Research Design Project: Qualitative, Action Research, and Mixed Methods Analysis Matrix Instructions

Overview

The main assignments for this course are wrapped into the Research Design Project. This project has three pre-matrix tables that will inform three matrices. Each table and matrix address basic and applied research that is quantitative, qualitative, mixed methods, action research and/or program evaluation. For each table, you will be finding education research articles on the same topic using the specified research design(s). For the matrices, you will be identifying methods information and critiquing the studies. This assignment helps you learn how to evaluate research, identify the main components of good research, and start building your literature review.

Instructions

For this RDP: Qualitative, Action Research, and Mixed Methods Analysis Matrix, you will use the following articles from the RDP: Sampling, Measurement, and Data Collection Type Matrix

  • QUALtitative Basic (QUAL-B)
  • Action Research (AR-QUAL)
  • Mixed Methods Basic (MM-B)

Using the RDP: Qualitative, Action Research, and Mixed Methods Analysis Matrix Template, provide the following information for each research design:

NOTE: You may NOT use AI for this assignment. You should write in complete sentences. You must provide page/paragraph numbers to support parts 3, 4, and 5.

  • Article Type
  • Article Reference
  • Results- Provide detailed information.
  • Limitations
  • Implications
  • Other than researchers, who can use the information from the findings and how? (school districts, principals, teachers, parents, etc.)
  • Ideas for Future Research Not Already Listed
  • Your connection or experience (previous or present) with topic/issue in study (not that you will be researching it)
  • How you will be able to use this article in your future research
  • Biblical connections you can make with the findings of the study (Must integrate at least one Bible verse in your answer)
  • References (for biblical support)

a.Qualitative and Action Research-give all themes, analyses, etc. and a laymans understanding of the results.

b.Mixed Methods- give information qualitatively (see 3a) and quantitatively (statistical findings and a laymans understanding of the results)

Current APA formatting is expected throughout your paper. The Sample Research Design Project Qualitative, Action Research, and Mixed Methods Analysis Matrix has been provided for your reference. Any sections requiring textbook support must use the textbook from this course.

Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.
