QUALITATIVE RESEARCH DESIGN Sample Clauses

QUALITATIVE RESEARCH DESIGN. There are two major distinct research approaches commonly known in the field of educational research: quantitative and qualitative research designs. While the former develops from the hypothesis or the presumption of a causal relationship between variables, the latter focuses on investigating a problem and gaining a detailed understanding of a central phenomenon (Xxxxxxxx, 2014). The overarching research question of this study was, what are principals’ attitudes towards implementation of IE? To answer this question effectively, a qualitative approach was adopted as the study sought to understand perceptions, knowledge and attitudes as well as experiences of school principals who have been identified as a central phenomenon in this inquiry. Moreover, Xxxxxxxx et al. (2009) states that “qualitative research is a means for exploring and understanding the meaning individuals or groups ascribe to a social or human problem” (p.4), therefore applying the qualitative approach to this study was justified, as it would provide an in-depth analysis of school principals attitudes towards the sector policy. Xxxxxxxx et al. (2004) also notes that qualitative research design is always concerned with the authenticity, interpretation of situations, voice of the participant and behavior during data collection. This approach therefore provides the researcher with an opportunity to interact with the participant at a close level. Qualitative research approach goes further to give the interviewer an opportunity to store data either in note form and or in recorded audio form (White, 2005) which can be replayed severally to get the message required. The qualitative study employed broad exploratory qualitative research because the research aimed to investigate the knowledge of principals and their involvement in the implementation of IE. (Xxxxxxxx, 2007) Within the qualitative nature of the study, exploratory research design was applied because the problem under investigation; that is knowledge of school principals and their attitude towards the implementation of IE as defined in the sector policy for learners and trainees with disabilities has not been researched on in the past in Kisumu County. Several studies have however been conducted on teachers’ perceptions towards implementation of IE in primary schools and few on high schools. This study also involves few participants and therefore is a short study that will enable the researcher to engage in an in-depth investigation of p...

  • Research Design The data generated by excavations at the prehistoric site(s) will be used to examine at least three topics: (1) chronology; (2) technology; and (3) subsistence practices. Insights into changing patterns of community organization may also be granted, as may insights into changes in social organization. The data recovered will then be compared to data from other regional sites.

  • Research Use The Requester agrees that if access is approved, (1) the PI named in the DAR and (2) those named in the “Senior/Key Person Profile” section of the DAR, including the Information Technology Director and any trainee, employee, or contractor1 working on the proposed research project under the direct oversight of these individuals, shall become Approved Users of the requested dataset(s). Research use will occur solely in connection with the approved research project described in the DAR, which includes a 1-2 paragraph description of the proposed research (i.e., a Research Use Statement). Investigators interested in using Cloud Computing for data storage and analysis must request permission to use Cloud Computing in the DAR and identify the Cloud Service Provider (CSP) or providers and/or Private Cloud System (PCS) that they propose to use. They must also submit a Cloud Computing Use Statement as part of the DAR that describes the type of service and how it will be used to carry out the proposed research as described in the Research Use Statement. If the Approved Users plan to collaborate with investigators outside the Requester, the investigators at each external site must submit an independent DAR using the same project title and Research Use Statement, and if using the cloud, Cloud Computing Use Statement. New uses of these data outside those described in the DAR will require submission of a new DAR; modifications to the research project will require submission of an amendment to this application (e.g., adding or deleting Requester Collaborators from the Requester, adding datasets to an approved project). Access to the requested dataset(s) is granted for a period of one (1) year, with the option to renew access or close-out a project at the end of that year. Submitting Investigator(s), or their collaborators, who provided the data or samples used to generate controlled-access datasets subject to the NIH GDS Policy and who have Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval and who meet any other study specific terms of access, are exempt from the limitation on the scope of the research use as defined in the DAR.
