1.Qualitative research designs are used to answer different types of research questions and to explore different aspects of human experience. Grand Canyon University (GCU) has a set of qualitative core designs, found on the DC Network. Review the GCU Qualitative Core Designs Document so you can contrast the GCU qualitative core designs. What are the defining characteristics of each design? How do they differ from one another? What are some advantages and disadvantages of each design? How might researchers select the most appropriate design for their research question? Support your view.
2.A researcher is interested in studying how college students describe the influence of physical activity on their life satisfaction. The researcher plans to interview a sample of college students and have them journal daily about their exercise and life satisfaction for two weeks. Using this scenario, which GCU qualitative core designs do you think would be most appropriate for this research problem? Why? Create and provide two examples of research questions that could be addressed using the design you selected. What might the advantages and challenges be of using the identified design for this scenario? Explain.
