Discussion Post: Research Design Methods & Applications
Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 400 to 600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.
The discussion includes a review of your fellow classmates' research questions for their topic, survey questions, and hypothesis or statement of the problem for the research question. Review at least 1 student and provide feedback on what was done well and possible areas of improvement.
You presented your research topic and shared ethical considerations for your selected topic. In developing your plan for the Unit 4 Individual Project, there are additional considerations such as the survey questions that will gather the information needed to complete your research study. There are two types of research questions- qualitative and quantitative.
Qualitative research questions are about human perceptions, descriptions, stories, or lived experiences. For example, do ABC IT employees assigned as full-time prefer to work remotely or to work in the office?
Quantitative research questions are numbers-based. For example, how does the amount of news intake correlate to anxiety levels?
Create Your Survey
Building on your research topic identified in the discussion post complete the following:
I. Identify your research method (i.e., qualitative or quantitative), and write 1 research question regarding that topic in preparation.
II. Based on your chosen research method, write your hypothesis or statement of the problem for your research question.
III. Based on your chosen research method, create 3-5 survey or interview questions that could help answer your research question.
