Step 1: Restate your Competency 1 research question and select the type of research (quantitative or qualitative) that is most appropriate for it.
Step 2: Summarize the major steps in that type of research.
Step 3: Determine the specific type or approach (e.g., quasi-experimental, phenomenological) you would employ and explain why that is the best
selection.
Step 4: Explain potential data.
Step 5: Explain how analyzing and interpreting that data can inform your research question.
