Discussion 2: Considerations in Designing a Qualitative Study Using what you have learned about your topic from your literature search, you are working towards formulating a research purpose and question. Note that in the Learning Resources for this week, the language of qualitative research is incorporated into how the research purpose and question is formulated. Here are some basic do’s and don’ts. Quantitative (Don’ts) Qualitative (Do’s) Predict Examine differences, effects, or impact Correlate Analyze Explore Understand Describe Variables Indicators Measures Experience Meaning Essence Narrative Hypotheses Broad, open-ended questions For example, in the ongoing scenario for each of the weeks of this course, the qualitative research question is formulated based on: DO: The purpose of this study is to understand the narratives of childcare and support in families in impoverished communities. DO: What is the meaning of a “well-behaved child” to early childhood caregivers in impoverished neighborhoods? While as in this example, the research question is formulated based on quantitative information DON’T: The purpose of this study is to examine the demographic and family factors that predict the use of childcare services in impoverished communities. DON’T: What are the differences in early childhood social skill acquisition between children that do receive childcare services and those that do not? For this Discussion, you will examine qualitative research as it relates to qualitative design considerations. To prepare for this Discussion: Review the Learning Resources and the Fundamentals of Qualitative Research Methods: Developing a Qualitative Research Question video and consider the basic guidelines for qualitative research design. Use the Course Guide and Assignment Help found in this week’s Learning Resources and search for a qualitative research article. (Note: This article should be the research article you are using for your Major Assignment 1.) Review the qualitative research article you found and identify each of the components of the research design and consider what is present and what is missing. Identify what the authors did to document positionality, reflexivity, and bias. By Day 4 Transform your notes from your preparation work into three paragraphs and post the following: A brief statement of the purpose and primary research question the article addresses An assessment of how thoroughly the research design was presented, including what was missing An assessment of the extent of the researcher’s presentation of positionality, reflexivity, and bias Fundamentals of Qualitative Research Methods: Developing a Qualitative Research Question (Module 2) - YouTube

Find the mean and the standard deviation for the data set you chose.The College Board is an American not-for-profit organization that was formed in December 1899 as the College Entrance Examination Board to expand access to higher education. While the College Board is not an association of colleges, it runs a membership association of institutions, including over 6,000 schools, colleges, universities, and other educational organizations. The College Board states that the Average Total Cost of Public Colleges: $25,290 (in-state) $40,940 (out-of-state) and the Average Total Cost of Private Colleges: $50,900.Depending upon whether you chose In-State or Out- of-State, create the hypothesis student t test with a 0.05 level of significance, is greater than or less than the stated values above.The standard deviation is known to be $659 for college tuition, complete the following hypothesis test for that the standard deviation of college tuition is not equal to $659.
