Research Design and Measurement

Research Design and Measurement

This Forum includes several steps:

 

  • Identify a topic of interest and write a research question, based on your topic of interest, that specifically looks at the relationship between two variables.  
  • Specify the unit of analysis in your research question.  
  • Identify the two variables in your research problem – include: which is the independent variable (IV) and which is the dependent variable (DV); and specify the variable 'type' i.e. categorical/nominal; continuous/interval.
  • Provide an operational definition for each of your two variables. (if this is really difficult, your variable is not specific enough, and you should further narrow your variable and research problem).  
  • Write a hypothesis for your research question/problem (i.e. what direction do you think the relationship between your two variables will be)
  • APA

Critiquing Quantitative, Qualitative, or Mixed Methods Studies

Assignment: Critiquing Quantitative, Qualitative, or Mixed Methods Studies Critiquing the validity and robustness of research featured in journal articles provides a critical foundation for engaging in evidence-based practice. In Weeks 5 and 6, you explored quantitative research designs. In Week 7, you will examine qualitative and mixed methods research designs. For this Assignment, which is due by Day 7 of Week 7, you critique a quantitative and either a qualitative or a mixed methods research study and compare the types of information obtained in each. To prepare: • Select a health topic of interest to you that is relevant to your current area of Nursing practice. • Locate two articles in scholarly journals that deal with your topic: 1) Select one article that utilizes a quantitative research design and 2) select a second article that utilizes either a qualitative OR a mixed methods design. These need to be single studies not systematic or integrative reviews (including meta-analysis and metasynthesis). You may use research articles from your reference list. If you cannot find these two types of research on your portfolio topic, you may choose another topic. • Locate the following documents in this week’s Learning Resources to access the appropriate templates, which will guide your critique of each article: Document: Critique Template for a Qualitative Study (Word document)   Note: You will use this document to complete this week’s Assignment. Document: Critique Template for a Quantitative Study (Word document)   Note: You will use this document to complete this week’s Assignment. Document: Critique Template for a Mixed-Methods Study (Word document)   Note: You will use this document to complete this week’s Assignment. • Consider the fields in the templates as you review the information in each article. Begin to draft a paper in which you analyze the two research approaches as indicated below. Reflect on the overall value of both quantitative and qualitative research. If someone were to say to you, “Qualitative research is not real science,” how would you respond? To complete this Assignment: • Complete the two critiques using the appropriate templates. • Write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following: • Contrast the types of information that you gained from examining the two different research approaches in the articles that you selected. o Describe the general advantages and disadvantages of the two research approaches featured in the articles. Use examples from the articles for support. o Formulate a response to the claim that qualitative research is not real science. Highlight the general insights that both quantitative and qualitative studies can provide to researchers. Support your response with references to the Learning Resources and other credible sources. • Combine all three parts of this assignment into one Word document including both critique templates and the narrative with your references. Submit this combined document. This is how the Paper should be Presented: Brief introduction is needed. Use Headings Related to Each Topic to Discuss Now you can write 8-10 statements about the topic here. Be sure to add support throughout! Continue to Use Headings to Discuss Each Topic Continue to address the next topic. Be sure to use good transition statements as you proceed.

 • Chapter 11, “Specific Types of Quantitative Research” This chapter focuses on the specific types of quantitative research that can be selected.
