Question

Consider, for example, what criteria are used in Psychology to evaluate alignment of research components. And in what way will future research contribute to the identity as scholar-practitioner who is dedicated to positive social change?

For this Discussion, consider criteria for evaluating alignment among the various components of a research study. Also reflect on the role as a positive social change agent through research. With these thoughts in mind:

Post

1. An explanation of the criteria you could use to evaluate alignment between data collection methods and other research components, such as the problem, purpose, research questions, and design.

2. Then, reflecting on the course content, discuss the extent to which your newly acquired research knowledge and skills can support your role as an agent of positive social change.

3. Be specific and provide an example(s).

Answer 1

Research work is the creative work activity which is to be undertaken on a systematic basis in order to increase the stock of knowledge and is a detailed study of any work with as a start point from its history to the point where it was being stopped.

To carry out this activity readers design is to be prepare which is to be carry out on the basis of strategy,conceptual framework, who or what will be studied, which tools to be use to undertake research.

These material contribute to the following outcomes:-

1. Understanding of the key principles of research design

2. Critically evaluate your own research.

Any research work can be design on the basis of:-

1. What will be studied

2, what strategies of enquiry will be used

3. Methods for collecting and analysing materials

After these data, there are some specific criteria for evaluation of the research design

1. Setup of the research

2. Empirical procedures used in the research ( design,data,collection,sample and data analysis)

3. Quality of the data

4. Findings and conclusions reached in the research.

5. References of the work taken from

Eg I had carried out my research work in my post graduation in which I had covered:-

Objectives- to identify a topic area.

Methods appropriation- survey or a series for work.

Operationalization of concepts:- central concepts are being applied to concrete social phenomenon.

What will be studied :- most appropriate documents to be selected.

So like dt a research work analysis to be carried out.
