Data Collection and Analysis
Case Assignment
The Case Assignments in this course are designed to assist you with the completion of the Doctoral Study Proposal . Each module will provide you with instructions and guidance on how to complete a component of the proposal. You are expected to follow the steps below:
· Review all module content including the information provided on the module homepage.
· Incorporate any changes into your Case 4 assignment based on instructor feedback from Case 3.
· Use the track changes function in Word , so the instructor can follow the modifications you make to your document based on Case 3 feedback.
Using the module content as a guide, draft the following sections:
First, incorporate the feedback received on your Module 3 Case 3 assignment and update the following sections to include those changes in your Case 4 assignment:
Background Statement of the Problem Purpose of the Study Conceptual or Theoretical Framework Research Design Significance of the Study Research Methods and Design Research Site or Population Population and Sample Instrumentation
Next, draft and add the following sections:
Data Collection Data Analysis Trustworthiness and Credibility Limitations
Data Collection Provide a step-by-step description of your data collection methods. Include relevant information on gatekeepers (e.g. Institutional Review Board at the site, access to participants), consent, and protection of participant identity.
You may have to provide multiple sections organized by the type of data (interview, observations, etc.)
· How will you recruit participants?
· How will you obtain informed consent?
· How will you protect participant identity?
· Where will interviews/observations take place?
· How will you collect data (e.g. tape record, transcription, online security)?
· How will you protect and store data?
In conclusion, provide a timeline for your study.
Data Analysis What techniques will you use to analyze your data?
Qualitative You may have to provide multiple sections organized by the type of data collected.
· How will you analyze transcripts from interviews?
· Describe your coding process and how you will identify themes.
· Discuss any software or analysis procedures you will employ
· Discuss steps you will take to address validity (e.g. bracketing, triangulation, member checking, auditing)
Quantitative How will you analyze the data? Organize this section by your research questions:
· Research question 1 – Present question here…
· Follow the research question with a discussion of the type of statistical analysis you will utilize.
Trustworthiness and Credibility (Qualitative study only) Discuss actions you will take to ensure trustworthiness and address positionality. As scholar-practitioners you are more likely to address a problem of practice at your work site. There are additional steps you can take to ensure the trustworthiness and credibility of your findings.

Limitations Describe limitations – what influences are you unable to control for in your study? What are the potential weaknesses in your study that are not within your control? How might this influence your findings?
Delimitations (optional) Describe delimitations – what influences are you able to control for in your study? What choices have you made regarding for your study that link to your purpose and research questions?

Module 4 - SLP
The SLP assignments in this course will assist you with the development of an annotated bibliography. This document will become a valuable resource as you complete your study. For SLP 4, add to your annotated bibliography for your study with a focus on the articles you incorporated into your Case 4 assignment. For each resource provide the following:
· Complete APA Citation: Sample for Journal Article: Author, A. A., Author, B. B., & Author, C. C. (Year). Title of article. Title of Periodical, volume number (issue number), pages. http://dx.doi.org/xx.xxx/yyyyy
· Visit OWL APA for guidance on how to cite other types of resources
· Summary: Discuss key definitions, theories, concepts, or ideas (in your own words).
· Key findings: Identify the findings that are relevant to your study.
· Key quote(s): Identify any key quotes or statements (remember to include a page number for each quote).
· Relation to other articles: Briefly compare and contrast this source to other sources in your annotated bibliography.
· Relevance to my Research: Identify which research question(s) or research methodology/design this article supports.
· Notes: Add any additional comments you have about this study (e.g., things to remember, follow up, or other considerations).
