RESEARCH PAPER. Critical Thinking – worldview. Thinking Christianly About the World

Have you ever watched a TV talk show or news program and after hearing some dialog you started talking to one or more of the panelists because you were frustrated at their comments? You knew that they couldn’t hear you, but you still couldn’t help yourself! At other times you might agree with the host or their guest, and you want to add your ideas to the discussion. Debates of ideas are often articulated in these formats, and they provide viewers with the opportunity to hear various sides of an issue. The debates are often the result of differing frameworks that people bring to an issue. Two or more people disagree about a particular topic because they are approaching that topic with a different set of presuppositions (things assumed to be true, partially true or completely false) and perspectives that can be described as worldviews.

DESIGNING THE TRIANGULATION APPROACH TO ADDRESS THE RESEARCH PROBLEM

DESIGNING THE TRIANGULATION APPROACH TO ADDRESS THE RESEARCH PROBLEM
Assignment Overview
In this Case Assignment, you will be reading several articles and sources describing data collection protocols, arrangements, and relationships, and the kinds of issues that need to be considered in developing a set of procedures for your study. You will then be asked to construct a basic procedure list and plan for your study, taking these issues into consideration and allowing for the decisions you previously made regarding design, measures, and respondents.

As the course progresses, you will be making a series of decisions in which you will increasingly specify the structure of your project. These decisions build on each other in critical ways. However, you are not locked into previous decisions if you subsequently decide you need to change direction. As before, you have an opportunity to go back and revise and/or extend the previous sections completed in previous modules. If you do revise earlier sections, please include them and indicate what changes you have made to them. Case grades given for the first four modules will be advisory rather than final. Your ultimate grade will be based on the completed methodology at the end of the course.

Prepare a 5- to 7-page paper in accordance with the following Assignment Expectations, describing the procedural issues for your project, in accordance with the following outline:

1. Briefly describe the organization within which you are working for your project, and your relationship to it.

2. Identify your organizational contact/liaison person(s), their role within the organization, how you got involved with them, the role that you expect them to play in regard to your project, and the arrangements you have for maintaining regular contact with them.

3. Complete a basic plan/timeline for your project, according to the following grid. Identify the principal activities you will need to carry out, the approximate dates when you might complete them (or, if you’re unable to identify specific dates, at least how long you expect each activity to take), and any necessary prerequisites for any of these activities (that is, things that have to happen before the activity can be undertaken).

4. Identify any potential sources of difficulty or complication for your project—that is, things that might make it difficult to complete. For each difficulty, identify any ideas you might have about how to overcome it, and any kind of specific help you might need to resolve these issues.
