DISCUSSION BOARD DUE THURSDAY 250-300 WORDS READ DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY
 
Researchers use many different methods to find the answers to their research questions. Methods include conducting an experiment, administering a survey, evaluating a program, or investigating historical data. Each method has its advantages and challenges.
For this Discussion, you will consider the many ways in which you could answer your research question. If you are considering an experimental method, consider the types of experiments. You may want to consider administering a survey, but you need to also consider the type of survey. One key element to valid research is the selection of the research design.
To prepare for this Discussion:Consider your research topic and the results of your literature reviewPost a comprehensive response to the following:What type of research design would you use for your proposed study (experimental, survey, evaluation, or historical)? (See Chapters 5, 6, 7, and 8 of your textbook.)
Why is the design you selected the most suitable to support your research question or hypothesis? (See Chapters 5, 6, 7, and 8 of your textbook.)
Does the research design account for any bias? (See Chapters 5, 6, 7, and 8 of your textbook.)________________________________________
