In the first assignment students were asked to situate themselves within a research approach (quantitative, qualitative, mixed methods, arts‐based, or community‐based participatory research approach).
In the final assignment students are now tasked with going a level deeper to explore a methodology and methods that support a specific research interest. Students are asked to briefly introduce their specific research interest to provide context for the following:
articulate their philosophical perspective (ontology)
situate themselves within a research approach and identify a methodology that would support an inquiry into their research interest (epistemology)
conduct a literature review on a particular research methodology
explore possible methods that would align with their methodology and support their inquiry
discuss the strengths and limitations of their methodology
include a discussion of researcher’s role and research/er integrity
NOTE: Students provide a brief overview of their general research curiosity only to provide context for their developing framework.
THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK IS THE FOCUS OF THE ASSIGNMENT.
Your written report should be approximately 3500 words (including references), be in APA format, and appropriately referenced. This paper requires a title page but not an abstract.
