Re:Module 4 DQ 1
Identify two empirical (peer-reviewed) research articles that
you used to justify the selection of your methodological
approach for your dissertation topic. Explain how the
methodologies used in these resources influenced your selection
of methodology and research design.
Due to the challenges of narrowing my topic related to
(Reading, Adults & Literacy), I sought to understand
methodology's used in research that presented evidenced related
to the impact of literacy programs on adult lifestyle changes.
This literature evaluated 74 researched studies and presented
percentages that showed quantitative studies held the highest at
63.5%, 19% qualitative, 10.8% mixed, and 6.7% theory building
methodologies utilized during 2006. According to Mikulecky,
Smith-Burke, & Beatty, (2009), the predominant method is clear
for most literary research. This information did not change may
choice for developing the qualitative study, but encouraged
shaping the purpose and direction towards the lived experience
of individuals challenged by literacy issues in adult life. A
glimpse areas specific to language, disabilities, learning,
women, literacy difficulties, and adult programs (Mikulecky,
Smith-Burke, & Beatty, 2009).
A recent research evaluated similar lived experiences paired by
social learning and literacy that shares the core component
(literacy) and uses a case study approach of two successful
doctoral students experiences with positive literacy identities,
value by examining their literacy histories (Howard, Adams-
Budde, Myers & Jolliff, 2017). This sociocultural approach is
similar to my initial thoughts about the emerging problems that
literature confirms needs to be assessed by social integration,
and adult learning programs. This research expands the
