RES709 Research Conceptualization And Design
Week 5 Discussion
DQ1 Research Questions Versus Interview Questions
Review the weekly overview and reflect on the topic of research questions.
Your research question describes the issue you want to learn about, but you rarely can learn about that issue by asking others that same question.
A research question is broad but specific and should clearly address the topic and the population being studied. It should also be practical and demonstrate the action you are doing.
If your question can only provide a yes/no answer, is too general, or is not feasible, it isn’t a good research question. An example of a poorly written research question might be: What is the role of the nurses in the operating room?
Research questions are not interview questions.
Research Question Example: How do families with school-age children prepare them to be ready for school?
Interview Question Example: How do you get your children ready for school?
That might be all you have to say to learn about how people prepare their kids for school, but you can add probes like: Tell me more about… or you mentioned… or can you give me an example?
You never want to ask a yes/no question in an interview because the response will not provide any reliable data to analyze.
Write a 250- to 300-word response to the following:
What is the purpose of research questions?
How are research questions different from interview questions?
How are research questions aligned with the purpose statement?
DQ2 Research Question Peer-Review
A peer-review process provides doctoral students opportunities to explore their own ideas and thoughts as well as assisting their peers by providing substantive feedback and critical thinking questions and ideas.
Locate 2 dissertations in ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Global that are focused on your topic. Review the research question(s) in both dissertations to assist in gaining an understanding of how to write your research question(s) for this assignment.

Week 8 Discussion
DQ1 Framework
View the “Developing a Conceptual or Theoretical Framework” tutorial.
Note: A transcript of the video is available.
Every dissertation needs to have a theoretical foundation and/or a conceptual framework discussion in the literature review section. The theoretical framework will be the lens (perspective) through which you evaluate your research problem and research questions. While a theoretical framework is typically required for quantitative studies, a conceptual framework can be used in qualitative studies. Yet, both theoretical and conceptual frameworks can be used for either quantitative or qualitative studies, depending on the theorist.
You may find it helpful to review some completed dissertations, as you did in Week 6, to gain thoughts and ideas.
Write a substantiated 250- to 300-word response to the following:
State your updated problem statement.
State a theory and/or concept that is applicable to your research and explain how that theory or concept would frame your research.

Week 2 Assignment
Article Analysis and Research Considerations
Knowing the difference between applied and basic research is necessary to develop an effective research study. The difference between basic research and applied research lies in their respective aims.
Basic research refers to research aimed at acquiring new, fundamental knowledge and theoretical understanding of basic human and other natural processes without any particular application in view.
Applied research also is conducted as an original investigation to acquire new knowledge, but it is primarily directed toward practical objectives with the aim of providing relatively immediate solutions.
This assignment has two parts. Complete Parts 1 and 2 below.
Part 1: Article Analysis
Locate an applied research article on a topic in your program of study (e.g., DBA, DHA, DM, EDD) from the University Library. To familiarize yourself with the different applied designs, review the qualitative and quantitative research designs in the CDS Dissertation Guide.
Key words to use while searching for an article in the library might include action research, program evaluation, etc.
Write a 350- to 525-word analysis about what makes the study discussed in the article applied versus basic research and do the following:
Identify the article topic (e.g., education, business, health care) and provide a link to the article.
Explain how the study in the article addresses a real-world, practical problem.
Explain how the results of the study could impact people’s lives, work, health, and/or general well-being.
Part 2: Access and Permission Considerations
An important aspect of choosing a topic is access or the ability to conduct your study. For example, you may want to know how leaders in a particular company use social media to increase sales, but they are unwilling to talk to you. If you are not able to gain access to the leaders, then you will not be able to gather the data you need for your study.
Additionally, when selecting a topic for your study, consider whether conducting the study would involve talking to protected classes of people or vulnerable populations. Federal regulations require protecting the welfare of vulnerable subjects who may not be of age, have the authority or ability to speak for themselves, or are vulnerable in any other way.
Protected classes include the following:
children or minors under age 18
prisoners
pregnant women
people with cognitive impairments or mental disabilities
people who are educationally or economically disadvantaged
If you are considering conducting research with any of the protected classes of human subjects, consider options for completing your study in a different way. For example, instead of talking to minor children, talk to their teachers. There are many creative options!
Write a 250- to 500-word summary in which you:
Identify what permissions will you need to access the people, organizations, and/or data to conduct your research.
Identify who you might need to consult to gain permission to conduct your study.
Explain what potential issues you might encounter.
Explain how you might address these potential issues.
Compile Part 1 and Part 2 into one document for submission. IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION NOTE: Make this one paper of 600- 1025 words (use Level 1 headings to identify all topics discussed and have an introductory paragraph and a concluding paragraph) instead of a Part 1 and Part 2 paper.
Use the provided Student Paper Template to ensure proper APA formatting.
Include APA-formatted in-text citations and references.
For a well-structured scholarly paragraph please refer to the Paragraphing with the MEAL Plan section in Appendix B of the Student Paper Template.
Use the APA Tutorials located in Doctoral Writing Resources and format your paper according to APA guidelines.
Reminder: Before submitting your assignment, proofread for grammar and sentence structure, re-read the assignment directions, and refer to the Summative Assessment rubric to ensure each element of the assignment has been addressed.
Submit your assignment.

Week 3 Assignment
Problem Statement
All dissertations begin with a problem that justifies the need for the study. Without a clear and compelling problem, the study will add little importance or value to an academic discipline or profession. The problem statement is a critically important component of the dissertation. The problem statement explains the reason for your study and substantiates the importance of the research.
This assignment has two parts. Complete Parts 1 and 2 below within the template provided below (see the NOTE).
Part 1: Background of the Problem
Locate 2 or 3 peer-reviewed scholarly articles (published within the last 5 years: 2017-2022) from the University Library that address your proposed problem.
Write a 350-700 word introduction to the problem in which you:
Provide a description and background of the identified problem.
Use the scholarly articles to support the existence of the problem. Be sure to use a scholarly voice.
