This is also in 2 Parts- A Discussion & A Project
Due 08/22/17
Heuristic approaches to thinking about thinking involve employing rules of thumb to arrive at conclusions. These starting points are the inductive process, but deduction is also involved in reasoning on a topic. Dewey called this the “double movement of reflection.” If Dewey is correct, what are the difficulties in isolating either induction or deduction within scientific reasoning? What are the benefits of such isolation? What are some alternatives that we have not yet explored?
A good hypothesis starts with a clear research question. What is the role of abduction in arriving at clear research questions? Are there any inherent dangers in using this approach, strategic guessing, to explore research questions for inquiry? What are the main assumptions behind abductive reasoning?
Topic: Scientific Reasoning, Reflecting on Heuristics and Developing Hypotheses
10 Strategic Points Quantitative Study Extraction #3
Aug 28, 2017
Review the Wallace, Johnson, Mathe, and Paul article.
Locate and download “Modified 10 Points Template.”
Using the “Modified 10 Points Template,” identify each of the 10 strategic points in this quantitative research study.
Discuss the key points in the literature review and how the author used this section to identify the gap or problem addressed in the study.
Describe the variables under study and how they are a key component in this quantitative research study. You are not expected to understand the differences between variables at this point, but should be able to identify how they inform the problem, purpose, research questions and data collection instruments.
Describe the problem and how it informed the research questions under study.
Describe the quantitative design used and why it is appropriate for the identified problem and research questions. Support your response with a peer-reviewed citation from a research source.
Assess the appropriateness of the instruments used to collect data and answer the research questions as well as to address the stated problem.
Discuss how the problem statement informed the development of the purpose statement in this study.
