Scenario

As discussed in module $04,$ the primary functions of a research methodology section are for the researcher to justify how a study will be conducted and provide sufficient detail to prove the credibility and reliability of the data. Remember that the methodology section should be a recipe of sorts, which would enable others to replicate the steps and resources used in your proposed study. With that analogy in mind, take care to explain each step and not to omit any ingredients. In this assignment, you are to detail the methodology for your research proposal, explaining each step for how you intend to collect, analyze, and interpret data to answer your research question.

Instructions

Your methodology section will be about six to eight pages, not including the title and reference pages.

Defend a quantitative, qualitative, or mixed method strategy, using external sources to justify the choice.

Detail the steps that will need to be followed for that strategy and what will need to be considered.

Explain the plan for collecting data:

What type$($s$)$ of data will be collected and how much?

Where will you get the data?

Describe how the data will be analyzed and interpreted.

Discuss the ethical issues that may arise during the research study and how these will be managed.

NOTE $-$ Be sure the documents are in APA format $($including title page, font, headings$)$ and contain proper grammar, spelling, punctuation, and sentence structure.
