EDU504 Introduction To Research Methodologies
Overview- This is an Educational Research Course
The Session Long Project (SLP) for this course requires that you complete a matrix during Module 1. You will align common characteristics of the research process to each research methodology identified (see below). You will also write a narrative essay using this completed matrix for each SLP assignment, which requires you to read a published study and point out key research features within the study.
The Case assignments and Session Long Project are not connected to each other. Your SLP work will entail using your analytical skills to complete the assignment.
Matrix
You must complete the matrix below in its entirety and use it as a reference to complete the Session Long Project assignments.
The matrix can be thought of as a study guide or a handout that can be used as a direction for writing a research paper. Not all the cells will require a great deal of writing, but simply writing "Dependent" or "Independent" does not explain the relevance of what is required. You may not need full explanations in each cell but some may require more detail for clarity of an idea. References and citations will be required for some of the cells. Be complete in your work. If you have a future research course or if you were to share the matrix with a friend, could it be used as you have developed it?

Submitting Your Assignments
You must submit each module’s SLP assignment (including the completed matrix and accompanying 4-page essay)
• Identify the primary types of quantitative and qualitative research methodologies and an appropriate research problem each may address.
The following sections will contribute to your overall SLP narrative essay:
Module 1 – Overview of the Research Process, including Types of Research, Examples of Research Methodologies, Research Questions, Variables, Types of Data, Role of Literature Review in the Research Process, Data Collection, Data Analysis, and Evaluation of findings.
Module 2 – Scenario 1: Culturally relevant teaching: A case study on teaching statistics in the high school setting
Module 3 – Scenario 2: Patients' expectations to dental implant: A systematic review of the literature
Module 4 – Scenario 3: Methods in entrepreneurship education research: A review and integrative framework
In Module 4 you will combine all prior SLP module assignments and provide a PowerPoint briefing that includes an introduction, conclusion, and bibliography.
Each module of the Session Long Project will receive a grade and feedback. The final collated (or “combined”) document will receive a final project grade in Module 4.
SLP Assignment Expectations
Your task for the Module 1 SLP assignment is:
Fill in the matrix with information pertaining to the following items:
Identify the types of Research, Examples of Research Methodologies, Research Questions, Variables, Types of Data, Role of Literature Review in the Research Process; Data Collection and Data Analysis.
Requirements:
Please be sure to include an introductory paragraph within your essay that states the purpose of the Module 1 SLP assignment and informs the reader of the ideas to be discussed.
Also, please follow the APA format and style requirements, and include an APA formatted reference list.
Remember, in Module 4 you will combine all prior SLP module assignments by briefly discussing each scenario and wrapping it up with your final recommendation.
My plan is to use the same writer to fully understand this assignment.
