Research Methods
Qualitative research
Just as in quantitative research, when researchers set out to design a qualitative research study, they are guided by its purpose, and their research questions align with their selected approach and the data that will be collected.
As you learned in previous weeks, alignment means that a research study possesses clear and logical connections among all of its various components. In addition to considering alignment, qualitative researchers must also consider the ethical implications of their design choice, including, for example, what their choice means for participant recruitment, procedures, and privacy.
For this Discussion, you will evaluate qualitative research questions in assigned journal articles in your discipline and consider the alignment of theory, problem, purpose, research questions, and design. You will also identify the type of qualitative research design or approach the authors used and explain how it was implemented. Narrative, ethnographic, grounded theory, case study, and phenomenology are examples of types of research designs or approaches used in qualitative research.
Comprehensively
This discussion will force you to think ‘comprehensively’ about 2 issues. Thoroughly explain your responses as if this was a written exam.
1. Individuals make decisions every day. They make decisions based on their assumptions about the world, only to find out later that the assumptions were incorrect. Can you think of times when you have made a type I error? What about a situation when a type II error was made? Describe both situations and how you know or would describe why they were a T1 or T2 error.
Research design and methodology
In the video in the Activity “Viva La Library” the singer sings about how he has evolved as a researcher. There are several pointers given for finding strong sources. How do you think these pointers improve research? Please explain. Next, describe a time where you didn’t follow these tips while doing research and you were steered in the wrong direction. How did this instance encourage you to change your research methods in the future?
WHAT IS A RESEARCH QUESTION
Viva La Library
Introduction
From finding the right source for your research paper to investigating what car you should purchase, information literacy is a skill we use not only in our professional lives, but our personal lives as well. It is the ability to identify and define a problem and then assess what information you will need to
Phenomenological methodology
Explain the concept of phenomenological methodology. How is research conducted using this method?
Research this topic both in your textbook and in at least three additional sources. Write a scholarly article in APA format containing 300 to 400 words.
Problem statement and research
Begin your discussion by sharing your problem statement and research question. Next, discuss your sampling plan. In addition, discuss your research design. Consider the following as you craft your response.
Sampling
How will the sample be selected?
What type of sampling method is used? Is it appropriate to the design?
Does the sample reflect the population as identified in the problem or purpose statement?
Is the sample size appropriate? Why or why not?
To what population may the findings be generalized? What are the limitations in generalizability?
Research design
What type of design will be used?
Does the design seem to flow from the proposed research problem, theoretical framework, literature review, and hypothesis?
