What is it? <\/strong><\/h4>\n

The research question and methods paper provides you the opportunity
\nto expand upon the knowledge you gained in SOC 331 in forming a research
\n question, performing empirical research using the library databases,
\nand APA style. In addition, this paper allows you to develop knowledge
\naround how best to employ an appropriate research method for your chosen
\n topic.<\/p>\n

What is this assignment about?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

This paper is your opportunity to demonstrate your ability to
\ncritically think through the creation of a research question and
\ndiscussion of the methodology of your choosing. It will also provide you
\n with the opportunity to continue to expand your knowledge of APA style.<\/p>\n

To successfully complete this assignment, include the following elements:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • A 6-8 page paper in APA style in which you create a
    \nresearch question based on your topic of interest, but also related to
    \nthe disciplines within the behavioral sciences.<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n
  • In this paper, create a research question and explain what specific
    \ntype of research method you would use if you were to conduct research to
    \n answer your research question. Do not conduct any research.<\/em> <\/strong>Be
    \n sure to explain why you would choose this method and how it is better
    \nthan some of the other methods for answering your question.<\/li>\n
  • In addition, discuss the strengths and weaknesses of your proposed research method<\/em>,
    \n and use citations from the textbook. This will be the \u201cheart\u201d of this
    \npaper. Be sure to explain this section in detail and provide specific
    \nexamples. Relate the strengths and weaknesses to your topic, and how, as
    \n a researcher, you would compensate for any weaknesses.<\/li>\n
  • Keep in mind that research methods are not right or wrong, just
    \nappropriate or not appropriate for answering the research question.<\/li>\n
  • Explain the ethical considerations to keep in mind if you were to
    \nconduct research on your chosen topic. How would you address
    \nconfidentiality and anonymity (Hint: You can’t have both)? How would you
    \n protect your subjects or participants?<\/li>\n
  • You will also be expected to briefly summarize and cite from a minimum of five (5) scholarly articles and the textbook<\/strong>.
    \n Minimum means that you have met this requirement for the assignment,
    \nwhich equates to a letter grade of C (satisfactory) for this rubric
    \ncategory.<\/li>\n
  • You may use other high quality non-scholarly sources.<\/li>\n
  • You may use any resources in this Canvas site.<\/li>\n
  • A good paper would \u201cweave in” specific examples from all of your
    \nsources into the text of your paper. Be sure to connect the scholarly
    \narticles to what you have to say about your chosen research method.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    How will learning to write a research methods paper help me in my future career?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    In much of your professional life, you will be asked by your
    \nsupervisor, clients or funders: how is the program doing or what
    \ncan\/should we do differently? While they may be interested in what you
    \nthink, they will very interested in what you know, especially if you can
    \n back up your opinion with facts, literature based theory, statistics,
    \nand\/or logical reasoning.  Anyone can have opinions, but those that
    \nreally matter are ones that are well-thought out, backed up by existing
    \nliterature, and developed through the deployment of rigorous research.
    \nBeing able to do research into a problem or evaluate an existing program
    \n will distinguish you from those who cannot.<\/p>\n

    How do I write a good Research Proposal  paper? <\/strong><\/h4>\n

    The best way to approach this assignment is to first create your
    \nresearch question and then concentrate on finding your sources so that
    \nyou can see how others are researching your topic and the ethical
    \nconsiderations surrounding it.<\/p>\n

    Next, spend the bulk of your time discussing how you would conduct
    \nthe research. A good place to start is to consider your methodology\u2026will
    \n you employ a Quantitative or Qualitative Methodology? Then, think
    \nabout  data collection methods\u2026i.e.: interviews, surveys, or
    \nobservations. Finish up by continuing to add details about your methods.
    \n There is no need to reinvent the wheel. For example, if everyone who
    \ndoes research on your topic is using case study methodology, that is a
    \nhuge clue that you should probably be using this methodology for your
    \npaper. If you have any questions or need some guidance, please contact
    \nyour instructor.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
