What is the difference between a methodology and a method?
PART 3: METHOD METHODOLOGYLength: 1500 words (5-6 pages) + BibliographyYou will begin by drawing from course material to answer the following key question:What is the difference between a methodology and a method?From here you will explain The methodology you would utilize to study your topic (if you were to study it further) and whyYou will compare 2 potential methods for exploring your research topic (from any of the onesdiscussed in the course) and argue your reasoning for including and/or excluding each method. In doing so, you will select a method that you feel would be best suited to move forward with (ifyou were to do original research in the future on your topic). Describe how would you plan to conduct the research (including who and what you will bestudying, and where and when it would take place: i.e. which people, groups, and places oncampus will you find answers to your research question?).Ask yourself: how does this method, or set of methods, help you explore your research topic andanswer your research question/statement effectively?Make sure to cite the course readings, in-class lecture materials, and external academic literature for allelements of this assignment (approx. 1500 words plus references).REMEMBER: You are not expected to undertake the research project. Rather, you are exploring what youwould do IF you had ethics approval (and more time and more expertise). This assignment could include, forexample, the list of questions that you would want to ask research participants (in order to gain data to meet theobjectives that you have outlined). Be very specific in the application of the course material, for example it isdesirable that we use open-ended questions that prompt a full answer rather than yes or no
How did the poll or article misrepresent the facts? How might you rewrite the title of the article more accurately?
This week you will look at misleading information that you are exposed to every day. Find an example of a survey or poll or even a tweet that you think might be misleading.How would you support your conclusions? You want to use statistical reasoning here not personal opinion. Places to look might be online polls where anyone can answer. If the title of a survey is misleading, how would you correct it?Was the sample representative? Be sure to read the methodology of a survey and not only the responses to the questions. For example, you may think the sampling was not representative of the population, but you have to discuss how sampling was actually done to support your claim.Another place to look are articles written by people who clearly dont understand statistics but use legitimate data like the example below.The title of the article, New Low of 49% in U.S. Say Death Penalty Applied Fairly (https://news.gallup.com/poll/243794/new-low-say-death-penalty-applied-fairly.aspx (Links to an external site.)), is misleading because 49% is the point estimate. You have to click on survey methods at the bottom to find the margin of error was 4%. This means the true percentage in the population could have been as low as 45% but as high as 53%. Therefore the title of the article is very misleading.After locating your inaccurate poll or article, respond to the following questions.How did the poll or article misrepresent the facts? How might you rewrite the title of the article more accurately?What was the author trying to get you to think? Why? What could be the ramifications of believing false information?Find and describe an article that refutes this information, if possible.Have you ever been sent articles that you believed just by reading the title? What was the result?
