Assignment Task
Summative Project Brief
The purpose of this project is to develop your understanding of the processes and techniques of research and develop your ability to assess the validity of research findings through interpretation and critical analysis of previous research. This will be done over the course of three questions. You will need to break up each of three pre-selected articles into their various research components in order to identify, compare, analyse and evaluate the research decisions made. The three pre-selected research articles have been chosen because of their sometimes different (and sometimes similar) approaches to research.

It is expected that you analyse the research articles by deconstructing the research decisions made by the author(s) using the theory covered throughout the module. Your understanding of the various elements of the research process will be assessed through your ability to provide an academically sound critique of the research articles, substantiated by a range of academic sources.
Various activities on Learn have been created to guide you through the analysis of the three pre-selected research articles. All answers provided will need to be well argued using more than one source. It is therefore expected that you undertake additional reading in order to appropriately justify any arguments and/or critiques made. You will have to engage with the various paradigms, methodologies and research expectations for both qualitative and quantitative research as well as the ethical considerations applicable to each.
By the end of the semester, you will have applied all the theory you have learned by making sense of why the researchers made the decisions they did, arguing if the decisions were sound, and when asked, providing alternatives. You will need to apply academic literacy skills throughout the project.
Question 1 – Write a report in which you analyse EACH of the pre-selected research articles to identify and discuss the research paradigm and design the authors followed, and then explain how this informed the decisions made by the researchers. And then applying critical thinking skills, you will need to consider alternate research methods, and motivate your choices using sources beyond your textbook.
Q.1.1 Identify the paradigm/tradition for each article. You will need to motivate each choice of paradigm using examples from each of the articles as well as a critical discussion of each of the paradigms chosen.
Q.1.2 Identify the following elements of the research design for each article. You will need to motivate using examples from each article, as well as theory from various sources.
Q.1.2.1 Research methodology.
Q.1.2.2 Type of research.
