      In this  part you need to understand the Research Design of your study and able to Construct the Research Design of your study

      The Learning Outcomes are: 

      1. Describe the components or parts of a Quantitative Research Design and Develop a Quantitative Research Design
      2. Describe the components of a Qualitative Research Design and Develop a Qualitative Research Design
      A research design is a blueprint or plan for the collection, measurement, and analysis of data, created to answer your research questions.

      You need to have a knowledge on what is quantitative research and the quantitative Research Design

      Quantitative methods emphasize objective measurements and the statistical, mathematical, or numerical analysis of data collected through polls, questionnaires, and surveys, or by manipulating pre-existing statistical data using computational techniques. Quantitative research focuses on gathering numerical data and generalizing it across groups of people or to explain a particular phenomenon.

      What is Qualitative Research
      The word qualitative implies an emphasis on the qualities of entities and on processes and meanings that are not experimentally examined or measured [if measured at all] in terms of quantity, amount, intensity, or frequency. Qualitative researchers stress the socially constructed nature of reality, the intimate relationship between the researcher and what is studied, and the situational constraints that shape inquiry. Such researchers emphasize the value-laden nature of inquiry. They seek answers to questions that stress how social experience is created and given meaning. In contrast, quantitative studies emphasize the measurement and analysis of causal relationships between variables, not processes. Qualitative forms of inquiry are considered by many social and behavioral scientists to be as much a perspective on how to approach investigating a research problem as it is a method.
