Case studies in research design

/in ,

Students are required to make main posts (three to four paragraphs) that address the specific discussion and peer review posts (responses to his or her classmates’ posts that are two to three paragraphs each).  All posts must utilize and cite material from the unit’s course information/readings, including complete internal citations and a reference list.  Each post is worth 8 points.

What are substantive postings? Substantive postings include:

Responding to discussion questions as well as discourse between students related to subject matter within the course. This includes posting responses to others’ answers within a Discussion Area. A response may express agreement with or challenge to the point of view expressed, supported by references (citations) to the text or lecture.
Contributing to the discussion based upon course content, theory, or personal experiences, not simply personal opinion.

This unit students are required to make one main post in each of the discussion questions, with one peer review post in either question (3 total posts- 2 main and 1 peer).

Ethical Research

/in

As we begin to learn about research we should study-examine and discuss the below topical areas.

1. What is the role and importance of ethical research and how does it impact issues within your current job

2. What types of common research methods are generally applied in scholarly research proposals and what criteria generally applies to the particular issue(s) under investigation for a study

3. Explain the importance of ethics within any research proposal and explain the reasoning for methods and integrity in the concept, design and application of a proposed research study as well as protecting any participants.

As researchers, it is important to underscore the methods and required provisions in research and the human subject protections outlined within the study.

Part One: For this weeks DB, complete do your own investigation and answer questions 1-3 above.

Part Two: Complete a search of U.S. Department of Justice Press Releases and locate at least 3 real world examples of unethical-illegal conduct on research fraud.

Data and outcomes via research

/in

Hi everyone,

We will find gaps in research (problem statements) for all sorts of activities in life, social structures and in the workplace.

Let’s examine what-how will our research work today could impact society say 5-10-25-50 and 100 years from now and are there hidden gaps and mysteries/secrets that will unveil more evidence that we are unable to find today.

We should recognize few studies if any are able to answer all possible issues today and into the future, we note these as limitations to the research study under examination.

Many times, gaps are opportunities to seek ways to bridge those gaps, by examining data and research to find creative ways to improve situations.

Societal issues always seem to draw considerable attention and folks like the process of cultivating hope. We understand the term hope is a choice as we can change thinking by examining data and outcomes via research.

We will observe that to make the necessary public policy change (statements) we find the importance of applied research to tackle the issue under investigation.

This weeks DB assignment, seek out a scholarly research topic that interests you (encouraged to apply the topic to your current job-profession) and develop a problem statement for your job and how can apply-use the research data on a current issue-problem to your current career-profession.

Strained Research

/in ,

Assessment Description

Review “Case 3.1: A Strained Research Team,” located in Chapter 3 of the textbook, Leadership: Theory and Practice. Post a 250-300 word response to the questions located at the end of the case. In your response, be sure to address the strengths and weaknesses of the three-skill approach in this situation.

Reliability and Validity

/in

However, in scholarly research, the rules are more strict and we are required to follow protocols so the data is as accurate and it can be applied to our issue under investigation.

Here is our DB discussion topic:

For this weeks assignment, please indicate two types of reliability (e.g., test-retest) and one type of validity (e.g., concurrent) and provide a definition of each then an example of when and how it would be applied in a research scenario. You are encouraged to apply this topic to your current job or profession.

Be sure to respond to at least 2 of your classmates’ posts.
