Dr. Franklin
Chapter Overview
• Chapter III is your thesis or project
“recipe”.
• You describe the steps you took to conduct
your research or designed your project.
• How detailed should it be?
• The reader should have enough
information that he/she could replicate
your research with the same or similar
population and arrive at the same results.
Re-Introduce the Reader
• What is it again you are doing?
– Purpose statement
– Objective
– A paragraph or two.
• If the reader is interested in your
methodology, he/she does not have to go
back and forth through Chapter I to revisit
the purpose and objectives.
Operational Framework
• A visual representation of your steps to
complete your research.
• Construct a flow-chart with labels.
• Make it a “figure” for your document.
• Follow APA style for formatting a “figure”.
• Be sure to have a narrative of your
Operational Framework.
• Tell the reader what occurs at each step.

Data Gathering Procedures
– Interview

• Non-participatory
Instrument Validation
• Does the instrument measure the
constructs we intend to measure?
• Is the instrument reliable?
– If we retest the subjects with the same
instrument over a period of time (with no
treatment in between), will they respond the
same?
– Is there inter-item reliability?
Instrument Validation

• Does it measure what you want it to
measure?

• What characteristics do they share that
includes them in your population of
interest?
• Will you include all members of the
population in your study? (Census).
• What is the total number? (N)
Sampling
• Is the size of our population so big that a census
is too costly, or will take too much time?
• Sample the population
– Random
– Stratification
– Proportional
– Clusters
– Purposive
• Sample must be representative of the population
Response Rate
• How many participants responded to your
survey?
– Early vs late respondents
– Respondents vs non-respondents
– Controlling for non-response error
• Reporting your response rate
Data Analysis Procedures
• Statistical procedures (ie. use of SAS,
SPSS, or another analysis software
program)
• Descriptive
• Inferential
• Qualitative – transcription of interviews
(coding, categorizing, etc.)
• Use of specialized procedures
