Research Presentation. Assume you are asked to
present a half hour talk about research in human

broad areas descriptive, qualitative, and
quantitative. Some researchers subsume
descriptive research (archival) as quantitative.

it a separate kind, as descriptive research can
fall into either area qualitative or
quantitative. Your assignment for this discussion
is to prepare a 250-300 word post differentiating
qualitative, quantitative, and analysis of
availability data. Identify those attributes that
form the essence of these three research venues.

Plan. Research can vary from highly sophisticated
experimental studies to less rigorous short term
investigations. Each research approach has
advantages and disadvantages. Among the different
paradigms you could use, two of the more common
are the positivist approach and the
interpretive approach (consult pages 39-40 in
the text). If you were interested in determining
if the Canadian National Health Plan was better
(better in terms of care, coverage, and choice of
doctors) then the current United States Health
Coverage Plan
