his will be a discussion post for my doctoral qualitative research class. You must support your response with at least two new peer-reviewed articles, but can also cite any of the provided resources. For this particular assignment, using Merriam, S. B., & Tisdell, E. J. (2015). Qualitative research: A guide to design and implementation. Jossey-Bass. Chs. 1-2 & 1 Bailey, C. A. (2018). A guide to qualitative field research. Sage. Ch. 1
respond to the following topic:
It was said by many researchers that the quantitative approach is “superior to” qualitative method since it is a more “scientific” method. Read Labuschagne’s article (2003) and reflect: Do you agree it is true? Why or why not?
The expectation for satisfactory work is 400 – 500 words per topic with at least 2 current peer reviewed references utilized. Textbooks, blogs, magazine or internet articles, book chapters, or special reports, do not count toward the peer-reviewed minimum. Connections to the peer reviewed references should be used throughout your writing with in-text citations and matching reference citations.
For your reference, I am a healthy, white 34-year old female from Kentucky. I am extremely active and spend a lot of time working out and eating healthy food. Also, I am a college professor in the Exercise Science department and own an online fitness and nutrition coaching business.
I have attached the book chapters and recommended resources to elaborate on the assignment expectations. Make sure to provide substantial evidence from scholarly resources and refrain from making generalized statements. Textbooks, blogs, magazine or internet articles, book chapters, or special reports, do not count toward scholarly resources.
