  • Qualitative Study Part II: Written Analysis

    This assignment is a small qualitative research project. We have to pick a domain of occupation (Which I did for Part 1) and then narrow it down to (1 specific activity) Within that domain.

    After that, we create one research question about that activity.

    Then we have to interview about 45 people using at least 4 open-ended questions

    (Which I did for Part 1)

    The questions should ask about their experiences with that activity, how often they do it, what it means to them, and any challenges they have.

    After we collect their answers, we analyze the responses by looking for patterns or themes in what people say.

    For example, if several people mention stress relief, routine, or motivation, those become themes.

    Then we write a short paper using the template

    Using Method Project Part 1

    The paper Must include

    Introduction explain the occupation and the research question

    Personal reflection our own thoughts before interviewing people

    Methods who we interviewed and how we did the interviews

    Results the themes we found from their answers with quotes

    Discussion what we learned and how it relates to occupational therapy

    Limitations what the study may have missed or what could be improved

    Basically, the goal is to understand how people experience everyday activities and analyze their responses, similar to how OTs learn about clients daily occupations.

  • Power Point Presentation

    Assessment 1: Thesis Proposal (2500 words equivalent) For this assessment we would like you to create and deliver a narrated presentation (PowerPoint or similar) articulating and justifying your proposed study. The presentation you deliver should be between 5 and 10 minutes long, with 5 minutes reserved for questioning from the member of academic staff you will be presenting to afterwards. The sections below will become the starting point for the chapters in your actual thesis so please use them to scaffold the content you present and discuss. Please include the following in your powerpoint slides (or equivalent) or your narration. It will not be possible to cover all the below in detail on your slides, so please use the slides to give headline information and use your narration to give more detail and critically justify your choices in planning your study: A carefully crafted title or overarching research question which sums up your topic very clearly and precisely in an unbiased way. A rationale for your question (why have you chosen it?). You will be expected to outline the main reasons why this topic is an important one to study (e.g. professional or educational reasons as well as literature-informed reasons). You should also provide some contextual information (background, setting, social/political considerations). Although your rationale may include some personal reasons for your interest in the topic, you will need to use literature to support your rationale in order to validate it. Key aims of your research and the contribution it will make to this area. (An extended version of this will become Chapter 1: Introduction to your actual thesis). Aim to provide 2 or 3 key aims/research questions, usually in bullet-points, which will act as a roadmap for your study. By the end of your study, you should have been able to clearly address each of the aims outlined. Be mindful of the time you will have to complete your thesis (around 6 months) and, therefore, the limited time you will have to collect data. Review of key literature on your chosen question. Aim to compare and contrast arguments from current/previous research on this topic (include definitions of any key concepts/words, any exclusions). You are aiming to provide the assessor with an overview of the current literature that exists in this field. (An extended, written version of this will become Chapter 2: Literature Review in your thesis). Methodology: We will be expecting you to justify your own decision-making around the methodological choices you have made for your study. Try to make a comment about your chosen paradigm (or philosophical approach). We expect you to define and justify your methodological approach, data collection methods and any ethical considerations, making consistent references to methodological literature to support your decisions. You must be very clear which methods have you chosen, how many participants are involved, how will you select them, and why, how long will interviews be, how many observations do you plan to conduct, etc.? You might also like to include why you have not chosen a particular method, making links to your research aims to show why a decision to include or exclude a certain approach was appropriate always using literature to support your arguments. Analysis: Justify how you will analyse your data. Discuss areas such as triangulation, validity, integrity, credibility and refer to literature to support your discussion. An extended version of the two previous sections will become your Chapter 3: Methodology in your thesis. Reference List: Please provide a full reference list of the citations used within your presentation at the end, referenced according to Harvard Referencing conventions.

  • Developing Foundational Research Components Assignment Instr…

    Developing Foundational Research Components Assignment Instructions Overview The problem frame is the cornerstone or foundation upon which credible and robust research is built. It provides the significance and justification for designing and conducting a research effort to expand knowledge, replicate, or challenge findings in the existing body of scholarly peer-reviewed research. Unless a research problem is clearly defined with an open and fair mind and minimal bias, the chances of a research question enhancing knowledge and understanding of the topic of inquiry are rendered redundant. The nature of the problem and the umbrella question crafted to address it also drive the design and methodology of the inquiry. Instructions For this assignment, the student will draw upon earlier learning to conduct further independent research to find a scholarly peer-reviewed journal article (published within the last 5 years that identifies an organization and management or business-related topic of your choosing) related to your cognate. This will serve as the foundation of your paper. To successfully complete this assignment, please complete the template (provided below) to identify and discuss each component with the stipulated citations and word count restraints that discuss the components in depth logically and coherently. The paper should include an unbiased, deep discussion on the reason for proposing further research based on the single main article that has laid the ground for future research. Please reference the Developing Foundational Research Components Template as you complete this assignment. Length: A minimum of 4 pages. Page length excludes the title page and references. Do not cite block and direct quotes for the problem frame paper, although a verse is acceptable for the biblical integration paragraph. Format: Current APA format and style required. Sources: A minimum of 4 supporting citations and two alternative perspectives from other peer-reviewed scholarly journal articles are required for a balanced, unbiased approach (6 peer-reviewed journal articles total). If citing a seminal theory, that is acceptable, though only do so minimally. Biblical Integration: Please include an integrated paragraph with transitional phrases covering two biblical verses related to the problem. Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.
