FIRST HALF A PAGE: Post one of your three different types of research questions (i.e., descriptive question, relational question, or comparative question) based on the dataset you selected in Assignment. Then, post an appropriate research design for the question you post. Explain how the research question might promote positive social change.
Karen is a director of human resources at a mid-size company. Her team has been exploring causes of turnover for new employees—employees that start with the company but leave within a year. Some of the research questions she and her team have developed include:
What training and advancement opportunities might encourage employees to commit to long-term growth within the company?
What benefits are new employees seeking in career-based employment?
For this Discussion, you will generate your own research questions, based on the dataset you chose . You will create three different types of research questions (i.e., one descriptive question, one relational question, and one comparative question). Then, select an appropriate research design for each question.
SECOND HALF A PAGE:
Post an explanation of the challenges you might encounter in your experience through the cleaning process and how you might remedy those challenges. Then, explain why it is important to clean and manage data, and why this would be important to generalizability, confidence in accuracy of the results, or psychometric properties.
Every journey begins with a single step. Before you can become a master researcher providing thoughtful information analysis and meaningful conclusions, you must prepare your workspace and clean your tools. Without the crucial steps of organizing the data, preparing your software for analysis, and sharpening your quantitative skills, your research question will not be answered.
For this Discussion, you will learn how to prepare the information you have collected, removing corrupted or missing data in order to begin studying it. You will use the dataset provided to practice identifying challenges that arise during the cleaning process before presenting your findings to the class.
