Research Tips
The College of Doctoral Studies at Grand Canyon University (GCU) has recently adopted several core research methodologies as the preferred designs for learners to implement for their doctoral dissertations. This series will provide an overview of each of those designs.
Research is broadly divided into two categories: qualitative and quantitative. Within each of those categories are multiple designs and methods. Among the qualitative methodologies is grounded theory.
Grounded theory is an inductive, qualitative research method that studies a particular situation or phenomenon. It may be applied to quantitative research data, but it is generally considered a qualitative method. While similar to the case study method that focuses on a single situation or…
The 2014 Teaching Professor Conference will be held May 30 – June 1, 2014 in Boston, Massachusetts. The deadline for submitting a proposal is November 1, 2013. See http://www.teachingprofessor.com/conferences/conference/proposals for details.
The Teaching Professor invites proposals for the 2014 Teaching Professor Conference. Now in its 11th year, The Teaching Professor Conference provides a thought-provoking and stimulating forum for educators of all disciplines and experience levels to share practical ideas and best practices that advance college teaching and learning.
We invite submissions for our 45- and 75-minute concurrent sessions as well as poster sessions. Submissions should relate to one of the following topical areas,…

Research is broadly divided into two categories: qualitative and quantitative. Within each of those categories are multiple designs and methods. Among the qualitative methodologies is narrative inquiry.
Narrative inquiry is a qualitative research method that explores and interprets the lives of a particular individual(s) through the stories of the individual(s). The goal of narrative inquiry is to make meaning through connecting small parts to a whole from the observations and stories of the…

Research is broadly divided into two categories: qualitative and quantitative. Within each of those categories are multiple designs and methods. Among the qualitative methodologies is The case study method.
A case study is a qualitative research method that explores and interprets a single situation. The case study may focus on an individual such as a leader or teacher, or it may focus on a particular process, program, or setting. The research questions in a case study typically address why or…

Research is broadly divided into two categories: qualitative and quantitative. Within each of those categories are multiple designs and methods. Among the qualitative methodologies is phenomenology.
Phenomenology is a qualitative research method concerned with the perceptions of study participants. In its purest form, phenomenology begins with no preconceived hypotheses and has a goal of describing a particular situation (phenomenon) rather than explaining the observed situation. In practice,…

Research is broadly divided into two categories: qualitative and quantitative. Within each of those categories are multiple designs and methods. Among the quantitative methodologies are non-experimental designs.
Non- experimental designs differ from experimental designs in the fact that there is no manipulation of the circumstances; that is there is no treatment or condition change. The College of Doctoral Studies at GCU has approved two non-experimental designs. These are the…

Research is broadly divided into two categories: qualitative and quantitative. Within each of those categories are multiple designs and methods. Among the quantitative methodologies are quasi-experimental designs.
Quasi- experimental designs are similar to experimental designs. They are designs in which a controlled experiment is carried out in order to determine if there exist statistical similarities within or between groups of subjects. The process requires a pre-test and a post-test of the…
This article explores the broad topic of research funding through the lens of the Templeton Foundation. The article brings up the question of how much funding influences research outcomes.
