Complete Week 11 in Final Project Template
Instrumentation. Please use your discussion for Week 11 to inform this section of your final project.When you are doing this assignment you should be talking about specific instruments that you would use to collect your quantitative data. This would be published surveys/instruments (example: Becks Depression InventoryBDI is one example but each area and topic may have published instruments that you could use). Just indicating that you will use a Likert scale to collect your data is not acceptable. A Likert scale is the way that an instrument or survey categorizes the answers to itemsit is not an instrument. Also, a demographic sheet (used to collect things like gender, age, education level, etc.) is not an instrument. It is just a demographic sheet and does not need to be tested to determine if it is reliable and valid. It just collects information.
Ethical Considerations of Study. Ethical considerations include things such as if a protected class of individuals (prisoners, children, individuals with cognitive delays, etc.) will be included in your sample. Other ethical considerations include how you will handle any biases in your attitudes about the topic or the data collection tools that you will use.
Potential Significance of Study. This is the social change element of your study. Dissertations generally dont end up having results that will change the world. How can you apply the results of your study to start to change the problem that you talked about in your problem statement? How can you eventually share the information you will glean from your study with those that can make social change occur?
Limitations of Study. What are some anticipated limitations of your study? This can include things like not having access to many participants to potential issues with technology that could impact your sample. This is a good way to plan for things that could derail your research.
Conclusions. Write a conclusion for your paper that is one to two paragraphs long.
