Quality Rating for Qualitative Studies
High/Good Quality The report discusses efforts to enhance or evaluate the quality of the data and the overall inquiry in sufficient detail, and it describes the specific techniques used to enhance the quality of the inquiry.
Evidence of some or all of the following is found in the report:
Transparency: Describes how information was documented to justify decisions, how data were reviewed by others, and how themes and categories were formulated.
Diligence: Reads and rereads data to check interpretations; seeks opportunity to find multiple sources to corroborate evidence.
Verification: The process of checking, confirming, and ensuring methodologic coherence.
Self-reflection and self-scrutiny: Being continuously aware of how a researcher’s experiences, background, or prejudices might shape and bias analysis and interpretations.
Participant-driven inquiry: Participants shape the scope and breadth of questions; analysis and interpretation give voice to those who participated.
Insightful interpretation: Data and knowledge are linked in meaningful ways to relevant literature.
Low Quality The study contributes little to the overall review of findings and has few, if any, of the features listed for High/Good quality.
This critique will be written as a formal APA paper with appropriate headings to separate major concepts within the paper. The paper should address the questions listed above, but students should not write in a question/answer format. In other words, do not include the questions in your paper. Instead, use the paper to narratively answer the questions above and provide a comprehensive critique of your chosen study.
You must also submit a copy of the qualitative article you critiqued with the paper.
