Discussion : In Module , you learned about the literature review process, which you will employ as part of your final research proposal in M5 Assignment. In preparation for writing this literature review, in M Assignment , you will submit an annotated bibliography of 6 peer-reviewed articles from the Argosy University online library resources and locate articles related to the topic of your research in the following categories:
• 2 quantitative studies
• 2 qualitative studies
• 1 mixed-methods study
• 1 theoretical or research design of your choice
Then, in this module's discussion, consider the following:
A strong literature review not only plays a foundational role for setting up a research proposal and/or dissertation but also plays an important role in the results and discussion section that is presented after the data has been collected and analyzed.
• Why is the literature review a needed piece of a research proposal? How can a weak literature review diminish a research proposal?
• Once the data has been collected and you are moving into the completion of the research report, how will you continue to pull from your literature review in the results and discussion section of your report?
• What search strategies did you use to locate articles from the Argosy University online library resources for your upcoming RAs?
Review the points of others and add additional examples, challenging a response or drawing conclusions from the response.
Post your response in a minimum of 300 words.
All written assignments and responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources.
Assignment : A researcher must be knowledgeable of the different quantitative research designs and be able to effectively apply the best design as dictated by the research question. For this assignment, you will create a 3- to 4-page document following the directions below.
Part I
Compare Methods
Compare and contrast two research methods. Give an example of a situation (related to forensic counseling) in which each of the two chosen methods can be applied.
•Experimental
•Quasi-experimental
•Correlational
•Survey
•Developmental
Part II
Answer Questions
In reference to one of the two example research scenarios that you discussed above in Part I, further explore by answering the following questions (apply these questions to your own research project):
•Determine a suitable research goal.
•Discuss what type of sampling could be used for this study.
•Identify which types of research designs above (from Part I) would be most appropriate to use.
•State your hypothesis of the expected results for this proposed study.
Your final product will be in a Microsoft Word document and be approximately 3-4 pages in length and utilize 2-3 scholarly sources in your research. Your paper should be written in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
