SSGS500 Research Design and Methods
Week 1 Forum
Introduction
to Social Science Research
In week 1
we discussed some general purposes for carrying out social science research,
research ethics, and strategies for carrying out preliminary research. Take a look at this video on the APUS Library
to help get you acquainted with the recent updates that have taken place within
our library. To also help you navigate
the library check out the Ask a Librarian Playlist. Here you’ll find information on LibAnswers!,
how to search for books, how to search for articles and more.
Within this
course the assignments are scaffolded in that each of them should help you
complete the final assignment in this course – an 8-10 page research
proposal. To help jump start the
planning process, this week you’ll need to discuss your research interests as
they pertain to your field of study be it criminal justice, international
relations, intelligence studies or etc.
Here the goal of the discussion is to help you narrow in on a possible
research question you’d like to frame out for your week 3 assignment, and will
ultimately come to use in your research proposal.
Using the
online library, navigate to the library’s “articles & databases”
section and look within the Security & Global Studies database list. Using one or more of the databases find 3
peer-reviewed journal articles to help you articulate your research
interests. When talking about the topic
you are interested in researching be sure to reference the articles using the
writing style specific to your field of study.
For those in criminal justice this mean APA, for everyone else, you’ll
need to use the
Turabian
author-date method (also known as the parenthetical or in-text citation method)
as this will be good practice for all future posts and assignments. If you have questions on these writing styles
please review the information presented in the Course Overview section of the
class. In addition to presenting your
research topic, and research question, your post should reflect that you have
read this week’s lesson material and demonstrate that you have a sense of the
research cycle and what it means to carry out ethical research.
What
challenges are you having in coming up with a unique and narrowly focused
research question? Did you have any
challenges findings articles within the library? If so what did you do to alter your search
parameters? Do you anticipate any
difficulties in any of the phases of the research cycle as you pursue research
on your topic?
Please
attach the three peer-reviewed articles you found within the online
library. At the end of your post you
should have a “References” list that lists these using the writing
style that corresponds to a references list or a bibliography.
I know that
the discussion standards for the graduate level can be a bit of a mystery when
you are just starting out. Take a look
at the following blog post to help you get a feel for graduate level discussion
standards. http://inpublicsafety.com/2016/01/sharpening-scholarly-skills-can-enhance-professional-performance/
Instructions:
Your initial post should be at least 300 words. Please respond to at least 2
other students. Responses should be a minimum of 250 words and include direct
questions.
