Part 1
Read the following resources
- Developing a Researchable Question
- Eleven Pitfalls in Qualitative Research
- Do You Have an Idea for a Topic?
- Standards for Reporting on Empirical Social Science Research”
Discuss the following :
- What is your dissertation topic or potential topic? effect of electronics on toddlers
- If you are not completing a dissertation, what is the focus of a research study you might complete? You can always change your mind on the research topic! (Be sure to focus on an overarching topic, not on a question or problem you want to solve.)
- What is your program of study? (Doctor of Health Administration) Does your topic align with your program of study?(yes) How does it align? Is your dissertation topic/idea feasible? Does your topic fall into one of the areas of being too broad, too narrow, or too recent? If so, present some ideas on what you might consider to achieve a feasible research study
Part 2
Discuss the following :
- Describe, in your own words, what research is, and explain if your study will involve human subjects.
Part 2: Research Ethics
The development of the field of ethics in research includes numerous historical atrocities and egregious breaches of humane, ethical values.
Research historical atrocities and research ethics.
Discuss the following
- Share one historical violation that prompted the implementation of ethical standards in research.
Part 3
As a scholar, practitioner, and leader in research design, you will need to be able to identify research terms and the concepts associated with basic and applied research.
The difference between applied and basic research is necessary to develop a practical research study. The difference between basic research and applied research lies in their respective aims.
- Basic research refers to acquiring new, fundamental knowledge and theoretical understanding of basic human and other natural processes without any particular application in view.
- Applied research is also conducted as an original investigation to acquire new knowledge, but it is primarily directed toward practical objectives to provide relatively immediate solutions.
Assessment Deliverable
This assignment has two parts. Complete Parts 1 and 2 below.
Part 1: Article Analysis
Locate an applied research article on a topic in your program of study (e.g., DBA, DHA, DM, EDD)
Review the qualitative and quantitative research designs in the CDS Dissertation Guide to familiarize yourself with different applied designs.
Note: Keywords to use while searching for an article might include action research, program evaluation, etc.
Write a 350- to 525-word analysis about what makes the study discussed in the article applied versus basic research and do the following:
- Identify the article topic (e.g., education, business, health care) and provide a link to the article.
- Explain how the study in the article addresses a real-world, practical problem.
- Explain how the study results could impact peoples lives, work, health, and/or general well-being.
Part 2: Access and Permission Considerations
An integral aspect of choosing a topic is access or the ability to conduct your study. For example, you may want to know how leaders in a particular company use social media to increase sales, but they are unwilling to talk to you. If you cannot gain access to the leaders, then you will not be able to gather the data you need for your study.
Additionally, when selecting a topic for your study, consider whether conducting the study would involve talking to protected classes of people or vulnerable populations. Federal regulations require protecting the welfare of vulnerable subjects who may not be of age, have the authority or ability to speak for themselves, or are vulnerable in any other way.
Protected classes include the following:
- Children or minors under the age of 18
- Prisoners
- Pregnant women
- People with cognitive impairments or mental disabilities
- People who are educationally or economically disadvantaged
Note: If you are considering conducting research with any of the protected classes of human subjects, consider options for completing your study differently. For example, talk to the minor childrens parents, instead of talking to the minor children. There are many creative options!
Write a 350- to 525-word summary in which you:
- Identify what permissions you will need to access the people, organizations, and/or data to conduct your research.
- Identify who you might need to consult to gain permission to conduct your study.
- Explain what potential issues you might encounter.
- Explain how you may address these potential issues.
Compile Part 1 and Part 2 into one document for submission.
