Three Abbreviated Research Plans
Over the past three weeks, you had focus on a specific approach culminating in a refined document:
Week 8, you had developed an abbreviated quantitative research plan and submitted the draft for instructor feedback.
In Week 9, you had developed an abbreviated qualitative research plan and submitted the draft for instructor feedback.
In Week 10, you had developed an abbreviated mixed methods research plan and submitted the draft for instructor feedback.
Finally, this week, Week 11, you will refine your three abbreviated research plans and submit them to your instructor in a single document. You will include at the end of this document a 2- to 3- page comparison and evaluation of the strengths and limitations of each of the three research methods—quantitative, qualitative, and mixed.
In a single document submit:
Your three finalized abbreviated research plans (6 to 9 pages total) in which you do the following for each plan:
Provide an introduction.
Provide a purpose statement.
Provide viable research questions and hypotheses (where applicable).
Generate written research plans that address the questions that were associated with each respective Abbreviated research plan (Quantitative, Qualitative, and Mixed Method). (Questions are attached below).
Craft a 2- to 3-page comparison and evaluation of the strengths and limitations of each of the three research methods based upon your work with each method.
2-3 page comparision:
You will include a comparison of these three approaches in the first part of your paper, and then include the individual (3) research plans: quantitative, qualitative, and mixed method. It would be preferable to have your front end discussion of the pros and cons of each of your three methods directly linked to your three research plans. That is, don't merely talk in general about these three methodologies. You have already done that in the discussion posts. Critique them in reference to your three research plans. This will take a bit more thought on your part. It's relatively easy to just generalize about these three approaches; but discussing them in reference to the development of your qual, quan, and mixed method abbreviated research plans is more useful. That is, what were some of the pros and cons of using a qualitative approach in your proposed qualitative research plan as opposed to using a quantitative or mixed method approach? That's the kind of stuff you want to address here in this section. Be sure and include the feedback I provided to you in your papers when I returned them to you.
Keep in mind that this will be one (1) file that includes the comparison of all three approaches you used in your plans (make sure you focus this discussion specifically on your three abbreviated plans; in other words, don't just discuss these three approaches in general but in relation to your plans), and your three abbreviated plans that have been revised according to my feedback. (Feedback from the instructor is on located on the right side of the paper). All three papers with instructor feedback are attached below.
