BRIEFLY INTRODUCE YOUR NEXT CAPSTONE SECTION. WHILE THIS MAY SEEM REDUNDANT AT EACH SECTION, IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMIND THE READER OF YOUR RESEARCH AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH SECTION.
THE REASON FOR THIS? IN THE EVENT, SOMEONE IS INTERESTED IN YOUR RESEARCH, BUT THEY DO NOT WANT TO READ THE ENTIRE RESEARCH STUDY PAPER, THEY CAN EASILY LEARN ABOUT YOUR RESEARCH IN THE BEGINNING OF EVERY SECTION.
Briefly introduce your next capstone section. While this may
seem redundant at each
section, it is important to remind the reader of your
research at the beginning of each section.
The reason for this? In the event, someone is interested in
your research, but they do not want to
read the entire research study paper, they can easily learn
about your research in the beginning of
every section. This section requires one paragraph in length.
Research Method and Design Appropriateness
Elaborate on the differences among various research
methodologies. What are the
differences between qualitative research and quantitative
research? Which was more appropriate
for your study? Why? More than likely, this will be a
descriptive research project, focusing more
on the literature surrounding the topic, rather than
conducting actual quantitative or qualitative
research. This section requires two paragraphs in length.
Population
Discuss your study population. The study population is the
larger picture of the research.
If you were conducting research focused on childhood
education, your study population would
include children who are in school. This may be at a local
level, state level, national level, or
even at the global level. You determine the study population
by how big you want the scope of
your project to be. This section requires two paragraphs in
length.
Sampling Frame
Elaborate on your sampling frame here. The sampling frame is
the smaller picture of the
study population that you can actually obtain information
from. For instance, in the same
research that is interested in childhood education, the
sampling frame may be 10 students from a
local school. These ten students would then be used in your
data collection process. This section
requires one paragraph in length.
Data Collection
Discuss the collection of your data. Was it quantitative or
qualitative? How did you
collect the data? How did you protect the integrity of the
data? For our example, if 10 nursing
home residents could be interviewed; this would be
qualitative in nature. Likewise, conducting a
numerical poll would be quantitative. If you conduct personal
interviews, you will want to ensure
minimal researcher bias. This section requires two paragraphs
in length.
Data Analysis
Discuss the process where you analyzed your data. How did you
analyze it? If
quantitative, what statistical tool did you use? If
qualitative, how did you interpret the
information? This section requires one paragraph in length.
References
Remember that any reference in your reference list must be
present in your paper in the form of a
citation (Author, year). Likewise, any citation in your paper
must be present in your
reference list. Refer to your APA Handbook 6th edition for
more detailed information on
developing a reference list. For your Assignment 3 you need a
minimum of six (6)
scholarly references.

Introduction
There has been a controversy surrounding the issue of
vaccines. There are people who vaccinate their children and others
who do not vaccinate their children. All the people on the
different sides of the coin have varied reasons that they can
validate. Many people assert that the vaccines can be riskier than
the disease that they seem to be protecting. Some countries are not
vulnerable to the changes that are prevented by the vaccines
because the diseases are not prevalent in such countries. Many
people in America have complained about instances of autism because
of continued use of vaccines for preventing illnesses. Parents in
such countries should avoid vaccinating their children
