SLP: Using the information provided in the readings, create a table or summary list of the characteristics of the five quantitative (survey, correlation, group comparisons, intervention/experiment, and single subject) and qualitative (general, narrative, case study, ethnography, and grounded theory) designs. Arrange your summary or chart by research design. Try to create a table or summary list that will be a useful tool for you in the future, especially as it applies to your research study. Include the following elements in your chart/summary for each research design (4 pages):
• Description of the design and when it is appropriate to use
• Participant/sampling techniques
• Types of data collected
• Resource(s): Use the readings provided in Module 1 to provide a text or journal article that you think is the best reference for the design (think about what is useful to you in the future), explain your reasoning. If you have alternative resources, include them as well
• Write a brief statement (2–3 paragraphs) about which design you think might be most appropriate for your potential research problem. Explain your reasoning.
