¶ … categories of research designs: true experiment, factorial, quasi-experiment, and ex post facto. Under each broad category, there are a number of more specific research designs. For instance, a co-relational design in which the researcher aims to determine the relationship between two or more variables falls under the category of ex post facto designs. Your research design represents the structure of your study. In other words, it reflects the number and type of variables you are studying and the number and type of groups you are using. Research methods are used to carry out research designs. Research methods fall under two broad categories: quantitative (e.g., survey, experiment) and qualitative (e.g., case study, grounded theory, ethnography, etc.).
Your problem statement and research questions will help determine your research design, and your research design will help determine your research method.
Using the feedback your instructor gave you following your initial premise in Week 1 and the Premise Guide, revise...
Also, post your research questions. Then describe at least one potential research design and one potential research method you could use. Explain why each would be appropriate based on your problem statement and research questions. Be specific.

Problem
Inner-city children are exposed to detrimental environments that are known to hinder their development and prevent them from thriving. The literature does not incisively indicate which of these environmental factors foreseeably does the most harm to the largest share of inner-city children and which also holds the most promise for amelioration (Trochim, 2006).
Purpose
The purpose of this correlational ex-post facto research is to determine which detrimental environmental factor creates the biggest developmental challenge for children, foreseeably doing the most harm, and lends itself to feasible intervention.
Research Questions
What measures can be taken to counter…

Millions of dollars are spent on test-prep manuals, books, computer programs and worksheets (Gluckman, 2002). Static/captive learning can help teachers around the nation prepare their students for standardized testing. Significance of the Study to Leadership A principal is the leader of the campus. The challenge for the principal is to know his or her district's mandated curriculum and make sure teachers are able to deliver it (Shipman & Murphy, 2001). As
Fundamentally, hygiene factors are required to make sure a worker is not dissatisfied. Motivation factors are desired to motivate a worker to higher performance. Herzberg also further classified peoples actions and how and why they do them, for instance, if one performs a work related action because they have to then that is ranked as movement, but if one performs a work related action because they want to then that
