is the theoretical framework that a study is situated in, informing the extent to which the researcher adopts a quantitative, qualitative or mixed methods approach. Methods refer to the specific data collection tools or instruments (Bitchener, 2010). Kinsella and Singleton’s (2014) research is a typical example of mixed methods design, in which quantitative and qualitative approaches are integrated to seek convergence (Creswell, 2003). The selected methods – a regional French accent…
literature to examine the general top-ic and objectives. As Kolb (2008) states, the secondary data supports the research planning process. As pointed out by Saunders et al. (2009) the secondary data provides valuable de-scriptive insights, wherewith…
Generating and analysing data Comparative analyses between racial/ethnic 'groups ' can be compromised if data collection tools operate differently for different 'groups ', for instance because of cultural incongruity. This is because languages requires the use of rigorous translation techniques with particular attention to ensuring conceptual equivalence. Researchers also need to be well informed about the cultural and social circumstances of research participants so that data are not…
When searching for information there are numerous ways to attain it. In sociology, there are two research methods that are commonly used. These two research methods are quantitative and qualitative. Gathering information through these two research methods allows researchers to describe, explore and explain various social phenomena. Quantitative methods seek to obtain information about the social world that is already in or can be converted to numeric form (Conley, 45). This method…
Critique of A research proposal on the title: “Financing share companies in Ethiopia: The law and the practice” Before I proceed to evaluate every section of the proposal, it is better to have some comments on the sentence structure, grammatical usage and the use of footnotes.

Besides, there are also problem of grammatical usage like instead of using the future tense, he used past tenses in some part of…
sufficient quality and are highly relevant to my area of concern. However, there are still some limitations of methodology applied. Davies et al. (2008) and Davies et al. (2013) used qualitative methodology, whereas Bagshaw et al. (2013) used quantitative methodology. Only Gilhooly et al. (2013) combined quantitative and qualitative methodology. As Hewitt-Taylor…

Support Program. The goal of SWPBIS is to prevent the development of problem behavior while increasing positive behavior and experiences, and reducing the instances of problem behavior currently being seen (Anderson & Kincaid, 2005). Through the data provided by the system, tracking of progress and recognizing potential problems is easier and faster than when individual teachers are held accountable for their own classrooms and no program…
mistake is reduced. Using the wrong data type is another potential error that can occur when creating a database this can be troublesome as if there is a relationship created between the tables and the mistake is found and changed then the database wouldn’t allow you to change the field where the data type is incorrect without removing the relationship first so it will be made into a long process of removing the relationship between the tables changing the data types for each of the table before…
