Question: Discussion 1: This discussion builds on information in the unit introduction and the unit studies. Keep in mind that learning about research is iterative (baby steps, one at a time!) and if you skip steps, you will get lost!
For this discussion, refer to the set of quantitative and qualitative articles provided in this unit's studies. Choose one topic area that you find interesting. Briefly summarize each article (one paragraph each). Discuss the differences between the quantitative and the qualitative articles with respect to the following questions:
• Sample size. (Which one used a larger sample and why?)
• Data collection. (What methods were used to collect the data? Surveys? Observations? Interviews?)
• Data analysis. (How was the data analyzed? Were statistics used? Were interviews coded?)
Discussion 2: For this discussion, refer to the two articles, one qualitative and one quantitative, that you found in the Capella library. Use the Article Analysis Worksheet (below) to prepare for this discussion. Create a narrative summary of the articles based on information gleaned using the worksheet.
Discuss the different sections of each article with regard to how they fit into the required sections of an APA-style research paper:
• Introduction.
• Literature Review.
• Methodology.
• Results.
• Discussion.
Did each article have each of these sections? What sort of information was found in each? Were there differences in the type of information found in the two different articles, or the way it was presented?
Use this worksheet to better understand the articles you review.
