Two Qualitative Research Studies

 

Given two quantitative and two qualitative research studies, minus  the abstracts, choose one quantitative study and one qualitative study  to analyze. Then, write a 250-word abstract for each one.

As you read each study, take notes that will help you write the abstracts. Consider:

• The purpose of the research.
• How the sample of participants was selected.
• The rationale given for the choice of a qualitative versus a quantitative approach.
• The main findings of the study.
• Any limitations of the study.
• Any recommendations made for further research.

In addition, keep a record of key words or concepts to add to each abstract.

Document Format and Length

Each abstract should be 250 words in length.
