Aligning Methodology to Research Questions
Problem Statement
The problem to be studied is the decline in elementary students' reading scores when they reach 4th-5th grade and the possible link to the school and classroom climate. Evidence of the existence of the problem at this elementary school is based on current and previous reading scores. There is an alarming drop in the students' achievement and diagnostic reading scores. Data shows that at least 92% of the students' reading scores drop when they enter the 4th or 5th grade.
Purpose Statement and Research Questions
The purpose of this study is to examine the potential link between the climate of the school and classroom environments and the 4th and 5th grade students' reading scores.
Research Questions
1. At this elementary school, is there a relationship between school climate and students' reading scores/abilities?
2. How does classroom environment affect students' reading scores/abilities?
3. (Qualitative) How do teachers and students perceive the impact of classroom environment and Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs on
Research Approach
This study will adopt a mixed-methods approach, combining both quantitative and...
Lastly, qualitative data will provide deeper insight here. Semi-structured interviews with teachers and students will provide insights into their perceptions regarding the classroom environment's impact and the role of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs on reading achievement. These interviews will be instrumental in understanding the lived experiences of the participants.
Dissertation or SRP
Given the depth and complexity of this study, I am inclined towards following the dissertation track. This choice aligns with my topic, which requires a comprehensive exploration of both quantitative and qualitative data. Additionally, completing a dissertation will provide me with a robust foundation for my future professional goals, which include working…

Car Advertisements The automobile industry is one of the largest in the world, and one of the largest advertisers in the world. In the 20th century, and into the 21st, automobiles became the dominant force in the development of the world, giving a high degree of independence to people who previously would have had much more limited means of transportation at their disposal. That freedom proved exceptionally popular, to the point
Indeed, as Muntaner (2003) posited in her research, qualitative methods can be included in a dominantly quantitative research design "in situations where qualitative research adds knowledge that would not be available via quantitative methods" (p. 55). Through a mixed-methods design, the researcher can provide better analyses and stronger interpretations and recommendations through balanced strengths of data reliability and validity -- that is, the achievement of "triangulation" in the research
