Research Logic Model Draft

A Research Logic Model is a visual representation of the research activities designed to evaluate the impact, efficiency, effectiveness, or success of the policy, program or initiative reflected in the Program Logic Model. The two models are related. Research Logic Models are designed to answer specific research questions aligned with expected outcomes. Research Logic Models allow us to examine broader questions of impact and change (See Table 1 and 2 below).

Table 1. Evaluation Plan Research Logic Model

Research Question	Data Source	Type of Data
How does integration of MAXQDA and other technologies impact students degree completion?	Focus group interviews. Doctoral Candidate Survey.	Narratives generated from focus group interviews. Survey Data – categorical
How does shifting the qualitative research classes to a semester format shape students capacity to engage in qualitative research?	Mentor Journal CANVAS – Course Assessments *Comments on drafts of students dissertation proposals.	Notes from meetings with Dissertation Students. Rubrics in qualitative research courses.
How does the creation of a user group influence doctoral candidates adoption of technology when conducting research?	Mentor Journal CANVAS Course Assessments.	Notes on students capacity to utilize technology in their research. Rubrics in qualitative research courses & LPL 875.

Research questions should be a reflection of the organizations larger goals and/or strategic initiatives. For example, how does the Title I program support instruction? What types of existing data could you rely on in a school district to answer this question? How have anti-DEI policies impacted the racial demographics of matriculating students across different types of post-secondary institutions? At a program level, how does X program impact students willingness to attend classes regularly?

Data sources are a list of the existing data or variables that can be used to effectively answer the research questions. It also reveals the gaps in data and the need for data collection.

Type of Data categorizes the type of data.

Data Analysis indicates how you will analyze the data, qualitatively, quantitatively, or the interaction between the two.

Table 2. Research Questions: Logic Model

Research Question	Data Collection Phase	Analysis
What are contemporary conservative policy goals regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion or DEI?	1	QCA
1) How do these contemporary conservative policies reconcile the reversal of civil rights with larger democratic values of equality and fairness?	1	QCA
2) What are professionals perceptions of the impact of anti-DEI policies on the work they do?	2 (Survey) 3 (Interview)	Thematic analysis Descriptive statistics (correlations)
3) How does the proliferation of anti-DEI policies impact professionals perceptions of their work environment?	2 (Survey) 3 (Interview)	Thematic analysis Descriptive statistics (correlations)
4) How do anti-DEI policies influence administrative practices?	2 (Survey) 3 (Interview)	Thematic analysis
5) How has the proliferation of anti-DEI policies shaped professionals perceptions of their future in their career?	2 (Survey) 3 (Interview)	Thematic analysis
