Btm7303 research methods week 11

LAST WEEKS FEEDBACK IS ATTACHED! PLEASE USE THIS FEEDBACK FOR THIS WEEKS ASSIGNMENT!

 

Researchers frequently employ standardized instruments to collect data associated with a variable of interest. In such cases, it is helpful to have served in the role of participant before making research decisions relating to measurement. If researchers are able to identify with and put themselves in the place of the participant while designing research methods, the participation can have a positive impact. For example, as the researcher, it might make sense to include a lot of instruments in the same packet for participants to complete so that you can get as much data as possible. However, if you have completed instruments yourself and can put yourself in the place of the participant, you might realize that participants can become tired and pay less attention to items or even stop responding when they have to complete too many instruments. In such cases, there might be missing or misleading data, which is not helpful to you as the researcher.

To gain a greater understanding of the perspective of the participant, you will complete several quantitative instruments relating to your experience as a doctoral student at Northcentral University. Please answer each completely and honestly.

As you learned in this course, phenomena can be investigated using quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methodologies based on the problem under investigation, the purpose, and the corresponding research questions. Therefore, you will also answer open-ended questions that tap into the same constructs as the questionnaires that you completed. This will offer you experience as a participant in collecting qualitative data as well as demonstrate how phenomena can be explored using varied methodologies. However, it is worth noting that collecting qualitative data electronically comes with a number of limitations that should always be strongly considered when determining whether to collect qualitative data in person or not.

Finally, based on your experiences in completing this assignment, address the following:

  • What did you think of the length of each survey instrument? Was there a point at which you began to feel tired or paid less attention to the items?
  • What did you think of the open-ended questions? Were they clear? Did they seem leading?  Did they seem concise or too wordy?
  • Did you prefer completing the closed questions (or multiple-choice questions) or the open-ended questions? Why?
  • Which methodology do you believe is most useful in the examination of each variable/construct? Why?
  • How might this experience influence you when designing your own research?

Length: 3-5 pages

Your paper should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards.
