    This document provides a research design worksheet to help students align their quantitative and qualitative research questions with the appropriate research design. For quantitative research, it prompts students to state their research question and hypotheses, identify whether variables will be manipulated or occur naturally, consider cause-and-effect or prediction, and specify their independent and dependent variables. For qualitative research, it asks students to identify if they are studying a cultural group, bounded experience, participant perspectives, or theory development, and then choose the matching design type. Both sections inquire about data collection methods, sources, and the strengths and weaknesses of the selected approach.

    Interdisciplinary Research Methods Course

    Research Design Worksheet

    The specific research design that you select for your research proposal is based upon your
    research question. You have a quantitative and qualitative research question and will use a
    quantitative and qualitative research design, respectively. This worksheet will help you align
    each design with the associated research question.

    Quantitative

    Research question:
    ______________________________________________________________________________
    ______________________________________________________________________________

    Research hypothesis:
    ______________________________________________________________________________
    ______________________________________________________________________________

    Null hypothesis:
    ______________________________________________________________________________
    ______________________________________________________________________________

    Are your research questions and hypotheses manipulating variables (e.g. treatment/control,
    introduction of an intervention) or working with variables as they occur naturally in the
    environment (e.g. gender)? Are you comparing, considering cause/effect, or predicting? Based
    upon your responses, what type of design is appropriate?

    ______________________________________________________________________________
    ______________________________________________________________________________

    What data collection methods will you use? (Surveys, other data files) Where and how will data
    be obtained and from whom?
    ______________________________________________________________________________
    ______________________________________________________________________________

    What are the strengths/weaknesses of the data collection method(s) selected?


    ______________________________________________________________________________
    ______________________________________________________________________________

    State your independent variable(s) _________________________________________________


    State your dependent variable(s) __________________________________________________

    Qualitative

    Research question:
    ______________________________________________________________________________
    ______________________________________________________________________________

    Are you asking a question about a cultural group or experience, an experience bounded by
    space/time, the perspective of participants related to a specific experience, or interpretations of
    experiences to form theory? Based upon your response, what type of design is appropriate?

    ______________________________________________________________________________
    ______________________________________________________________________________

    What data collection methods will you use? (Interviews, observations, document reviews)
    Where will data be collected and from whom/what?
    ______________________________________________________________________________
