Descriptive research aims to describe characteristics or phenomena without manipulating the environment, while summative research tests hypotheses through systematic procedures with random participants. The document then outlines various research methods, categorizing them as low or high effort. These include observational methods like buzz reports and ethnography as well as interactive methods like surveys, interviews, and usability testing.
By the end of this presentation you should be able to:
Describe the common qualitative research approaches
Demonstrate how and when to conduct different types of qualitative research
Understand that focus group discussion and interview are not qualitative research methods or designs. They are just tools for data collection.

comunicación masiva. Lo actual en la comunicación. El último avance del hombre es el internet; este surgió a finales de los 60 como un proyecto de defensa para los Estados Unidos; es la fusión de la infraestructura de la red ya existente y los sistemas de telecomunicaciones. Internet es a la vez una oportunidad de difusión mundial, un mecanismo donde se propaga la información y un medio de colaboración e interacción entre los individuos y sus ordenadores sin importar su ubicación geográfica.
En el internet encontramos:
Buscadores: sitios en los cuales se encuentra organizada la información. entre los motores de búsqueda de mayor importancia tenemos: yahoo y google
Listas de correos: es un servicio gratuito para envió y recepción de mensajes.
Aparte de lograr comunicar a varias personas desde un ordenador a otro grupo ubicado en otra parte del mundo el internet es un medio de entretenimiento; ahora es muy común el uso de Chat (Esta frase significa hablar) donde se da el encuentro entre dos o más personas en Internet que mantienen una conversación en tiempo real. Entre los programas de chat mas usados en el mundo se encuentra el MSN Messenger.
ATM
El ATM fue desarrollado con CNET. Al contrario de las redes sincrónicas (como las redes telefónicas, por ejemplo), en donde los datos se transmiten de manera sincrónica, es decir, el ancho de banda se comparte (multiplexado) entre los usuarios según una desagregación temporaria, una red ATM transfiere datos de manera asíncrona, lo que significa que transmitirá los datos cuando pueda.
Además, las redes ATM sólo transmiten paquetes en forma de celdas con una longitud de 53 bytes (5 bytes de encabezado y 48 bytes de datos) e incluyen identificadores que permiten dar a conocer la calidad del servicio (QoS), entre otras cosas. La calidad de servicio representa un indicador de prioridad para paquetes que dependen de la velocidad de red actual.

Week 4: Data Collection: Choosing Sources
(People, Places, and Things)
The research team met again to consider data sources. A research consultant facilitated the discussion and identified issues to be addressed in order for the results to be credible. Three key areas needed further study before they went into the field. These areas included:
1. How is the program positioned in the community, particularly regarding trust, diversity, and access? (Or as one team member said, “How do we see ‘them’? And, how do we think they ‘see’ us?”)
This issue initiated an action plan for an organizational self-study to produce reflexive data before, during, and after field data collection.
2. What data sources would best answer the research questions?
Multiple sources, including families who had used program services as well as those that did not; field observations (going out into neighborhoods to become acquainted with local, non-professional resources); and the materials collected from the self-study.
3. How many participants should be included in the sample?The consultant clarified that the purpose of the sample was not to generalize to the target population—so bigger is not better. Rather, the team was encouraged to focus on selecting typical cases—homogenous, sub-groups—in order to efficiently saturate and develop a “solid understanding” (Guest, Bunce & Johnson, 2006, p. 77) of the phenomenon of the childcare experience in this community. The saturation goal means that the sample process is emergent and may change as the data become available.
As you can see in the ongoing scenario, before venturing out into the field, researchers must consider how they will manage credibility of the data. As a qualitative researcher, you too will have to address the sources of data as well as your credibility.
For this week, you will examine research questions, explore qualitative research design, and consider purposeful sampling and saturation as a qualitative researcher.
Learning Objectives
Students will:
· Evaluate research related to qualitative research design
· Evaluate purposeful sampling related to qualitative research design
· Evaluate saturation related to qualitative research design

CHAPTER 8
Qualitative Methods
It was not the detachment, the distance, or the objectivity, we believed, that made a research project
great, it was the involvement, the closeness, and the subjectivity. We never heard anyone praise an
ethnography by saying, “Wow, you really kept your distance from the participants.” Rather, research
generated credibility by the closeness of researchers to their respondents and by how well they
captured the essence of the lives and perspectives of the people they studied.
—Adler and Adler, 2012, p. 18
Selecting a qualitative research team: Research team members may be selected based on commitment
to the research process, counseling skills, and cultural competence, including respect for the
dimensions of African cultural values. . . . Counseling skills equip team members with the ability to
self-reflect, build rapport, and otherwise respectfully interact with participants.
—Lyons, Bike, Johnson, and Bethea, 2012, p. 159

The research team met again to consider data sources. A research consultant facilitated the discussion and identified issues to be addressed in order for the results to be credible. Three key areas needed further study before they went into the field. These areas included:
1. How is the program
positioned
in the community, particularly regarding trust, diversity, and access? (Or as one team member said, “How do we see ‘them’? And, how do we think they ‘see’ us?”)
This issue initiated an action plan for an organizational self-study to produce
reflexive
data before, during, and after field data collection.
2. What data sources would best answer the research questions?
Multiple sources
, including families who had used program services as well as those that did not; field observations (going out into neighborhoods to become acquainted with local, non-professional resources); and the materials collected from the self-study.
3. How many participants should be included in the sample?
The consultant clarified that the purpose of the sample was not to generalize to the target population—so bigger is not better. Rather, the team was encouraged to focus on selecting
typical cases
—homogenous, sub-groups—in order to efficiently
saturate
and develop a “solid understanding” (Guest, Bunce & Johnson, 2006, p. 77) of the phenomenon of the childcare experience in this community. The saturation goal means that the sample process is emergent and may change as the data become available.
As you can see in the ongoing scenario, before venturing out into the field, researchers must consider how they will manage credibility of the data. As a qualitative researcher, you too will have to address the sources of data as well as your credibility.
For this week, you will examine research questions, explore qualitative research design, and consider purposeful sampling and saturation as a qualitative researcher.
The answer lies in how clearly you articulate the criteria for selecting data sources; (b) your ability to purposefully select cases; and (c) the extent to which those cases are “information-rich… for in-depth study” (Patton, 2015, p. 264) with respect to the purpose of the study.
As you prepare for this week’s Discussion, consider turning your attention to the variety of purposeful sampling strategies you may consider in developing your research plan. Also consider that qualitative researchers seek a threshold or cut-off point for when to stop collecting data. There is no
magic number
(although there are guidelines). Rather, saturation occurs as an interface between the researcher and the data and (b) between data collection and data analysis to determine when enough is enough.
For this Discussion, you will critique a sampling strategy used in a research article.
To prepare for this Discussion:
· Review the Guest, Bunce, and Johnson article; the Yob and Brewer article; and the Learning Resources related to sampling and saturation for this .

My research study seeks to investigate the types of support leaders can provide Gen Z in the workplace to help them grow in their careers, as well as for the realization of organizational goals. Therefore, the participants of the study will comprise of Gen Z employees and organizational leaders, mostly managers. The participants will be selected using a convenience sample that will include Gen Z in my workplace, whose help I will use to recruit their friends who are also Gen Z in various workplaces. According to Dudovskiy (2022), convenience sampling is a non-probabilistic method that involves getting participants from wherever is convenient, and wherever one can find them. At the same time, convenience sampling has no inclusion criteria and is used for issues about perceptions. Therefore, convenience sampling will be an appropriate sampling method for this study because it involves investigating the perceptions of particular groups about an issue affecting them.
The confidentiality and anonymity of participants is a critical issue to pay attention to when gathering data. Adhering to these tenets informs the ethical side of research. Anonymity is mostly associated with qualitative studies and involves collecting data without identifying or personal information of the participants (Coffelt, 2017). Whereas anonymity is important in any research study, it will be more critical for my researc ...

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
Hello everyone! I am thrilled to present my latest portfolio on LinkedIn, marking the culmination of my architectural journey thus far.

You could be a professional graphic designer and still make mistakes. There is always the possibility of human error. On the other hand if you’re not a designer, the chances of making some common graphic design mistakes are even higher. Because you don’t know what you don’t know. That’s where this blog comes in. To make your job easier and help you create better designs, we have put together a list of common graphic design mistakes that you need to avoid.
