The transition from a consumer of research to a producer of research includes becoming an expert in the design and methodology required for the research task in addition to becoming an expert in the content of the research. Since not every nuance of every research design and method can be addressed in the limited space of a doctoral program, doctoral learners must take the responsibility to become fully immersed in the research design and methodology that is best suited to address the research questions of the dissertation. In this assignment, you will make a step toward both becoming an expert in the research methodology of your dissertation and to creating a first draft of the methodology section of your prospectus. Please note that a passing score on this assignment does not indicate an approved research design or methodology. You will work with your dissertation chair and methodologist to further refine and focus the design and methodology once you enter the dissertation phase of the program.General Requirements:Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:Refer to the potential dissertation research questions and problem statement you drafted as an assignment in a previous course.Retain this paper for reference in future courses.This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their writing assignments. The APA Style Guide is located in the Student Success Center.Refer to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association for specific guidelines related to doctoral level writing. The Manual contains essential information on manuscript structure and content, clear and concise writing, and academic grammar and usage.This assignment requires that at least two additional scholarly research sources related to this topic, and at least one in-text citation from each source be included.You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. Refer to the LopesWrite Technical Support articlesfor assistance.Directions:Write a paper (750-1,000 words) in which you present a clearly articulated argument for whether a qualitative or quantitative research methodology is the best approach to answer the potential dissertation research questions and address the problem statement you drafted in a previous course. Include the following in your paper:A literature-supported discussion identifying the critical attributes of the selected methodology (qualitative or quantitative).A literature-supported rationale that clearly articulates why the critical attributes of the selected methodology are a best or appropriate fit for the stated problem and research questions. Cite specific examples where a similar methodology was used to answer similar research questions or to address a similar problem statement.A literature-supported rationale that clearly articulates why the opposing methodology (qualitative or quantitative) is not appropriate for the study.A concluding statement that clearly affirms the methodological choice (qualitative of quantitative).

More specifically, in what ways will better understanding primary, secondary, and tertiary reader-users allow you to tailor your proposal for this project?Part 2(250 words)Let's use this week's discussion to begin brainstorming and sharing ideas about the problem/issue/opportunity for which you'll explore. If you haven't already, please read through the Module 9 Overview, which discusses the upcoming course tasks.Next, what issues, problems, and/or opportunities are you thinking about? Why are these important to your profession? In what ways are they tied to writing? Who (i.e. stakeholders) are interested or invested in the these issues, problems, opportunities? What questions or concerns do you have at this point? What future concerns might you have?Module 9 OverviewIn Module 9, we'll continue with Part II: Writing in Action. Now that you've had an opportunity to begin framing your professional identity through the About Me Bio and resume drafts, let's dig a bit deeper into writing in your profession. For much of the remainder of the semester, you'll explore a problem, issue, or opportunity in your profession1 that requires writing to create action for resolution. The problem/issue/opportunity on which you choose to focus is up to you, but it should be an issue that impacts a community of stakeholders. In other words, you'll want to avoid choosing something that is strictly a personal preference. You might, for example, explore the ways in which a new/different approach to case notes might foster a better social worker-client relationship. Or you might examine social media trends and articulate strategies for improved social media marketing.Ultimately, you will write a proposal that will be included in your Writing in Action portfolio. We'll discuss proposals in Module 10.The first steps in this process is to determine the problem/issue/opportunity, identify the stakeholders, complete a reader-centered analysis chart, and consider the project plan.This module will help you parse out ideas and begin developing the framework for your proposal and ultimately the proposal.1Profession in this case is broadly defined. It does not necessarily mean the job/position you have now, but, instead, might refer to your field (i.e. social work or business management). Module Objectives1. Explore problems/issues/opportunities in your profession2. Develop an understanding of proposals as a professional genre3. Identify primary, secondary, and tertiary reader-users, as a community of stakeholders invested in the problem/issue/opportunity you've identified. Module Checklist1. Read Chapter 12 in Technical Communication Today and complete Reading Response #8 2. Participate in the Week 9 Discussion3. Complete the Reader-Centered Analysis Chart
