CHAPTER IV: DATA COLLECTION AND DATA ANALYSIS

(note: Chapter should be 10 – 20 pages)

(Approximately 10-20 pages for the entire chapter; approximately 1-2 paragraphs for the introduction) [Begin the discussion with a brief overview of the purpose of the research study and provide a brief overview of the chapter. Organize the chapter around the research question(s). Review the APA Manual and published, peer-reviewed, empirical research articles for examples of how to report results of various research designs.]

Note: If changes are made to instruments after proposal approval, through an expert review or pilot study, explain the changes made before explaining the results. Ensure the updated version of instruments are provided in the Appendix.

Descriptive Data

[Report the descriptives of the data collected. This may include the number of participants for each source of data collected, number of documents used in secondary data, demographic breakdown of the participants, length of interviews or focus groups, or other descriptive data point that can assist in understanding the population used within the study. Tables and Figures are beneficial to explain the data quickly. Tables and Figures must be explained within the text, as well.]

Results

[Data analyses – Report results without discussion (interpretation, speculation, etc. appears in the next section):

1. For Qualitative analyses

a. Present results logically and in a way that answers the research question(s) by distillation steps of the discernment process,

b. Present sufficient information so the reader can make an independent judgment about your interpretation,

c. Review published articles that use similar designs for examples of how to present qualitative, thematic findings (including explanation of codes, categories, and/or themes created during the analysis process),

d. Ensure that no potentially indentifying information is published.

Note: Triangulation of data should be explained in this section, if applicable. Tables and figures, where appropriate, are necessary and referred to in the text. Ensure compliance with APA format of tables, table titles, figures and figure captions. See APA, 6th ed, Chapter 5 for guidelines on displaying results.]

Example of tables provided:

Example of figures provided:

 

 

 

Figure 1. Case Study Research: A Linear but Iterative Process (Yin, 2018). Briefly describe what the Figure represents so that it is understood outside of the chapter.

 

Evaluation of Findings

[This section is used to briefly report what your findings mean. The discussion will be expanded in Chapter 5. Interpret results in light of the theory (or theories) and/or the conceptual framework(s) you have identified. Describe whether the results obtained were expected given the literature and provide potential explanations for unexpected or conflicting results. Take care to avoid drawing conclusions beyond what can be interpreted directly from the study results. Ensure to examine any weaknesses of the data that may have altered the findings. The conclusion of this section should state the specific answers to each Research Question posed in the study.]

Summary

[Discussion summarizes key points presented in Chapter 4. Provide a transition to Chapter 5.]
