The goal of Method Activity 2 is to advance the skills developed in the first method activity by
incorporating more complex research analysis, deepening your engagement with the scientific
method, and synthesizing concepts from Chapters 6 and 7. By now, you should be more familiar
with the research process, particularly in terms of methodology and data collection. This
assignment requires you to critically reflect on your research, describe how it is evolving, and
articulate the direction your research is heading as it connects to your overall project.
This activity will also serve as a foundational step toward your Literature Review project. You
will demonstrate mastery in discussing the methods you are employing, reflect on data
collection, and consider how these contribute to answering your research questions. Pay special
attention to the terminologies and methodologies discussed in Chapters 6 and 7 and
synthesize them into your ongoing research process
Structure of Structure of Method Activity 2:
1. Introduction
○ Briefly introduce your research topic, including your research questions and
hypotheses.
○ Provide an overview of where you are in your research process.
2. Data Collection and Methodology
○ Describe in detail your data collection methods. What tools are you using, and
why?
○ Reflect on any challenges or adjustments made to your original data collection
plan.
○ Explain how your methods connect to either qualitative or quantitative
approaches.
3. Scientific Method in Action
○ Outline how you are applying the scientific method to your research.
○ Discuss how you are formulating hypotheses, identifying variables (both
independent and dependent), and testing your research questions.
○ Evaluate the successes and challenges you have encountered in applying this
method.
4. Synthesis of Chapters 6 & 7
○ Reflect on key concepts from Chapters 6 and 7 of the textbook.
○ Discuss how the reading informs your current research methods and data
collection process.
○ Integrate relevant terms and theories from these chapters into your analysis.
5. Reflection on Research Progress
○ Provide a critical reflection on where your research is heading. What have you
learned so far?
○ How are your findings shaping your understanding of your research questions?
○ Discuss how your research methods are contributing to the overall project and
future directions, including the upcoming Literature Review.
6. Conclusion
○ Summarize your progress, noting any significant adjustments made along the
way.
○ Discuss the next steps in your research and how you will address any remaining
challenges.
Expectations: William H. Hannon Library Search: Students should use ProQuest and other
academic databases from the William H. Hannon Library to find peer-reviewed journal
articles and primary sources relevant to their research. They should identify the
databases they use and explain why these resources are important for their research
goals
Primary Data and Research Significance: Identify the primary data being collected
and discuss how this data is central to the research. Explain how this data serves the
overall study and its potential contribution to the field.
● Variables and Depth of Analysis: Analyze the variables (independent and dependent)
at play in their research and how these are measured. Take the paper further by (cont’d)
