There is a link between understanding the purpose of one\u2019s research and selecting the appropriate methods to investigate the questions that are derived from that purpose.\u2013(Newman, Ridenour, Newman, & DeMarco, G. M. P., Jr., 2003, p. 169)For this Discussion, you will evaluate the purpose statements in assigned journal articles in your discipline and consider the alignment of theory, problem, and purpose. You will also explain your position on the relationship between research and social change.Alignment means that a research study possesses clear and logical connections among all of its various components. To achieve these connections, researchers must carefully craft the components of their study such that when they are viewed together, there is a coherent interrelationship.As you read the authors\u2019 purpose statements, consider how well the intent of the study, and its connection to the problem and theoretical framework, is presented. Also consider if the purpose statement reveals the study\u2019s potential for engendering positive social change.As you know, social change is a distinguishing feature of Walden University\u2019s mission. Positive social change implies a transformation that results in positive outcomes. This can happen at many levels (e.g., individual, family systems, neighborhoods, organizations, nationally and globally); and positive social change can occur at different rates: slow and gradual or fast and radical.With these thoughts in mind, refer to the Journal Articles document for your assigned articles for this Discussion. You will switch your journal article assignment from Week 3. If your last name starts with A through L, use Article B. If your last name starts with M through Z, use Article A. Follow the prompt below for your program.Post a critique of the research study in which you:\u00b7 Evaluate the purpose statement using the Purpose Statement Checklist as a guide\u00b7 Analyze alignment among the theory, problem, and purpose\u00b7 Explain your position on the relationship between research and social changeBe sure to support your Main Issue Post and Response Post with reference to the week\u2019s Learning Resources and other scholarly evidence in APA Style.Purpose Statement ChecklistUse the following criteria to evaluate an author\u2019s purpose statement. Look for indications of the following: \u2022 Does the statement begin with signaling words? \u2022 Does the statement identify the research approach (quantitative, qualitative, or mixed)? \u2022 Does the statement clearly state the intent of the study? \u2022 Does the statement mention the participants? \u2022 Does the statement mention the research site? \u2022 Is the statement framed in a way that is consistent with the identified problem? If the study is qualitative, does the purpose statement do as follows? \u2022 Focus on a single phenomenon \u2022 Use an action verb to convey how learning will take place \u2022 Use neutral, nondirectional language \u2022 Provide a general definition of the central phenomenon If the study is quantitative, does the purpose statement do as follows? \u2022 Identify the variables under study \u2022 Provide a general definition of each key variable \u2022 Use words that connect the variables \u2022 Identify a theory If the study is mixed methods, does the purpose statement do as follows? \u2022 Discuss the reason(s) for mixing both quantitative and qualitative data \u2022 Include the characteristics of a good qualitative purpose statement (as listed above)Research Theory, Design, and Methods Walden University\u00a9 2016 Laureate Education, Inc.
