Research Design: Qualitative, Quantitative, and Mixed Methods Approaches

Prior to beginning work on this assignment,

After your presentation in Week 3 to lawmakers, town council members, business leaders, and members of the public on quantitative research design, you received a notification from your supervisors that a portion of the funding that the department received will be used to support your work.

However, you and your colleagues determined that more questions need to be answered and that qualitative methods will be necessary to address them.

You and your colleagues want to know the perceptions of the public on a range of issues for law enforcement and community policing, and you have determined that a survey instrument will be necessary. You will need to construct an instrument for interview questions and then submit the instrument to the Institutional Review Board.To get started, you work on a draft for the Institutional Review Board as you address the following:

  • Construct a research question and hypothesis for qualitative research in community policing.
    • Support your research question and hypothesis with a theory.
    • Review Creswell and Creswell’s (2023) discussion of research questions for qualitative methods from Chapter 9 of the course textbook.
    • This section may be 1 page.
  • Determine the sampling approach in your qualitative research design.
    • Review Chapter 9 of the course textbook.
    • This section may be 1 page.
  • Design an interview with at least five qualitative questions to answer your research question.
    • Reflect on how your interview questions will address your research question.
    • This section may be 2 pages.
  • Explain your approach to scientific collection of data, inferences, and validity in your design.
    • Review Creswell and Creswell’s (2023) discussion of validity in Chapter 9.
    • Review Creswell and Crewell’s (2023, pp. 172) discussion of inferences.
    • This section may be 1 page.
  • Assess how your qualitative research question addresses a social justice issue and an ethics issue.

    Write a philosophy statement as part of the application process for a professional position in the Hospitality setting

     

    You have been asked to write a philosophy statement as part of the application process for a professional position in the Hospitality setting you are most interested in.  Select a business or organization that you do not work for and have not worked for in the past (learn about jobs available in your field, the requirements for each job, what the agency is looking for in potential hires).

    The organization or company wants to learn more about you and what you stand for.  This is a personal statement, so use first person (I believe . . .  My philosophy is . . .).  Reflect on each of the following in your philosophy statement (PLEASE label and number sections):

    1. What is important to you professionally? 

    2. How will your values and beliefs impact your work and the direction of the organization or company? 

    3. How do your principles guide your approach to work? 

    4. What will you bring to the organization?

    5.  How does your philosophy connect with the mission/vision/value/goal statements of the organization or company?

      Locate the job description for a full-time management or executive position in your specialization with an HRT organization or company

       

      1. Locate the job description for a full-time management or executive position in your specialization with an HRT organization or company. You can also refer to the professional membership organization(s) you located for the Module 2 Discussion to locate jobs, many of those organizations have a job search function on their web page.

      2. Select a real HRT business, nonprofit or public agency and a real management position that fits with your career goals and philosophy. The idea is to locate a professional position in HRT that you could seek in the future.

      3. Do not select your current or former position or an organization or company you work for, have worked for, or have already written about for this class. Open up new horizons by looking into new positions/organizations.  

      4. Locate information about the mission/vision/value/ethics/goal statements for the organization or company. 

      5. Post information about what you found, be specific about the organization and job title, why the job and organization appeal to you.

        Analyze how government intervention affects consumer surplus and producer surplus in the short and long run

        I'm working on an economics case study about market equilibrium and I'm a bit stuck. The assignment asks to “analyze how government intervention (such as price ceilings) affects consumer surplus and producer surplus in the short and long run.”

        I understand the basic concepts, but I’m not sure how to structure my answer or what kind of real-world examples would make the analysis stronger. Should I use graphs or focus more on written explanation?

        Any advice, sample outlines, or references would be greatly appreciated!

          implicit biases to foster cultural awareness and sensitivity in healthcare

           

          This assessment aims to help with reflection on implicit biases to foster cultural awareness and sensitivity in healthcare. Understanding these biases is crucial for providing equitable, patient-centered care. 

          Instructions: 

          1. Complete the Implicit Association Test (IAT): 
            • Visit Project Implicit’s website. and choose one of the IATs related to diversity, such as the tests on race, gender, or disability. These tests are designed to reveal unconscious associations and attitudes that may influence your behavior and decisions.
          2. Reflect on Your Results: 
            • After completing the test, write a short reflection (200–300 words) addressing the following questions: 
            • What insights did the test give you about your implicit biases? 
            • How might these biases influence your interactions with diverse patient populations? 
            • Were there any results that surprised you? Why or why not? 
            • What actions or strategies could you implement to reduce the impact of these biases in your practice?
          3. Link to Cultural Competency in Patient Care: 
            • In your reflection, consider how increased awareness of unconscious biases can enhance your cultural competency. Discuss how this knowledge will support your goal of providing patient-centered, inclusive care, especially for those from culturally diverse backgrounds. Support your discussion with scholarly references.
