Learning Units to Guide Your Research, Statistical Analysis, & Dissertation
In this learning unit, you will learn about how the theoretical framework is useful for guiding scholarly work. Watch Dr. Rockinson-Szapkiw’s Youtub video: Application of a Theory to a Quantitative Research Design.
Here is a Handout for theoretically guided research question development.
In this learning unit, you will learn about a problem of practice (PoP) and how it can guide your investigation. A PoP is the impetus of many practitioner focused doctoral programs’ dissertations (e.g., DBP, EdD, DNP, etc.).
In this learning unit, you will learn about the two primary approaches or methodologies used in research- quantitative and qualitative. Mixed methods and other applications (e.g., program evaluation, action research) often use both methods.
In this learning unit, you will learn how to critically analyze and consume qualitative research studies as well as learn the basics about conducting a qualitative research investigation.
In this learning unit, you will learn the basics of quantitative research designs and how they can be applied to solve problems of practice.
In this learning unit, you will learn about the elements of a quantitative research proposal and how to write one in a step-by-step manner. Dr. Rockinson-Szapkiw’s Statistics Guide and her PDF may be helpful as you work on the analysis portion of your proposal.
