In this step, you are ready to start writing your introduction
The introduction would include some narrative that helps the reader understand how you became aware of the problem and to have some idea of what you intend to do in the study.
1.-First of all, think about a topic which you can study. Do not forget:
2.-Decide what type of methodology you are going to use
Qualitative data
Cuantitative data
Both
full review, expedited review, or exempt from review. The category is determined by the degree to which the study will involve and impact the subjects.
You need a review committee. Its function is to review and federally funded grant to consider the risks involved to the subjects participating in the study.
4.-Ethical considerations
3.-Write your problem statement
*Be realistic
*Do not be too abstract with your question
You must be interested in your topic
Identify a problem area
Qualitative research is useful for describing or answering questions about particular localized occurrences or contexts and the perspectives of a particular group toward events, beliefs or practices.
Quantitative research is based on the collection and analysis of numerical data. Underlying quantitative research methods is the belief or assumption that we inhabit a relatively stable, uniform, and coherent world that can be measured.
Because mixed studies are looking at two questions, one to be answered with a quantitative methodology and one with a qualitative methodology, the question must be a compound statement. It is recommended to use the word “and” in writing a problem statement. You can also write your purpose in two sentences, or in a list.
