Research Design Considerations

Research design selection crucial for answering questions
Quantitative designs include experimental and non-experimental approaches
Qualitative designs involve non-numerical data like text, video or audio, for in-depth understanding of concepts and opinions.
Qualitative designs can use phenomenological (human experience), grounded theory (theory building), ethnographic (culture exploration), or historical methodologies (life histories).
Researchers must select a suitable setting for data collection (research environment) and specify its relevance to the research project.

Population and Sampling

Identifying the population being studied is essential
Selecting a sampling strategy
Conducting pilot studies for instrument reliability testing
Data collection method selection
Using statistical procedures for data analysis

Data Analysis and Interpretation

Analyze collected data
Interpret findings based on analysis
Draw conclusions from the interpretation
Determine recommendations arising from study findings

Ethical Considerations

Ethical considerations in research design.
Ensuring participant confidentiality
Obtaining informed consent,
Protecting vulnerable populations,
Maintaining objectivity, and upholding research integrity throughout the process.
