What are the similar parts and different parts for each of these paradigms? • What research methodologies are employed in each paradigm?

Research Paradigms Instructions: For this assignment you will begin to grow as a scholar and researcher by relying on scholarly texts and resources and not the textbooks required for this course. It is important to note that as a general rule, textbooks are not scholarly resources because they do not contain original research. Search the library for peer-reviewed journal articles or texts that discuss the four paradigms listed below; complete the assignment based on the information you find in the library. Write a 700- to 1,050-word paper comparing and contrasting the following research paradigms: • Positivist • Interpretivist • Critical • Pragmatic Address the following questions: • What are the similar parts and different parts for each of these paradigms? • What research methodologies are employed in each paradigm? Cite each of the scholarly resources used in your research. Format your paper according to APA guidelines. Submit your assignment to the Assignment Files tab.
Literature Review and Literature Gap Instructions: The literature review serves as an important purpose in any dissertation, research article, report or proposal. It supports the need for the study and convinces readers that the content area has been reviewed in depth, and there is clearly a research problem to be addressed and a gap in knowledge needing to be filled. A literature review should contain current and classic references, cite experts in field and synthesize the relevant literature while identifying the strengths and weaknesses of previous studies. Consider a research interest within your degree program. Select four recently published research articles related to your research interest; (Effect of drug use on the mentally challenged) two quantitative and two qualitative research studies. You may substitute a mixed methods study for one of the qualitative or quantitative studies. Ensure that each of the studies you selected was published in a peer reviewed journal. Review the Literature Review presentation to understand synthesis of literature. Write a synthesized 1,400-to 1,750-literature review in which you compare and contrast the four scholarly research articles. Consider the following while constructing a logical and critical literature review: • What is already known about the research topic you are interested in? • What is not known about your topic; where is there a gap in the literature? • What further research might be worth pursuing in this area? Format your assignment according to APA guidelines.
Formulating the Problem Statement and Purpose Statement Instructions: In this assignment, you will create your Problem and Purpose Statements. Problem statements ground the phenomenon of concern within the larger context of the problem, identify the need for the study and once the larger problem is articulated, they identify the specific problem proposed for the research. Problem statements must be of sufficient depth to be sustainable through the entire research process. Read or review the relevant sources on developing the problem statement and purpose statement. Review the Problem and Purpose Statements presentation. Develop a draft problem statement that aligns with your program of study–DBA, DHA, DM, DM/IST, EDD, EDD/CI, or EDD/ET. Also develop a draft purpose paragraph that aligns with the problem. Post your problem statement and purpose to Problem Statement and Purpose Peer Review learning activity. Write 700- to 1,050-word paper that includes your problem statement and purpose. Format your assignment according to APA guidelines. Submit your assignment to the Assignment Files tab.

Developing the Research Questions Instructions: For this assignment, you will write your research questions. Research questions represent the purpose of conducting the study, and wellstated research questions drive the investigation and the implementation of the study. Beware of poorly-stated, ambiguous research questions which can muddy the investigation and make it difficult for the reader to decipher the intended research. In quantitative studies, research questions are most often descriptive, correlational, or comparative, focusing on describing the distribution of variables, the extent of relationships among variables, or differences within or between groups. In qualitative studies, the research questions are generally broad in nature, focusing on exploring or describing how or why. Read the relevant sources on developing research questions. Review the Developing Research Questions presentation. Determine what research questions might be relevant for your dissertation. Ensure that the questions are formatted per guidance in the presentation. Post your draft problem statement, purpose, and research questions to the Research Questions Peer Review learning activity. Create an APA formatted paper that includes your problem statement, purpose, and research questions. Submit your work to the Assignment Files tab.

Method Selection and Justification Instructions: This week you will select a research method that’s appropriate for your study. As you select a method, bear in mind that quantitative research is used to address a social problem by using numerical data to quantify a participant’s opinions, perceptions, and feelings. Qualitative research on the other hand, uses approaches such as interviews, questionnaires, focus groups, observations, or archival documents to gain an understanding of participant’s opinions, perceptions, and feelings, or by examining documents or narratives. Select and provide the rationale for the appropriate method to achieve your research objectives. Post your problem statement, purpose, research questions, and proposed method and rationalization to the Method Peer Review learning activity. Note: Please post this in the message window, not as an attachment. Write a paper which includes your problem statement, purpose, research questions, and proposed method and rationalization. Format your paper according to APA guidelines. Submit your assignment to the Assignment Files tab.
Design Selection and Justification Instructions: For this week’s assignment, you will select and appropriate research design for your study. Once you have selected an appropriate design, you must locate and review references developed by the primary methodologists associated with that design. It is also crucial that you circle back and revise their purpose and research questions to align with the selected design; reviewing for and revising to ensure alignment between the proposed research elements is part of the doctoral process. Review the Selecting an Appropriate Research Design presentation. Select and rationalize an appropriate design to achieve your research objectives. Post your problem statement, purpose, research questions, method, and proposed design and rationalization to the Research Design Peer Review learning activity. Note: Post this in the message window, not as an attachment Create an APA formatted paper that includes your problem statement, purpose, research questions, method, and proposed design and rationalization. Ensure that the design rationalization is cited based on appropriate source Submit your assignment to the Assignment Files tab.
Developing a Theoretical or Conceptual Framework Instructions: The conceptual or theoretical framework is a major element of the dissertation and begins with a broad theoretical foundation. Your conceptual or theoretical framework will be presented in Chapter 1 of the dissertation proposal and expanded upon in Chapter 2, the literature review. Depending upon the research methodologists consulted for the research design, some methodologists suggest that conceptual frameworks are used in quantitative research and theoretical frameworks are used in qualitative research; however, what is important is that the researcher has a conceptual or a theoretical framework in place to guide the study. Review the Theoretical or Conceptual Framework presentation. Develop a theoretical or conceptual framework section that is relevant to your method and topic. Include three to five relevant theories, including both germinal and current theories. Write a paper that includes your problem statement, purpose, research questions, method, design and rationalization, and theoretical or conceptual framework. Format your assignment according to APA guidelines. Submit your assignment to the Assignment Files tab. SupportingMaterial:Developing a Conceptual or Theoretical Framework
Research Proposal and Reflecting on the SPL Model Instructions: Participants must be protected from harm during a study; all activities in which subjects engage must not put any persons at risk of personal harm, either physical or psychological, beyond what they might encounter in everyday life or the routine administration of psychological tests. Each participant must provide signed informed consent to be involved, and must be assured the person’s anonymity and confidentiality will be maintained. No participant’s privacy may be invaded through involvement with a research effort. Deception in social science research is a controversial topic that is also covered in Week 8. In Weeks 1-7 of this course you developed the major research elements required for the proposal of a research study. In this two-part assignment you will: 1. Develop a research proposal by adding background and contribution to knowledge sections to your existing document, and: 2. Reflect on the SPL model discussions throughout the first four course of your program, and convey how the SPL model provides structure for your proposed research and how it will drive your research. Part A: Research Proposal Review and integrate the feedback received on your example research elements submitted as Week 3 through Week 7 assignments. Ensure each of your elements is aligned and make revisions as necessary. Add a background section and a contribution to knowledge section to your research proposal. The background section should provide an overview of the topic, and thecontribution to knowledge section should describe your study’s potential contributions to the body of literature. Lay your document out using the following outline: • Background • Problem Statement • Purpose • Contribution to Knowledge • Research Questions • Theoretical or Conceptual Framework Part B: Reflecting on the SPL Model Reflect on the SPL model discussions throughout the ACCESS sequence (DOC/700, LDR/711A, and DOC/705r). Develop a 500- to 700-word addendum to your research proposal that conveys how the SPL model provides structure for your proposed research and how the SPL model will drive your research. Discuss specific moments of learning that occurred during DOC/700, LDR/711A, and DOC/705r that underlie your reflections. Review your completed document against the information in Rubric B.
