Example 1Research MethodologyTranscendental phenomenology is a.docxcravennichole326
Example 1
Research Methodology
Transcendental phenomenology is a research methodology where researchers gain first-hand information about the participant’s experience with the specific phenomenon. The researcher then reports that information just as the participant expressed it, without adding in any biases or interpretations (Percy & Kostere, 2008). Creswall and Poth (2018) have said that transcendental phenomenology would be best used when the goal is to obtain the participant’s raw feelings and lived experience about a phenomenon.
The sampling strategy that will be utilized is utilization focused sampling. In this sampling strategy, cases are selected in order to provide researchers with in-depth information that can lead to better decision-making in the future (Patton, 2015). This sampling strategy was chosen because they study will focus on parent experiences with token economies, which will provide practitioners with better direction on token economy implementation. If researchers find out what the families liked and didn’t like about the token economy, then future implementation could potentially exclude some of those disliked portions to make the token economy more likely to be implemented by families.
Data will be collected through interview. In order to ensure that researcher bias is not included, the researcher will bracket her own beliefs in the margin (Capella, 2006). The sample size will be approximately 8 participants. Creswall and Poth (2018) reported that a sample size for phenomenology ranges from 3-15. By choosing 8 participants, there leaves room for participants to drop out, hopefully without falling below the recommended minimum.
Interview Questions
1. Prior to this study, what were some experiences you have had with a token economy?
2. What are your feelings about the token economy?
3. What did you like about the token economy?
4. What did you dislike about the token economy?
5. Can you describe a time where you experienced a complication with the token economy?
6. What were some things that were particularly easy about the token economy?
7. What were some things that were particularly difficult about the token economy?
8. How would you feel if you were asked to implement a token economy for another month?
9. How did your child adjust to the token economy?
10. What were some changes you had to make in order to develop the token economy?
Professor feedback
Below is general feedback that I am going to try to share with everyone:
Researchers have to be sure that they identify an appropriate sampling strategy and sample size, and then provide support for the choices that are made (support from primary sources, not textbooks). The decisions that are made regarding the strategies that are used to conduct the study need to be presented with a well-supported rationale. In other words, after you have read about the various sampling methods used within qualitative research, choose the method that best fits your study, .

Research problem is a question that a researcher wants to answer or a problem that a researcher wants to solve. Identification and formulation of a research problem is the first step of the research process.
However, it is considered as one of the most challenging and difficult phases of any research project. It is believed that selection of a good research problem is a discovery in itself.
Selection of a research problem depends on several factors, such as researcher's knowledge, skills, interest, expertise, motivation, and creativity with respect to the subject of inquiry.
In addition, a researcher needs to ensure that a selected problem has high significance and implication for his or her profession as well as it should be a suitable, feasible, testable, and solvable research problem.
It is believed that most of the good research studies need lots of time for selection of a research problem. Initially, every researcher faces the predicament of identifying, selecting, and formulating a good research problem. This chapter will answer these pertinent questions.
