Alignment and Social Change Discussion
In the context of research, alignment and social change will be important topics to return to as you prepare for the next courses in the research sequence and continue your development as a scholar-practitioner.
Consider, for example, what criteria are used in your discipline to evaluate alignment of research components. And in what way will your future research contribute to your identity as scholar-practitioner who is dedicated to positive social change?
For this Discussion, you will consider criteria for evaluating alignment among the various components of a research study. You will also reflect on your role as a positive social change agent through research.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post an explanation of the criteria you could use to evaluate alignment between data collection methods and other research components, such as the problem, purpose, research questions, and design. Then, reflecting on the course content, discuss the extent to which your newly acquired research knowledge and skills can support your role as an agent of positive social change. Be specific and provide an example(s).
Be sure to support your Main Issue Post and Response Post with reference to the week’s Learning Resources and other scholarly evidence in APA Style.

Answer preview
Alignment is the foundation for a strong research project aimed to promote positive social change. Establishing the criteria to evaluate the alignment between data collection methods and other research components, such as the problem, purpose, research questions, and design, is crucial. My criteria would be using evaluation factors like credibility and validity to ensure that the research components are aligned with the ethical standards and practices (Mårtensson et al., 2016). Analyzing the credibility of the study will help me determine if the research method promotes trustworthiness. Furthermore, establishing the validity of the data collection approaches would influence strategic inferences during the research process. Generally, Mårtensson et al. (2016) inform that researchers have the task of developing credible
