Research Design Project: Sampling, Measurement, and Data Collection Type Matrix Assignment Instructions

Overview

The main assignments for this course are wrapped into the Research Design Project. This project has three pre-matrices that will inform three matrices. Each pre-matrix and matrix addresses basic and applied research that is quantitative, qualitative, mixed methods, action research, and/or program evaluation. For each pre-matrix, you will find peer-reviewed education research articles on the same topic using the specified research design(s). For the matrices, you will identify methods, information, and critique the studies. This assignment helps you learn how to evaluate research, identify the main components of good research, and start building your literature review. You will use the approved articles from Modules 2-4 to complete the assignments in Modules 5-7.

Instructions

For this RDP: Sampling, Measurement, and Data Collection Type Matrix assignment, you will use the following articles that you identified and had approved in the three pre-matrix tables.

1. From the RDP: Quantitative Pre-Matrix

a. Select 1 QUANtitative Basic (QUAN-B)

b. Select 1 QUANtitave Applied (QUAN-A)

2. From the RDP: Qualitative and Mixed Methods Pre-Matrix

a. QUALitative Applied (QUAL-A)

b. Mixed Methods Applied (MM-A)

3. From the RDP: Action Research and Program Evaluation Pre-Matrix

a. Action Research (Student Choice)

b. Program Evaluation (Student Choice)

For each research article, you will provide the following information using the RDP: Sampling, Measurement, and Data Collection Type Matrix Template:

NOTE: You may NOT use AI for this assignment. You may not use the abstract to provide this information. You must provide page/paragraph numbers to support parts 3-8. Write in complete sentences, giving explicit details that are paraphrased.

In the matrix

1. Article Type

2. Article Reference (including hyperlink)

3. Sampling Procedure (what type of sampling was used)

4. Participants (who, how many, from where)

5. Intervention (details if one was carried out; not all of them will have information for this section)

6. Measurements/Instruments (What was collected? assessments, surveys, questionnaires, observation protocol, structured/semi-structured interview protocol, document analysis

7. How Data Collected (how was the data collected, when, by whom, etc.)

8. How Data Analyzed (please provide detailed information as to the exact analysis)

a. Quantitative (statistical analysis(es) such as t-test, ANOVA, ANCOVA, chi-square, Pearson Product-Moment correlation, Spearman rho, etc.). See the Read: Quantitative Research: Common Types of Analyses and Research Designs in the Learn section of the Research Design: Experimental and Non-Experimental Module.)

b. Qualitative [e.g., inductive/deductive approach, point of focus, summaries, memoing, indexing, coding, grouping, themes, type of analysis (content, narrative, discourse, framework, grounded theory)]. See the Read: Qualitative Research: Common Types of Data Collection, Analyses, and Research Design in the Learn section of the Research Design: Qualitative and Mixed Methods Module.

c. Mixed Methods (explain how the quantitative and qualitative data were analyzed—see a and b above)
