Preparing for the Dissertation or Research Project

Now that you have conducted a quantitative mini-study, it is important to think about the experience in relation to your own educational journey and anticipated dissertation or research project experience.

Quantitative research is not for everyone.

Develop an original response to the following questions:

• How has this course informed the direction of your dissertation or research project?
• Do you think you will conduct a quantitative study? Why or why not?
• Will you try to use the same design and statistical test? Why or why not?
• If you plan to do a qualitative study, explain why this is your preference or why it is most appropriate to your problem of interest.

Provide at least three references to support your response
