For this assignment, think about a potential study you might want to conduct in which you would need to collect numerical data. You can use the research topic and problem you developed earlier, but make sure to modify your research questions to fit a quantitative method for this assignment.

• State the research problem and ensure it is supported by at least 3 to 5 scholarly resources within the past 5 years to ensure relevancy. Also keep in mind that your problem statement should reflect your degree (applied or PhD). Discuss whether you had to alter the problem statement to now reflect a quantitative design.
• How could you use quantitative methodology to address your research problem?
• State the purpose of the research effort. Make sure the purpose is aligned with the problem.
• Draft 2 to 3 research questions that would be appropriate for a quantitative study and addresses your research problem and are aligned with your purpose statement. You might choose to revise your previous qualitative research questions or develop new research questions. Either way, ensure alignment with the problem and purpose.
• Identify and discuss a design that is associated with quantitative methodology that you would consider to answer your research questions.
• You will find that some problems lend themselves to using one methodology over another. A goal of this assignment was to have you explore how a quantitative methodology might help you address your research questions. You will have an opportunity later in the course to explore mixed methodologies. Based on your analysis above, do you feel the use of a quantitative methodology and your chosen design is best suited to address your research problem and answer your questions. Why or why not?

Be sure to use scholarly sources to support all assertions and research decisions.

After reading the selected works of Charles Sanders Peirce and the secondary source by Floyd Merrell, reflect on the difference between the sign of Saussure (as arbitrary/semiology) and that of Peirce (non-arbitrary/semiotic).

Write:  In approximately 500 words, describe Peirce’s theory of signs.  In your response be sure to address the crucial description of “logic as semiotic” with its three branches (p. 98) and the triadic relation of the representamen, interpretant, and object.  Then, consider Peirce’s treatment of the concepts ground, thought, belief, doubt, and reality. Use them to offer an account of what he means by thought as both relational and active (p. 30) as well as the distinction between the elements of mediate and immediate conscious. (p. 27)

Writing Requirements:

As part of THIS post’s requirement, please use at least ONE supporting quote from the required, secondary source on Peirce by Floyd Merrell.  IN ADDITION to the regular requirement of a minimum of one in-text citation from the original source reading.

It is also a requirement that each of your initial forum posts begin with a clear and concise thesis statement.  So, perhaps begin your post here with the following type of phrase, “In this post I offer a description of Charles Sanders Peirce’s theory of signs and describe the notion of logic as semiotic.” Or something similar; in your own words.  Also part of the post-requirement, remember to offer backing for your statements with a minimum of two relevant, well-cited quotes from the reading and examples from your reflection.
