Planning Research Tasks (cont’d.) TASK #3: Identify needed data and their sources TASK #4: List the steps needed to complete the study Include sampling procedures (if necessary), descriptions of what will be expected of participants, and methods of ensuring quality of data TASK #5: Specify the procedures and tools to be used in data collection Include description of data collection instruments

TASK #6: Foresee how data can best be analyzed and interpreted Differentiate between qualitative and quantitative data Anticipate possible findings and conclusions TASK #7: Anticipate the appropriate report format, based on a generic format: 1. Specification of the problem 2. Review of related literature 3. Procedures and data collection 4. Data analysis 5. Findings 6. Conclusions
