An explanation of the approach that you will use to address your research question(s) is part of the draft Dissertation Prospectus that you will submit in Week 11. This week’s Learning Resources provide guidance in identifying the research method (qualitative, quantitative or mixed method) and the research design that best align with your research question(s), and thus enable you to logically and effectively address the research problem. It is often noted that the research design is the “blueprint” applied in conducting a study. As you continue to develop the draft of your Prospectus and prepare for this Discussion, keep in mind the strengths and limitations of each of the different research designs and methods. Post your problem statement and your research question(s). Then describe the research method (qualitative, quantitative or mixed method) and the research design that best aligns with your research question. Explain why this would be the most appropriate strategy given your problem statement and research questions. Be specific and support your response.
