Step of the research process and how you would complete that step.

Note: This week you will work as a class to create a plan for evaluating the rite of passage program described in the assigned article. Each member of the class will be assigned one step of the research process:

3. Focused research questions and research hypothesis

4. Research methods

5. Sampling issues and options

6. Measurement

7. Data acquisition

8. Data collection instruments

9. Analyzing data

10. Disseminating research findings

To prepare for this Discussion, read the Poitier et al. study and then revisit what you have learned about your assigned step of the research process. Consider what would be the most important information to share with your colleagues about that step. Together the class will create a research plan for evaluating the rite of passage program described in the assigned article.
