Methodology

D​‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍​iscussion: Methodology A quantitative study can be based on an experimental design, where an intervention is administered to one group and then compared to a control group. Please note that Walden University’s IRB may have concerns about conducting an intervention within an education setting, so do reach out to their office hours for additional guidance, see https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/research-center/research-ethics/office-hours. A qualitative study can be based on participants’ answers to interview questions. A mixed methods study may have elements of both, applied to the same group of participants sequentially. Please note that a mixed method study not only requires you to be knowledgeable in two methodologies (rather than one) but also understand how ​‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍​to combine the data, so do consult with the ORDS methodologists, see https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/srch.php?q=office+hours and your committee before finalizing your choice of design. With any methodology, the design must adhere to the requirements in the appropriate checklist. This week, you examine a doctoral study and evaluate it based on the correct checklist. To Prepare Review the Learning Resources. Identify and consider the methodology used in the doctoral study you have examined, and compare it to the checklist. To Complete By Day 5 of Week 7 Post an analysis of the alignment with the design in the doctoral study you have examined. Explain how the methodology aligns with the other elements of the doctoral study. Use scholarly tone and APA s​‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍​tyle.
