Using the Learning Resources and other academic sources you found, expand on this simple statement. In 3-4 paragraphs, explain several dimensions of this paradigm that make qualitative research interesting and unique. Be sure to use the terminology you are learning (including but not limited to "phenomena", "constructivist," and "naturalistic"), and provide historical context.
The response must include a reference list. Using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, double-space, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
