Assignment Week 6: Making Research Valid and Why It Matters
Student
Name: Angie Woods
If I were the researcher, which version
(or combination of versions) of triangulation would I use to ensure the
validity of this study? If I was the researcher the vision of
triangulation I would use to ensure a validity of the study. The study has a
mixture of data collection of investigator and methodological. The main thing
to me is the data collection when the children are being creating with the
stories by using pictures, stuffed toy animals, puppets which younger children
love to see and storyboards in other tools. These tools help the product in a degree in analyzing
the meaning to children with a version of demonstrations of the care of others.
As the author says, methodological triangulation is a multiple methods to study
a single problem. In this method of researcher to me can provide a reliable
study because it’s multiple methods with the study of a single problem. Even though it was many method used like in documentations,
observations and interviews. Because the methodological triangulation has meaning that modify good research questions in the variety of different
methods from evaluating data collections used in result documentation in the studies. Plus another method
I would try with my study would be investigator triangulation that has several
researchers. I believe this is a more direct to the student or children
creation in gathering information by evaluating the data collections from the study
may be. In this approach it can ensure the result and data collection with the
facts from other researchers. By doing any research it is very important in the
studies that other researchers have at least the same or similar studies of up
to date studies with investigator triangulation being used.
How
would my choice(s) contribute to the validity of the study? My
choices contribute to investigator triangulation, data triangulation and
methodological triangulation. With the
investigator it’s more of utilizing information from other researchers by
analyzing the data collection from the sources of the study. In the methodological triangulation provides me
with the understanding of I can use many different of methods like a guide in
using the right method in the study.
