our team is currently on the process of creating a qualitative research proposal on the fake news vulnerability and fact-checking habits of the students at our high school. we plan to collect the data that we need through focus group discussions, where we will ask how our peers discern the truthfulness of a source and how they fact-check information. but we are confused with the following aspects: 1. what is the most appropriate research design for our research? if it is a case study, then what type is it? 2. and what thematic analysis method should we use for our methods? because our teacher said that Colaizzi's method of thematic analysis can only be applied to phenomenological studies, but ours is probably not that.
