quantitative design contains numerical data. Again correlation does not equal causation. Correlation happens when we see a relationship but we need an experiment to understand the cause. A method of quantitative data is survey research. When researchers conduct data, it is more common to use closed ended questions. Two survey designs include cross-sectional and longitudinal. BRUSO is used for guidelines when constructing good questionnaire items.

I am most proud of myself for being able to keep pushing. This semester has been so hard for me because I had so much on my plate within school and outside of school. Although I did not perform as I wanted to I feel like I still pushed through. I am also proud of myself for holding myself accountable for my faults and being able to see where I need to improve personally.

I really liked this lecture and enjoyed going back and reviewing it. We talked about reliability and validity. In the difference between these two Validity is far more important to research than reliability. I did feel like I needed to revisit these method measures, it was good being able to go back. I will be using this new knowledge towards my future courses.

I found this question interesting in a way that it is not very common. By this I mean that everyone when taking a class hopes to get the best grade and pass. I do think that I would rather have professors who are passionate and motivate the students in actually learning the course.

I am really proud that I made it. Another semester has passed and I am one more step closer to my hopes and dreams. I am grateful for all the things I learned in this semester. Truthfully it was a great one. Hope everyone is doing great and best of luck.

1. Identify the problem: Begin by clearly identifying the problem or topic of interest. Formulate a specific research question that you aim to answer, and develop a hypothesis based on your anticipated findings.

2. Observations: Collect data and information related to your research question. Look for patterns or recurring behaviors that can provide insights into the identified problem.

3. Develop a research design: Plan the overall design of your research study. Consider the appropriate methodology based on the research question and determine the approach you will use (e.g., quantitative, qualitative, mixed methods).

4. Gather data: Collect and compile all the relevant information and data acquired during the study. Ensure that the data is organized and analyzed in a meaningful way, using appropriate statistical or analytical techniques.

5. Interpret and share: Analyze the data and draw conclusions based on your findings. Consider the intended audience for your research and revise your findings to effectively communicate the results. This may involve writing a research paper, creating presentations, or sharing the information through other suitable means.

By following these steps, researchers can systematically investigate a problem, gather data, interpret the findings, and communicate them to others. It is important to note that research is an iterative process, and each step may require refinement or adjustment based on the outcomes and feedback received.

I would rather have an interesting professor because it makes the class more fun and personally I will more than likely enjoy using the knowledge that I learned in class in the real world. On the other hand I would prefer both. I would like to have good grades and have an interesting professor I know ill learn better from.

This semester was possibly one of the hardest for me. I took 5 classes with a full time job and commuted over an hour to school and work 5 times a week. I am proud of myself for trying to get all my homework done while dealing with many family stresses and academic stresses. I am proud of myself for taking a bit of time to focus more on my mental health this semester even though it was hard to catch up on assignments I was able to do it.

Congrats to everyone graduating! I am most proud of everyone in this class, we did it guys. This was a great class to learn about different types of research and how we can apply it to our everyday lives. I am proud of myself for hanging in there and can't wait for summer to be here already! If any of you guys are taking summer classes, Ill see you guys in the next class. Thank you class!

For this semester I am proud that I made it through. It was hard focusing on 5 classes that required a lot. That being said I am also proud of learning how to read research articles now. Back then in college when I would see an article with a methods sections and literature review I would always skip them since I did not really know how to break them down. Now I feel confident of knowing so and also how to create one for future use.

# data[].attributes.body
I am very proud I made it to the end of the semester. I don't know how many times I had a mental break down this semester. All my classes were pretty difficult and some times I felt like I couldn't catch a break. My work is a bit stressful and on top of that I am working on my mental health. I tried not to fall behind this semester but I felt like I did a lot. I had many classes and sometimes would get confused on what's due. I'm proud of myself that I didn't quit and drop this class or any other classes of that sort.

Research Inquiry Cycle Revised
1.) Identify what exactly you want to research and engage in challenging your prior knowledge. Make sure the research question is clear and able to be replicated.
2.) Conduct a literature review beforehand to get an idea of what has and has not been done already and expand on the knowledge that is created, learned, or already known.
3.) Explain the data that was conducted/collected in more extensive detail of what is learned or found in your research and be clear and concise.
5.) Elaborate analyze and interpret all the data collected in great detail for others to be able to replicate your findings/study. (Etc.)
6.) Interpret your results based on what your findings are and make a conclusion, but also always consider limitations, biases, and other variables such as confounding variables. Try not to fail to account for any confounding variables that can cause you to wrongly interpret or estimate the relationship between your independent variable and dependent variable.
7.) Reflect on the process, study, variables and participants and so forth.

I am most proud of pushing through this semester. I am proud that i was a full time student with a baby. It was very challenging but i did it. This was by far the most challenging semester. To last minute assignments to having to feed my baby. you can definitely say my mom brain took over but i overcame and got through the semester. I am one semester closer to graduating. all my hard work is almost paying off. i cant wait to be done and start my career. what a great semester!!!

Identify the problem; address what the problem is.

Reviewing the existing literature; after choosing topic have more research and notes on it.  what other information can be added.

plan research; plan out all the data needed and how you will collect the data. as well as choosing a method. look further and find a path that you will take to discuss the target information.

gather and analyze all date; all data has been collected. next go over everything and interpret all data.

share information; once all information has been collected go over it and see who was the target information for. what was the target information.see what limitations may be.

Thinking about the question asked, I think I would rather have a interesting professor and get C's rather then a terrible/boring professor and get A's. The reason being that I would feel like I am actually learning and even if I get C's (they still get degrees), I would be learning and enjoying class time. Knowing that I tried my best and did all that I could.

I am trying not to think of my letter grade. Because once i focus on my grade i overthink it... i currently have a B. which is great. But i try really hard each semester to focus on whats being taught in the class. Because this is one of my major classes I want to understand what i am learning. I typically get really good grades and i am proud of that. But i try not to focus on the letter so much. But rather the information i am learning. I hope to continue to earn good grades for the sake of grad school... so much to think about.

I am greatful for all that I have learned this semester. I am happy with myself that I have managed to understand research and how to properly conduct research. Along with tha I am so happy that we are almost done, this semester has been hard and filed with moments that I just wanted to quit. But I am glad that I have made it this far. I have better learned about articles and learned to like looking for articles and actually understanding them. I am so proud of everyone, we have come far this semester.

I would say im satisfied with most things in life as of right now, but I would say im proud of the determination I’ve had to try new things and continue my journey with school. It does get awfully stressful at times, but life isn’t easy so I can only do my best to overcome stressful events. Most of them come from time management as I can be forgetful or overloaded with other things going on at home. Although, I feel like I’ve improved my ability to manage things lately. So overall, I would like to learn how to be a tad more organized and also look forward to the new possibilities waiting for me.

I am most proud of finishing this class and almost finishing school to receive my bachelors degree. I honestly did not think I would get this far and I am proud of where I am. At one point, I did not think I was even going to continue my education here to get my bachelors, but my family motivated me and I am so happy they did because I feel so accomplished. Working as a preschool teacher while doing school full time was stressful, but I'm so happy and hope to graduate this fall.

For Module 6, we learned about operationalizing and measurement. There are four levels of measurement. They are nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio. We also learned what constructs are. Operationalization means how the variable will be measured. There are three forms of measures. Self-report measures, behavioral measures, and psychological measures.

This semester I am proud of myself for completing my first semester as a transfer. I think I managed all my classes very well. I took a total of 6 classes and it was so stressful because I am also a mother of a 2 year old. And let me say he is terrible! It was such a challenge managing therapies, classes, and assignment due dates. But I am so happy we have come to an end.

For Module 4 we learned about Research Ethics. We learned what are ethical considerations that need to be made when one is conducting research. For every study being done, one needs to be aware of the benefits and potential risks. It is important to for participants to know what their role is and that their participation is completely voluntary. It is important as researchers to protect vulnerable groups and keep thing confidential.

This semester I am most proud of just pushing through and completing. I am currently 6 months pregnant and dealing with high risk pregnancy, so trying to remain calm and complete all my studies while managing home and work life is hard, but I DID IT !

1. Start with an idea or a problem, figure out what I need to find out, and formulate some research questions, maybe incorporating my thoughts or ideas.

2. Background Research - Review literature that is already out there.  Find missing literature you are interested in finding if you have not already seen it within the existing literature.

3. Organize research techniques and designs - Think of your specific research questions and the best way to formulate the method of design. Formulate a procedure to explore a confirmable question about the hypothesis.

4. Analyze the data you have acquired. Also organize the data you will be using to better find patterns or answer if the hypothesis answered

5. Interpret and share results - Identify the proper audience for this research and draw your conclusions and final research question. Make sure to include your limitations and implications when sharing or submitting your findings.

I am most proud of making it through another school year. I had full time classes while holding a full time job. Personal circumstances related to family and health were unexpected and having the capacity to make it through is a big win. I learned so much about what it means to conduct research, and it was challenging but ultimately insightful. This course helped me tremendously with the rest of my courses, I am grateful for that!

This semester I am proud of myself not giving up on my schooling. For some reason I found it very difficult for me to stay on top of my courses this semester and I always felt things were piling on top of me. With this after turning in assignments I would not get the grade I wanted for it and that brought my confidence down. However I just keep pushing through because I have a goal of being an educator and I will do everything to accomplish that goal. This semester is coming to an end and I’m getting nervous not going to lie but whatever happens I will keep trying hard and not give up.

I am proud of the fact that while I was intimidated about attending school full-time and maintaining a healthy balance of home life, I did it. My children have been so supportive and stepped up when I was stressed or overwhelmed. They have watched me prioritize my education and take time for myself. Over spring break I decided to attend summer school and graduate at the end of the fall semester. I am excited to continue my educational journey and apply what I have learned to my home life as well as my career.

What I am proud of this semester is actually making it through till the end of this class. Many times, I felt like I just wasn't going to pass and that's I'd need to retake this class at another point in time. Here we are though, in the final week of class, we did it! It's all about not giving up on yourself, even when things get frustrating or they seem really difficult, I didn't give up and I'm glad I didn't!

As I reflect on my accomplishments, I am most proud of being selected as a Sally Casanova Pre-Doctoral Scholar for the 2023-24 academic year. This recognition is a testament to my hard work and dedication to academic excellence. I feel honored to be one of the 77 highly qualified California State University students who were chosen from 156 applications.

In addition, I am also proud of how I have applied what I have learned in this Applied Research and Methods course in my research projects. For example, I used the skills and knowledge I gained from this course to prepare a presentation for the Meeting of the Minds research presentation poster. The course helped me to develop a deep understanding of research methods and the ability to analyze data in a meaningful way.

Additionally, I utilized the knowledge and skills gained from this course in applying for an IRB for my action project for my CSU Dialogue research. The course equipped me with the tools to design a study that is ethical, valid, and reliable. I was able to successfully navigate the IRB process and obtain approval for my study.

Overall, I feel proud of these accomplishments and look forward to utilizing the skills and knowledge gained from this course to continue pursuing academic excellence in the future. I believe that the skills I have learned in this course will continue to serve me well as I move forward in my academic career and beyond.

I am very proud of myself this semester because I took on 5 classes and worked full time. I did this because I want to graduate soon. I didn't realize how much of a workload and stress I put myself through. But I managed to do well in all my classes. My time management has been the best it ever has. But never again will I take 5 classes again. I had many break downs and stayed up late just to do it all over again the following day. But I learned a lot this semester from each and every class. Was definitely a semester I won't forget.

All in all, I am proud of the student I’ve become during this semester, as it is now ending, I'm proud of not procrastinating, completing my work on time, and finishing what was needed for each class. In addition, I am proud of the work I've done in this course. The course name is quite intimidating, and I was nervous at the start of the semester. As time has gone by, I can say that I’ve come to understand the material, which has led me to do my assignments and quizzes. Now that the course is coming to an end, I can say that I am proud of all the long hours and hard work I’ve put into this class, as I strongly believe that my hard work will result in an amazing grade.

I am so proud of myself this semester. This is my second to last semester before I receive my Bachelors degree in Child Development. It was one of the hardest semesters I have ever completed. I’m thankful I only signed up for three classes because four would of be extremely overwhelming. Throughout the first couple modules I was so stressed out. It was hard for me to grasp the concepts being taught I wanted to give up. However, I am so proud of myself for not giving up! I’ve worked super hard this semester and am proud to say my grades looks pretty good. It was all worth it. I’m looking forward to graduating this summer! I know all my hard work these last couple years will all be very much well worth it. Thank you for everything this semester Professor.

I am most proud of myself for getting through the semester in general. I'm not sure why but this semester seemed to be hard and difficult in all my classes. I've had personal family issues that made it hard for me to fully concentrate in my school work. I have also started a new job in a school as a one on one with a special education student. I don't have any experience with special education so I had to learn a lot and as a result most of my days ended in me being exhausted.

I am most proud of myself for is always trying my hardest in school and being able to balance my life. Although this semester has probably been one of the toughest ones in all 4 years I have been at CSUSB I have been able to always try and keep up. I am also proud of how far Ive come in college. When I entered school I honestly never really stopped to think "am I going to make it?" but seeing how far Ive come and how proud it makes my mom, it encourages me to keep going. I work full time, go to school, have my assignments, my friends and family, and personal life. It has been hard to balance it all but I always try a way.

I am most proud of myself for getting through this class and learning how to balance my schoolwork because this semester was a lot for me. I would say that it was going smoothly at the beginning of the semester, but now that it is towards the end of the semester I am feeling overwhelmed. I did find this course to be hard but I am proud that I tried and turned in assignments in time and that I made it to the end of the semester. Another thing of being proud of is getting this far and I am close to finishing school.

This semester, I am most proud of myself for being better about staying on top of my work. While I still procrastinated I definitely saw an improvement and some of the changes I was making paid off. Secondly, I am also proud of myself for getting all the classes I need to be able to graduate in Fall of 2023. I will have gotten my bachelors degree with only 3 regular semesters and one summer semester after transferring. I am very excited and extremely ready to be done with school.

What I am most proud of is that I was able to push through this semester through all the hardships I went through. Losing my grandfather and then having a miscarriage a month later really hit me hard and I really wanted to just stop attending all classes and just give up completely. Although my grades could have been a lot better and my work could have been better, I am happy to say I got through it. I am extremely proud that I was able to to keep going for myself. Hopefully this upcoming Fall semester will be a breeze and I can graduate soon with my B.A.

Something that I'm most proud of this semester, that I continue to work on is my time management skills. During the semester, I really noticed that once I stopped procrastinating and doing things last minute, I was able to finish my homework much faster while having some days free of not doing work. I typically try to knock out homework during the first 3 days of the week and have the weekends off. I was actually able to do this throughout the whole semester and I was very proud of myself. It just goes to show that if you stop procrastinating, you can actually get your work done much faster and still have time to hang out with your loved ones.

I am most proud that I was able to gain knowledge in this course and to complete the class with new knowledge to take with my new courses. Dealing with everyday things I always learn to take one thing at a time. Today I found out my car has many issues to be fixed but have to remember to do the prioritize the most important and to always remember that we have to do take care of ourselves.

I am most proud of continuing school. The reason being is because I feel like school is only getting harder. The more days go by I feel like I just get more responsibilities upon myself. I am very happy to continue into school and be able to manage. I work two jobs, attend school and sometimes it was very challenging. Sometimes I felt like I had no days off and I would just function.

Like a majority of my classmates, I am proud of myself for making it to the end. There was something about this semester that I found it so much more challenging to stay motivated and focus on my school work. I did start a new job in February and learning how to balance school and work was tough for me. There was a week or two during the semester where I thought about quitting almost daily. But I am happy to say that I am here near the finish line and it feels so good :)

What I am proud of is for completing the semester. It has been a very difficult semester for me; therefore, I am proud that I am almost done. I have two children and I am proud that they are about to finish the school year with good grades as well. It was not easy to be a full-time mom, full-time student, work and besides doing my internship this semester. I probably cried twice this semester when I had to do homework a whole Saturday and all I wanted to do was to spend time with my children.

What I am most proud of is finishing my internship at the csusb ITLS and managing five courses this semester. At the beginning of the semester, everything was fine and going smooth, now that it is the end I am really starting to feel the fatigue coming in I can't wait to get some good sleep! I am proud of myself for pushing through and finishing all of my assignments on time and I try to understand and absorb all of the work I have learned.

I am most proud of myself for getting through this class and semester without procrastinating on any of my work. I started the semester being about 14 weeks pregnant and I am now 29 weeks pregnant and trying to find the motivation to do my school work while being pregnant was extremely tough but I did it. I even handed in all my final assignments at least a week before the due dates which I am also proud of. For this class in particular, I am proud of myself for not giving up. When I first read the syllabus, I was terrified because it seemed complicated and the information in the first few modules flew over my head but I did not give up and I kept reading and listening to the lectures, trying to put together the content and now I can say that I know a lot more about applied research and applying it to child development than I did before this class.

When I first signed up for this class, I was very nervous. I understand that the class had to do with research methods and to be honest doing research scares me. However, after this class the thing I am most proud of is understand more about the different types of research methods. I understood how to apply the inquiry cycle method to any research question I may have. I can apply what I have learned here to my other courses. I am just proud of myself for taking this class one week at a time. I managed my time well this semester and was able to complete all my assignments. I also feel that I gained more knowledge on what research is and how to apply it to child development.

I am most proud of myself for completing the semester. In March of the semester I was laid off from my job, and dealt with it pretty harshly as I barely started working again last week! It definitely took a toll on my mental health and I was experiencing financial insecurities. Among with other inconsistencies I was experiencing, I continued to engage in my school work and submit my assignments even if they were submitted late. I didn’t let my depression stop me no matter how many times I wanted to let it, I kept going and cried when I needed too.  So am I most proud of myself.

This question is a bit hard for me to answer because I believe having a good professor will help you gain better knowledge of the class subject and learn better. However, having a bad professor but a good grade will be passing the class still regardless of the professors teaching method. I have personally experienced both and stressing about a letter grade is something that I hate and gives me anxiety just because I am not used to failing. I always try my best in my courses since I was young so failing for me is something I would not want.

A research should begin with a question or proposal. Second, see if there is anything we might already know about the topic or may be missing. Thirdly, is the research based on qualitative or quantitative data. Four, Collect data and analyze it as well as organize it. Fifth, describe the results and the sample it. Lastly, the conclusion. In the conclusion you share what you found about your research and describe it.

I am adding things to the research inquiry cycle based on what I have learned throughout the semester.
Identify a research question: Find what problem you want to talk about. A topic you are interested in. Find a clear and specific research question about that topic and form your hypothesis.
Review existing literature: Conduct research based off your topic of interest and look for information that is known and not known.
Plan research design: Choose which methodology works for your question such as survey, interviews, etc.
Gather Data: Organize the information gathered while following the ethical guidelines of research.
Analyze Data: Check to see if the data found answers your topic question.
Interpret and Share: Share data with others who also show the same level of interest, recognize your audience.

# data[].attributes.body
Identify Problem: Its good to have a question mind that you want to further investigate
Review Existing Literature: Read everything up until certain keywords to see if the article is useful to us.
Plan Research Design: Qualitative and quantitative methods are determined, They are structured and consistent in the way its set up. But not all methods will work for each other.
Gather & Analyze Data: Its important that the research we are doing is valid and reliable.
Interpret & Share: Its also important to present our results and findings in a clear and concise manner.

# data[].attributes.body
Identify Problems:
Start off with an idea or problem and develop a research question.
Reviewing Existing Literature:
Discuss about what research has been found.
- What is known?
- What is missing?
Plan Research Design:
Design a procedure to investigate a testable question about the idea.
- Refine/Reflect hypothesis
Gather and Analyze:
To organize information that has been gathered. Which can be used in quantitative or qualitative.
Interpret and Share:
Recognize who your audience is and find their findings. Which develops generalizations.

This is a tough question. I think I would rather have a great and interesting professor and get all C's. The reason being is because it is important to always have the class going and have fun with the lectures that is being taught to us. Although I would be receiving a "C" I still get the material that is being taught. As long as, I know that I did my best and know the material more.

# data[].attributes.body
I think I would rather have interesting professor and get C's. I always try to get A's and B's but if I do happen to get C's, I never feel bad as I know that I tried my best. I would rather have interesting professors because then I would listen more and pay more attention to the material being presented. It's good to be able to remember the material that was taught in class than have a good grade without being able to remember anything in class that way we are able to use the material learned in your career.

Research begins by identifying a problem or idea and developing a research question. The research design involves examining existing literature to determine what is known about the topic and what gaps in knowledge exist. This review of literature helps refine the research question and determines the best approach for collecting data.

Data collection involves creating a detailed plan that outlines the methodology, including what is being observed, how it is being measured, and what methods of data collection will be used. This process includes identifying variables that will remain constant and those that will change. Depending on the research question, quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods may be used to collect and analyze data.

The next step is to analyze the data collected to answer the research question. The results are then interpreted and shared with others. The conclusions drawn from the research should be reported accurately and include any limitations of the study. This step helps to identify areas that require further research and to generate new research questions.

the research inquiry process involves identifying a problem, reviewing existing literature, creating a detailed data collection plan, analyzing the data, and sharing results. Through this process, researchers can improve understanding of a problem or idea, identify gaps in knowledge, and generate new research questions to help further our understanding of the world around us.

I would rather get great and interesting professors and get all C's then getting A's but having boring professors. If I'm getting C's, I'm going to sit with my professor and see how I can improve my grade. Since they are so great, I know they would want to see my thrive and do better in the future. If I have terrible professors, most likely they are giving me an A but they aren't giving me their sincere and professional input in the work I do in their class.

I reviewed the first research inquiry that I did and after taking this class this is the new revised process that I would do.

1. Identify the problem that needs to be resolved.

2. I would do literature review and go over what studies have come up with previously and what more information I could get.

3. After I will come up with a plan for research design, and what sample method I would be using.

4. Then I would organize the collected data and go over the results that were found through the research

5. And after I would share the results from the study to the targeted audience

# data[].attributes.body
Identify the problem: Think about the problem and analyze if this is what you're interested in. Develop a research question and a clear hypothesis.
Review existing literature : You have to conduct a literature review and this is where you conduct what you already know about the research.
Plan research design: This is where you will plan out the way you will propose your study.
Gather and Analyze: Collect the data and analyze what you collected in your study.
Interpret and Share: You report your conclusion and the limitations you have encountered with.Share your findings.

In my revised research inquiry cycle, I would design the cycle as follows:
1. Identify Problem: In this section, the researcher must identify what is the topic of study. In other words, what are we trying to figure out or convey? This must be a topic that is well-defined to come up with a specific area of study. What types of questions are needed to be asked in order to understand what the nature of the research must be? What are we looking for or trying to figure out?
2. Review Existing Literature: This section analyzes data from previous research studies. This puts into context what we already know about the existing data from what we are trying to study. This also helps us to formulate our hypothesis or research questions more in-depth.
3. Plan and Research Design: Based on the information from the literature review, that will help the researcher figure out the type of research that needs to be conducted. Will the research method be quantitative: where the researcher will have to conduct interviews, group studies, or observations and interpret the data, or will the researcher want to conduct quantitative research where the research is conducted by numbers?
4. Gather and Analyze Data: Based on the nature of the research design, the researcher then would choose the way they administer data collection. Would they use quantitative data in which they utilize descriptive research, survey research, correlational research, quasi-experimental research, or experimental research? If the research conducts qualitative designs, like how a population may feel, they will also have to differentiate content, narrative, discourse, thematic, grounded theory, or IPA approaches in how they collect and analyze their data. Based on the nature of the data, it could become quite time-consuming trying to analyze and interpret the data in a qualitative approach.
5. Interpret and Share: While qualitative data is rather easier to interpret and share because it deals with numbers, qualitative data may be more time-consuming and difficult to generalize based on the method of research that was used to gather the data.

1) Identify a problem is generated by using own personal experiences a person has had, any observations made in a certain setting, and any questions that come to mind. The problem should help create a research question and if possible create a hypothesis too.
2)Reviewing existing literature helps find past information that could help with the research being studied. Existing literature may either add to your study or help figure out what needs to yet be discovered.
3)Planning the research design is when you formulate the hypothesis fully and think about what type of research methods are going to be used to measure the study. It will help find out whether it will be a qualitative or quantitative method.
4)Gathering and analyzing data is when the actual study is done, you collect the data, organize your findings, and analyze what you have found in relation to the hypothesis. The results will be determined based on the method you choose whether that be qualitative or quantitative.
5)Interpreting and sharing my data is displaying my finding to my target audience and identifying any limitations that were found when doing the study.

 Monsserrath Virgen: Module 14 Research Inquiry Cycle

# data[].attributes.body
The research inquiry cycle includes the following:

1. Identifying the Problem: A practical problem through informal observation. Ex: Notice that arts and crafts table only has girls, boy states that arts and crafts are just for girls.

2.  Reviewing Existing Literature: Explore research literature that discusses that topic of interest. Ex: Question: Do gender stereotypes affect the activities that children partake in?

3. Plan Research Design: Investigate using a designed procedure in order to test the question.

4. Gather & Analyze Data: Using the data from the previous step use quantitative or qualitative approaches in order to analyze.

5. Interpret & Share:  Given the results of  the research go back to reviewing the literature and new observations to draw conclusions as well as sharing the information that was found.

# data[].attributes.body
The updates I would put on my research inquiry cycle are;

1. Identify the Problem: A researcher has curiosity of something or an interest and a need to answer a specific question. In this phase a researcher begins to predict or theorize what might happen based on prior knowledge.

2. Review existing literature: A researcher may look to past knowledge or what was already established on the topic, what is missing from the research and any expectations on the topic to refine the research question.

3. Plan research design: In this step we will use quantitative or qualitative methods to answer the research question. Researchers must use which kind of data they will gather, the best way to document and organize the data, and obtain as much information when using the desired design of choice.

4. Gather and Analyze data: When researchers analyze data, they are looking for patterns in the data. Upon looking for the patterns, they are in the process of interpreting and explaining the patterns that were discovered in the data and explain any differences as well.

5. Interpret and share: This is where you connect prior knowledge of the topic and new knowledge and share your findings to the connected audience. This is not seen as the final step but can lead to more questions and research, so the cycle can begin again.

In a perfect world I would like to have both a fun professor and all As, but Id also like to not get a C. I tend to do well in classes with professors who have more interactive and interesting types of teaching, but recieving a C would make me stress out as well because certain majors require certain GPAs. Although I do learn more when a professor is more interactive than boring and I dont like the concept of just memorizing to learn. Yet, I do think getting a C would make me upset. So, ultimately I feel if you need a high GPA for select majors I would choose boring, but in order to obtain knowledge I would say fun and interesting with C grades.

Process:
1st, Identify a problem
Next, it's time to investigate. It is important to read up on previous research/literature done on the problem you are looking to study.
Next, we need to plan the appropriate research design. Pin down exactly what you are looking to study and find the best method of research.
Next, it is time to gather your data (how you gather your data should be based on your research design). Then we will analyze our data.
Last we will interpret our data and share our results/findings.

# data[].attributes.body
1.Discovering the Research Question: The researcher discovers a problem and begins to hypothesize possible reasonings behind the issue, or other connections and comparisons one can draw from previous or current research.

2.Explore Available Knowledge: The researcher begins to look through any valid research which could help assist the researcher understand past knowledge on the issue. In order to establish a more reliable research the researcher uses available information to establish the current stance on what is believed about the question that is currently being researched.

3.Research Methods Begin: The researcher now has the ability to decide whether they can use qualitative or quantitative methods to undergo research. This can range from surveys, observations, or theoretical frameworks and undergone in order to find the best method to complete the study.

4.Data Collection: The researcher collects data from the participants which they curated through different sampling methods in order to assure their research is valid and can be used in future research of the topic being studied. Each piece of data is being used to connect to the original hypothesis and calculate whether the hypothesis is correct or not.

5.Results of the Research Question: The researcher discovers the answer and flaws within their research and uses it to answer their original research question. This answer could also begin the start of a new research which could be done by the original researcher themselves or another which could undergo the research inquiry process as well to begin a new cycle of research.
