Checking for Trustworthiness

This week, you will continue preparing for your field test by considering how to ensure trustworthiness in your study and reviewing your interview protocol in context. In your post, respond to the following: Define credibility, dependability, transferability, and confirmability in your own words, drawing from this weeks readings or other scholarly sources. Then explain why these four dimensions are important in qualitative research and describe how you plan to apply them to your own data collection and analysis. Identify who you plan to include in your field test and explain why you selected this individual or group. Your explanation should reflect the purpose of the field test as a practice activity, one that is not covered by IRB and not generating usable data, and should connect to the logic of your study design. After reviewing the Interview Protocol Template, share any questions or concerns you have about the structure, sequencing, or use of the protocol in practice. Your post should be a minimum of 300 words. Remember to follow the Discussion Question Standards. Use APA formatting for in-text citations and include a minimum of two scholarly references from this weeks readings.
