Methodology Trends: Qualitative, Quantitative, and Mixed-Methodology Approaches
Now that you have identified your potential research problem, think about methodology trends you see. Insight into these trends will help you identify the benefits and drawbacks of each methodology (quantitative, qualitative, mixed methods) in relation to your research problem. (Hint: These are also items you will address in Project Two.) As you consider how the methodologies relate to your research problem, answer each of the following:
Do you see any trends in the methodology approaches used to study this problem?
If so, why do you think that is?
If not, why do you think that is?
Are there any methodologies that you are having difficulty finding research studies for?
If so, why do you think that is?
If not, why do you think that is?
