In this module we expanded our knowledge about qualitative methodology.
Type of Study: Qualitative
Type of Study:
Research Topic:
Purpose of the Study:
Theoretical Framework: (Identify the theoretical/conceptual framework)
Specific Research Questions/ Philosophical Underpinnings:
Sample:
Qualitative Research method design: case study, ethnography, phenomenology, document reviews, etc.
Procedure/Paradigms: (How was the data collected? What was the sampling strategy used?)
Variables/Concepts: What was examined in this research?

Assignment 2: Quantitative Methodology
Your research question may or may not be appropriately answered using Quantitative Research methodology. In this assignment you will apply what you have learned about quantitative methodology from the readings and the Assignment 1 discussion to your own research question. If your research question is best answered using Quantitative methodology, stick with it and complete the critique below. If not, how might you alter your question so that it may be answered using quantitative methodology? Although research is driven by questions, for this assignment we are going to turn it around so we may explore the benefits and differences of various types of methodologies. Adjust your question to fit a quantitative design and complete the critique below.
For example: The question "What are the perceptions of students regarding their experiences with faculty mentors" is best answered by gathering qualitative data through unstructured interviews via email correspondence. This question could become a quantitative question by altering the question to "What types of interactions do students value most with their faculty mentors?" To answer this quantitative question we could survey 250 students using an instrument identifying 15 functions of a faculty mentor on a likert scale (very helpful to not helpful).
