Research Design Analysis

Throughout this course you will construct a Scholar Practitioner Project which will be a mixed methods research protocol. The protocol will outline a research design including a survey and focus groups. The paper should identify a target population, the research question the study will investigate, the basic design it will employ, the sampling plan and a brief discussion of the data collection plan. The paper should include an appendix comprised of the survey instrument and focus group moderator’s guide.
