Quantitative and qualitative research methods are used to further research in many different disciplines and ethics is a very important factor. While conducting qualitative research an important part of the process is the research participants and this includes the person(s) conducting the research. There are certain ethical responsibilities that a researcher and in a general, a professional, has to adhere to and some ethical principles needed to ensure that the research procedures have minimized risk to participants. Keywords: Ethics, Ethical Dilemmas, Ethical Issues, Qualitative Research, Quantitative Research

The pursuit of a doctorate is a rite of passage that requires a student to successfully navigate the transition from " student " to " scholar. " One area of practice that is often marginalized, however, is the role of ethics. Though there is no formal coursework in ethics, its importance cannot be understated. This essay examines the conceptual role of ethics in doctoral research as both an individual reflective essay as well as a broader discussion of ethics in general. The ethical dimension considered is conceptualized as eight principles for ethical research and practice in doctoral research. The " Eight Ethical Principles " will serve as a " checklist " for doctoral and novice researchers.

This study describes how undergraduate students in their junior and senior year seeking a bachelor’s degree in hospitality management at a regionally accredited university perceive their professors’ instructional attributes and behaviors. This examination concentrated on two critical zones of discernment concerning professors’ instructional practices. Participants were asked what teaching attributes contributed to their academic success, and teaching attributes did not contribute to their academic success. The study also sought to identify any obstacles faced by the participating undergraduate students and their faculty as indicators of how to mitigate such obstacles. This study included a review of an extensive collection of research on student perspectives and how those perspectives may reflect on the evaluation of the adequacy of various teaching techniques and academic practices. This study found that the instructional attributes that participating students reported that they value include: agreeableness (concern and regard for students), accommodation (accessibility), and receptiveness to others’ conclusions (support of class inquiries and exchange), yet all instructors do not exhibit each of these attributes. This study identified the positive teaching characteristics of professors in one setting and how these professors interact with their students in a manner that captures students’ attention and promotes teaching and learning in the classroom. It also suggests attributes that professors in this setting and discipline may wish to elevate to better connect with students in the classroom.

This study explored how undergraduate students perceive, self-regulate, and respond to feedback from instructors on written work. The general problem was that students in college are not prepared to practice metacognitive regulation to promote learning, particularly in the context of utilizing instructor feedback on written work to improve their submissions. The specific problem was that students often lack the metacognitive regulatory skills to implement the feedback they receive. Subjects for this study were a sample of instructors at a private Bible college who provide quality feedback on written work and their undergraduate students. This qualitative multiple case study approach examined student’s perceptions of feedback from instructors on written drafts through think-aloud sessions. Student revisions of their drafts following feedback were compared to previous drafts using document analysis. Finally, semi-structured interviews took place to investigate how undergraduate students perceive, self-regulate, and respond to feed up, feed forward, and feed back from their instructors.

PSYC 255 Synthesis Paper

Synthesis Paper Instructions  

Reviewed April 13, 2018

The purposes of this assignment are to:

· Demonstrate proper use of current APA format in a term paper.

· Demonstrate proper use of one of the research methods studied in this course—specifically, the case study.

· Reflect on what you have learned in this course and write about it.

· Reflect on the course content as critiqued from a biblical, Christian perspective and write about it.

· Note: Thinking and reflecting on what you have learned will take a considerable amount of time. Be sure to give yourself plenty of time for this assignment.

Instructions: Using a case study approach, write a four to eight page research-based paper using yourself as the research subject by answering the assigned research questions:

· What have you learned about research at an introductory level?

· How do you evaluate or critique this from a biblical, Christian perspective?

You will use the APA skills that you honed during Module/Week 3, the case study skills you developed in Module/Week 5, and all the content you studied throughout all the modules/weeks of this course. Current APA format needs to be demonstrated in all aspects of this assignment.

Your paper must include a properly-formatted title page, four to eight pages of content with correct APA formatting throughout, including proper citations and levels of headings, and a reference page. The title page and references page are in addition to the assigned four to eight pages of content. Maintain consistency between your citations and reference page. Your paper must include at least four references to sufficiently support your paper. Required references include your Introduction to Research textbook and the Publication Manual , and at least two additional scholarly references, plus whatever other content-related sources you would like to include. Remember, use current APA format throughout (including your title page, running head, author note, appropriate vocabulary and sentence structure, introductory statement, in-text citations, page numbers, levels of headings throughout the document, a conclusion statement, and consistency between your in-text citations and references).

You may use your Discussion Board Forum posts and additional personal reflection. Your answer will be unlike anyone else’s, and that is what is expected. Be sure to consult your Publication Manual for proper formatting for your in-text citations and references for these other sources. 

Your assignment will be checked for plagiarism.

 Note: Some matching on the SafeAssign report is not unexpected. You will be citing sources that others may have used in other papers, so some matches might appear. Your instructor will be able to discern what is appropriate matching due to properly cited sources. This assignment is open-book/open-notes, open-Bible, open to discussion with friends, etc. Be sure to document your sources appropriately as in-text citations and as references when you use the textbook or other material from this course, personal interviews with friends, etc.

This assignment requires that you incorporate proper APA formatting throughout the document. Formatting errors will result in point deductions.
