Critically analyse congruence between methodology, study design, methods, and specific data collection and analysis tools and approaches.

Specific Guidelines: (REFERENCE EVERY STATEMENT APA/HAVARD STYLE WITH A RECENT PAPER 2017/17-2021 & PARAPHRASE ADEQUATELY BECAUSE TURNITIN MUST HIGHLIGHT ALL COPIED WORDS IN RED HENCE THESE MATERIALS ATTACHED HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED BEFORE)
1. Written Assignment – Critical evaluation and synthesis of literature related to research topic, leading to development of a research question. This will include critical analysis of methodological approaches, with consideration of different ontological and epistemological approaches, demonstrating evaluation of both qualitative and quantitative data analysis.

Note: Do a NARRATIVE LITRATURE REVIEW but the Discuss the literature using THEMATIC ANALYSIS. (6000 words excluding reference and preliminary pages)

Use the word named document attached “updated search strategy” & “Melvin’s final dissertation” to borrow some content & structure.
Have a robust reference list and make this search repeatable and clear as possible
Feel free to include relevant peer reviewed study you can find.

• Pick a topic: The perception of young people towards the use of e-cigarette: A Phenomenological study
• Pick database website relevant to your topic.
• Gather your peer reviewed literature and adopt a reliable, valid, and trustworthy materials matching your topic.
• With an up-to-date CASP tool you can score it
• All the research literature you have read, connect all and reference.
• Do a NARRATIVE LITRATURE REVIEW but the Discuss the literature using THEMATIC ANALYSIS.
• Review the literature to find out what is known and unknown about your study.
• Look for the themes that identify the literature matching your topic, by then you will be able to identify a gap in the study or literature.
• Then you can finish by saying that here is my research based on the literature.
• Pick a model & follow your pattern holistically Eg. PICO, SPIDER etc
• With your level of foresight and novelty, produce an aim, objectives and research question that needs an answer.
• Convince & Justify why they need an answer.
• Defend every word or sentence in your inclusion and exclusion criteria, the time frame of the study eg. 2017-2021, database eg. Cochrane, Pubmed etc
Note:
why “perception and why phenomenological study approach is best compared to other qualitative and quantitative study? Why interviews or focus group? Why your data collection method? How am I going to analyse it? The depth and quality of your thoughts is key.

Aims
1) to enable students to justify their research approach and potential study designs, and demonstrate appropriate research skills that are congruent with their chosen methodology. Therefore, the module will:

2) Equip students to justify and develop a study design that is congruent with their research question and chosen paradigm.
Enable students to evaluate research from a variety of methodologies.

1) Critically analyse congruence between methodology, study design, methods, and specific data collection and analysis tools and approaches.
2) Develop and critically analyse a research study design that is congruent with their research question and methodology.
3) Evaluate and develop their own practical research skills in different methodologies in health and social care.
4) Evaluate the strengths, limitations, implications and relevance of research methods in relation to their own inquiry.
5) Select and apply philosophical knowledge, ethical principles, relevant research skills and practical considerations applying to their research study, in order to demonstrate a command of the decision-making process in study design.
