Qualitative Research Questions
Not what you're looking for?
I am working on a study project and need some assistance with the research questions. The research study is on Early Childhood Educators and their experiences with father involvement. The study is qualitative and I will be interviewing early childhood teachers, teachers, and education coordinators in an early childhood program. I have research questions that I have submitted but received comments that requires adjusting. I need another perspective on how to approach the questions as it relates to the study and comments received based on my original questions which are:
1.What is a general day like in your program at you interact with parents?
Comment: This needs to focus more on the fathers-the point is not to compare between mothers and fathers, the point is to explore explore experiences with fathers.
2. Can you describe a child that feels very comfortable in school? What does this child typically do? How does that child interact with his/her parents"
Comment: Not sure what this has to do with father involvement? This sounds like quantitative and like father involvement with a child feeling comfortable.
3. Can you describe your thoughts about father involvement and their children's learning?
Comment: This is unclear. Do you mean what they see at work---or what they think the involvement should be?
The portioby comment is what needs to be reviewed to correct the questions. I need assistance on re-phrasing the questions to meet the research needs.
