Residency 3 Final Assignment
Your final assignment for Residency 3 is to complete the Research Design Alignment Table (RDAT). Each of the Residency Cohort Sessions will walk you through completing a portion of the RDAT. Be sure to keep the RDAT with you during each of the Cohort sessions to keep track of your responses. Your responses will evolve as you move through the Cohort sessions based on feedback from peers and faculty, which should assure alignment.
Be sure to review the questions for reflection on research design alignment following the RDAT to further assure research design alignment.
Review the Assignment Grading Rubric for criteria for evaluation.

Once your Research Design Alignment Table is completed, reflect on your design alignment.
Ask yourself:
1. Is there a logical progression from the research problem to the purpose of the study?
2. Does the identified framework ground the investigation into the stated problem?
3. Do the problem, purpose, and framework in the left-hand column align with the RQ(s) (all rows)?
4. Does each RQ address the problem and align with the purpose of the study?
5. Does the information across each individual row match/align with the RQ listed for that row?
· By row, will the variables listed address the RQ?
· By row, will the analysis address the RQ?
· By row, can the analysis be completed with the data points that will be collected?
|
Rubric Standard | Aligned > Do the various aspects of the prospectus align overall? The nature of the study should align with the problem, research questions, and tentative approaches to inquiry. |
