Methods and Procedures

• Quantitative
• Instrumentation
• Identify the procedures used for developing an
  instrument to gather the data.
• Cite evidence for the reliability and validity of
  the research instrument.
• Data Collection
• Describe how the data were obtained, timelines
  involved, and how materials were distributed.

• Qualitative
• Unit of Analysis
• Who or what will be the subject of the design,
  interviewed or observed? Be specific as to
  number, gender, ethnic origin, age, and position.
• Setting describe in detail
• Methods
• Interview, focus group, participant observation,
  field journal, document review or artifact
  analysis.

  deviation, correlation, frequency counts or
  percentages
• Inferential statistics, such as t-test,
