You previously completed this assignment, below are attached directions, I will also attach the assignment already completed with professor feedback. Original Instructions: Access the Sage Research Methods and explore the methods and design resources available at this site. Consider searching by method or design, and a link to the Methods Map will appear at the top of the search results along with the list of resources available for that specific method and design. From there, explore the Methods Map based on the type of method and design you believe is best to address your research topic. This week you will create a summary of: 1) the research method and design you plan to use to investigate your research topic, and 2) a theoretical framework from which you will work from and contribute to. Your discussion should address the following: Note a specific method and design you plan to use in your research. Quantitative studies must demonstrate both internal and external validity (e.g., large, random samples; statistical power; and representativeness). Qualitative studies must demonstrate validity within the context of the specific qualitative design (., credibility, dependability, transferability, trustworthiness) NOTE: Replication studies are not permitted in NCU doctoral dissertation work. Describe and substantiate the appropriateness of the method and design to respond to the stated problem, purpose, and research questions. Note how the proposed method and design accomplish the study goals, why the design is the optimum choice for the proposed research, and how the method aligns with the purpose and research questions. Provide appropriate foundational research method support for the proposed study design. Explain the particular data gathering techniques and data analysis processes. Sample size of the study population should be identified and must be appropriate and justified based on the nature of the study design. Quantitative analyses must include justified sample size determination. Identify a specific theory that is applicable to your topic and problem you have identified. Review all literature you have compiled so far on your topic and problem. Review the literature for specific theories that are relevant and describe how your study will contribute to a particular theory.
