A rationale for using qualitative research methods instead of quantitative research.

/in /by

Assume the role of a chief researcher for the state Department of Education who is examining two groups with similar educational deficiencies. One group involved in the study is a rural, ethnically-defined, aboriginal group with a high rate of health issues including diabetes, vision impairment, and heart disease. The other group is also a rural group living on family-owned farms (as opposed to corporate farms) that are in severe decline as a result of years of decreasing rainfall and drought. Both groups exhibit achievement test scores that are more than one standard deviation below the mean at all grade levels, and excessive high school drop-out rates.

Use the scenario presented above to write a paper of 1,000-1,250 words that addresses the use of qualitative research as a means of studying the two groups in the scenario. Include the following in your paper:

  1. A rationale for using qualitative research methods instead of quantitative research.
  2. A statement of how the worldviews and paradigms of the researcher may create bias when applying qualitative research to the given scenario.

Quasi Or True Experiment

/in /by

The purpose of this activity is for you and your classmates to help each other understand an important distinction—the difference between true experiments and quasi-experiments. Remember that a true experiment is one in which the independent variable is manipulated (i.e., under the control of the experimenter). In contrast, a quasi-experiment makes use of pre-existing groups to establish a relationship between two variables. The general concept of this distinction is simple enough, but students tend to need practice recognizing the distinction in practice.

Here is what you will do:

For your DQ response, briefly describe a hypothetical experiment or quasi-experiment (but don’t label it as such). Your DQ response will be worth up to 16 points.
