I would prefer writer that had completed part 1 of this piece of work which was 81485954.
This is about Qualitative Research Design
The Topic is Families of people with disability
“Relieving the experience of lone family members. Offering disability support services”
For this assignment I have chosen An Interpretive phenomenological methodology to provide framework for this design.
I have attached what is required of this assignment and also an exampler.
. Also I have provided here with the feedback I got so hopefully we can improve on these
7018 Assignment 1 Marking Criteria
Total marks: 45
Weighted at 40%: 18
Introduction 300 words (8/10 marks)
• Opening paragraph which identifies the aim of the assignment.
• Second paragraph that contextualises the topic
Good introduction. Consider offering an operational definition of disability support services, including how they are usually provided in this jurisdiction or country.
Identification of issues or problems (3/15 marks)
• Application of qualitative research principles to the chosen topic
• The research problems/questions framed are consistent with selected methodologies
The identification of issues is variable and none appear to be related to the description of disability services for families provided in the introduction. Interpretive phenomenology is appropriate for the topic of individual experiences of the phenomenon of providing care. The specific detail of the phenomenon reduces the strength of the argument that interpretive phenomenology is the right approach. The identification of families as a group is good, but how this constitutes a culture that can be subjected to ethnographic study requires further development. There are several unsupported assumptions in section 2. The issue for the third section, PAR, is not clearly described. There is an operational definition for critical incidents but limited discussion about who is involved in analysis of incidents and practice development.
Significance (3/15 marks)
• Significance for research problems/questions is explained
• Demonstrates a thorough understanding of the theoretical underpinnings of the described methodologies
The significance of the problems identified for research are not clearly explained, and therefore justification of methodologies is limited. The significance of the problem of single carers is not addressed. The numbers of single carers, and the proportion of all carers who are single would be worth noting. Also, provide a list of the challenges and outcomes for the person with disability and the carer if the single carer is not adequately supported in service provision. The significance of family carers function/ culture is not established. The lack of operational definition of the group/culture reduces the argument for ethnography as a useful research methodology. For PAR, the significance of critical events in this population is not established – how are they reported, how many are recorded, what is the nature of the specific events of interest for the selected research community?
Methodological principles (9/15 marks)
• Research methodologies are clearly identified, explained and justified
• Demonstrates understanding of how methodological principles guide research
The principles for interpretive phenomenology are conceptually described. The principles for critical ethnography are not well described conceptually, leading to incorrect application to the case. The critical ethnography methodology is described but with little evidence to support claims however there is evidence of critical analysis in making the model work for the problem. The PAR methodology is described at a highly abstract level.
Evaluation and recommendations (5/15 marks)
• Understands the nature of knowledge produced by qualitative methodologies
• Draws on a wide range of methodological literature
The nature of knowledge produced by the methodologies is not specifically discussed. Rather, a more general, abstract statement about benefits is provided for the first methodology but not for the others.
Conclusion 250 words (5/10 marks)
