problem statement based on your topic of study. Develop a 1- to 2-
paragraph statement that is the result of a review of the articles you located on your
topic.
1. Briefly describe the phenomena you are interested in studying.
2. Briefly summarize the key findings or what is understood about this
phenomena based on the three articles you reviewed.
3. Briefly identify the “gap”—what do you see as an important, relevant, next
step in learning more about this topic that would be appropriate for a
qualitative study.
(Note: As you write your problem statement, use your literature review/metaanalysis article, your theory article, and your research article to support your problem
statement. Also, these articles should be included in your annotated bibliography
framework.)
Include your Annotated Bibliography section.
Topic : there is need to study the real cause of the childhood trauma and the possible ways of mitigating
this vice that is rising in the society
In your first Major Assignment, you will have the first-hand experience of translating that
idea into a viable research problem that is a good fit for a qualitative approach. But,
before you begin this Assignment, please consider the following concepts:
You will begin your search for literature to find three articles that will inform your topic of
study from a scholarly perspective.
Part 1
•
Create a title page for your Major Assignment 1. Use the Major Assignment 1: Developing a
Research Topic for a Qualitative Study Assignment Overview and Guidelines for proper
formatting of your paper.
• Write a problem statement based on your topic of study. Develop a 1- to 2-paragraph statement
that is the result of a review of the articles you located on your topic.
1. Briefly describe the phenomena you are interested in studying.
2. Briefly summarize the key findings or what is understood about this phenomena based on the
three articles you reviewed.
3. Briefly identify the “gap”—what do you see as an important, relevant, next step in learning more
about this topic that would be appropriate for a qualitative study.
• Include your Annotated Bibliography section.
Part 2
• Write a purpose statement using terminology of qualitative research. The purpose statement should
contain: 1. A statement using the following template: The purpose of this qualitative study is to [choose
one: explore, describe, understand, explain] the meaning/experience/culture/stories of [phenomenon
of interest] in [population/setting]. 2. A justification of why the purpose of your study is suited for the
qualitative approach in terms of: • The phenomena you choose. • The “fit” with a constructivist
epistemology and ontology. • The relevance of the naturalistic setting or context to the phenomena of
interest. Based on your knowledge of reflexivity, explain your relationship to the problem; and the
issues of bias and positionality to be addressed. Include a brief description of the setting and possible
sources of data. • Write a research question using terminology of qualitative research. (Note: This could
be the same research question you created in your Discussion 1 for this week ONLY if it applies to your
topic of study for this Assignment.) The research question should incorporate and mirror the purpose
statement using the following template: What is the meaning/experience/culture/stories of
[phenomenon of interest] in [population/setting]?
