Write a paper that analyzes the aspects of the quantitative methodology for research. You will analyze the purpose of quantitative research, the different designs associated with quantitative research, the data collection methods and techniques associated with each design, and the data analysis associated with quantitative research methods. Finally, determine whether your proposed research study will use this method and, if so, which design you will use, which data collection method you will use, and how you will analyze the data. If this is not the method you will use, discuss why it is not appropriate for your research proposal. Make sure to support your analysis with outside scholarly research.
Brown vs. Board of Education Case Analysis Paper – Due January 11, 2020
There is a final paper requirement in this course, which you will satisfy by performing the case analysis assignment explained below.
The paper is due at any time before the end of Session V – 11:59 p.m. on January 11, 2020 – and is worth 20% of your grade.
I set forth the assignment below:
One very important part of Chapter 1 is the discussion of stare decisis and precedent, particularly in the context of some historic constitutional law case decisions. I have attached a copy of the United States Supreme Court’s groundbreaking decision in Brown v. Bd. of Education, 347 U.S. 483 (1954). Please read this decision and, in two to three pages: (1) summarize the finding of the Court and (2) explain both how stare decisiswas applied and was notapplied by the Court in its decision.
Please note that the linked/attached opinion was written by Supreme Court Chief Justice Warren at a time when the use of some language that is now considered offensive and racist was deemed acceptable by some. I just want you to note that I did not write the attached/linked opinion, nor do I condone the use of such terminology, it is the language of Chief Justice Warren of the Supreme Court in 1954. Obviously, if you have a problem with performing an assignment on this judicial opinion, let me know and I will find another case opinion for you.
Synthesis is the act of creating something new from multiple existing entities. Synthesis of research, then, is creating a new idea from existing ideas. Synthesis of research is not a single innate skill. Rather, it is a process learned through time and practice. At the doctoral level, writing is a continual process of revision as learners improve skills and build subject matter expertise.
In Topic 5, you submitted a Synthesis Paper and received both feedback from your instructor and a grade for your work. In this assignment, you will expand upon your original paper with additional research from outside sources, incorporate feedback from your instructor, and provide a reflection section addressing your revision process.
General Requirements:
Locate the Synthesis Paper you completed in Topic 5.
Locate and download “Enhanced Synthesis Paper Template” from the Course Materials for this topic.
Locate and download “Enhanced Synthesis Paper Resources” from the Course Materials for this topic.
Review the articles by Baker and Pifer (2011), Gardner (2009), and Smith and Hatmaker (2014) located in the Course Materials for this topic.
This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their writing assignments. Review the GCU APA Style Guide for Writing located in the Student Success Center.
You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. Refer to the directions in the Student Success Center.
Directions:
Select and read two articles from the Enhanced Synthesis Paper Resources list located in the Course Materials for this topic.
Locate the Synthesis Paper you completed in Topic 5. Using the feedback provided by your instructor and information from the two additional articles you selected, write an Enhanced Synthesis Paper with Reflection (1,250-1,800 words). Include the following in your paper:
A Reflection (250-300 words) that discusses your revision process and how you incorporated your instructor’s feedback into the revised version. Similar to the format of an abstract, this section will receive its own page following the title page and preceding the Introduction.
An introduction that includes a brief description of each article and its purpose, identifies the three themes that emerged from your reading, describes how they will be discussed in the paper, and presents a clear thesis statement.
Support for your identified themes with evidence from each article. Provide analysis of these findings to strengthen your narrative.
A discussion of the conclusions that can be drawn when the articles are taken together as a single entity. What is the overall message of the group of articles?
