In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competency:
Analyze the benefits and drawbacks of collecting various types of data
Scenario
You have recently applied for another position in the company you work for and have been called in for a second interview! For this round, youve been asked by the interview committee to present an analysis of the collected data from the research you initially reviewed, with a specific focus on data-collection types. This will be presented in a formal interview presentation.
Directions
Second Interview Presentation
You are analyzing studies related to a research topic in your field by discussing different types of data collection, their benefits and drawbacks, and how your chosen research studies utilize different collection methods. In your first project, completed in Module Four, you completed your initial analysis of the methodologies used. In your second milestone, also submitted in Module Four, you finalized your research choices by submitting two of each type of research methodology and flexing your skilled consumer of research skills by looking at your gathered research as a whole in order to identify patterns in data-collection types and some high-level credibility threats to the research. For this project, complete the following:
Describe the attributes of a skilled consumer of research. Include the following:
The most helpful perspectives a consumer can utilize
A description of how you know when you have enough information
A description of how you scrutinize the credibility of data
Identify multiple potential threats to the credibility of your research results for each of your selected research studies. Include the following:
A description of potential biases or perspectives that might threaten the credibility of the results
An explanation of ethical issues that might threaten the credibility of the resultsconsider the following:
Disclosure
Blind or double-blind studies
Cultural awareness
Humane treatment of subjects
Unethical structuring of studies (methods, selection, etc.)
Analyze the relationship of data-collection types to social science research methodologies. Include the following:
The most commonly used quantitative data-collection types in social sciences (Why are they so common?)
The least commonly used quantitative data-collection types in social sciences (Why are they not as common?)
The most commonly used qualitative data-collection types in social sciences (Why are they so common?)
The least commonly used qualitative data-collection types in social sciences (Why are they not as common?)
Explain the relevance of various data-collection types to research question(s). Include the following:
A classification of the data in each studyis it quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methodology? Be sure to include an example of each methodology.
An explanation of why this data-collection type fits well with your research question
What to Submit
To complete this project, you must submit the following:
Interview Presentation
This interview presentation, on a research topic of your field of study (My field of study is criminal justice), should include the information given in the directions to meet rubric requirements. Your project can be presented in a variety of formats but must include visual representation in addition to talking points. Make sure to utilize the speaker notes function in the presentation.
Project Two Rubric
Criteria Exemplary (100%) Proficient (85%) Needs Improvement (55%) Not Evident (0%)
Articulation of Response Exceeds proficiency in an exceptionally clear, insightful, sophisticated, or creative manner Clearly conveys meaning with correct grammar, sentence structure, and spelling Shows progress toward proficiency, but with errors in grammar, sentence structure, and spelling Submission has critical errors in grammar, sentence structure, and spelling
Attributes Exceeds proficiency in an exceptionally clear, insightful, sophisticated, or creative manner Describes attributes of a skilled consumer of research Shows progress toward proficiency, but with errors or omissions; areas for improvement may include a description of helpful consumer perspectives, how a skilled consumer of researcher knows when they have enough information, or how one can scrutinize the credibility of data Does not attempt criterion
Threats to Credibility Exceeds proficiency in an exceptionally clear, insightful, sophisticated, or creative manner Identifies multiple potential threats to the credibility of research results Shows progress toward proficiency, but with errors or omissions; areas for improvement may include a description of potential biases or perspectives that can threaten credibility, or an explanation of ethical issues that threaten the credibility of the results Does not attempt criterion
Data-Collection Types and Social Science Research Methodologies Exceeds proficiency in an exceptionally clear, insightful, sophisticated, or creative manner Analyzes the relationships between data-collection types and social science research methodologies Shows progress toward proficiency, but with errors or omissions; areas for improvement may include an identification of the most or least commonly used quantitative data-collections type, or an identification of the most or least commonly used qualitative data-collection type Does not attempt criterion
Relevance of Data Collection Types Exceeds proficiency in an exceptionally clear, insightful, sophisticated, or creative manner Explain the relevance of various data-collection types to research question(s) Shows progress toward proficiency, but with errors or omissions; areas for improvement may include a classification of the data in each study, an example of each methodology, or an explanation of why this data type fits with the research question Does not attempt criterion
Citations and Attributions Uses citations for ideas requiring attribution, with few or no minor errors Uses citations for ideas requiring attribution, with consistent minor errors Uses citations for ideas requiring attribution, with major errors Does not use citations for ideas requiring attribution
