Outline for Your Quantitative Research (Survey) Data Analysis

You just turned in your qualitative data analysis, and your groups will start forwarding surveys out.

You thought you had a break. But don't get too comfortable. You have a few other projects on the horizon.

One of those assignments is the quantitative research data analysis.

This assignment is a continuation of your research project for your client. Please refer to your previous data as you write this section so you can provide a complete picture and an informed, professional research report to your client.

Please make sure to incorporate your previous qualitative data, your previous discussions, your client’s suggestions, and your class materials on quantitative methods of data gathering to complete this assignment.

You will follow the same format as you used in the qualitative data analysis. Refer to the blog post on the sections I require.

For the quantitative data analysis assignment, you need to explain the sampling procedure for the survey research, how your group constructed a questionnaire for a particular public (e.g., undergraduate students, staff, volunteers) using the guidelines for writing questions and demonstrate an understanding of questionnaire organization and distribution as well as strengths and weaknesses of surveying as a method of gathering data.


You need to answer the following questions in your group paper.
Method Section
1. Discuss what is quantitative research. What quantitative method did you select to use? Discuss the benefits and disadvantages of this method in comparison to qualitative methods and other quantitative methods (e.g., content analysis, experiments).
2. Sample: Identify study population and a sampling frame. Explain your choices.
3. Sampling Strategy: List one nonprobability and one probability sampling strategy that can be used in this study. Explain your choices. How would you proceed in implementing these samplings? Choose one to focus on for your next answer and explain why you chose that one method of sampling.
4. Procedure: Describe specific steps one should take to proceed with implementing your survey: how to contact potential respondents, who should be in charge of implementing the survey. Who will need to analyze results? Briefly explain each of your choices. Discuss how you distributed the questionnaire. Why did you choose this mode of distribution?

Findings/Results
Evaluate your collected data. Using SPSS, run descriptive statistics. In your paper, discuss the demographics of those who responded and discuss any statistically relevant correlations.

Recommendations
Discuss your results and analysis. In light of what you found, what would you recommend to your client? GIve global yet robust recommendations.
