Ethical Considerations
There are always ethical considerations to a greater or lesser degree depending on
whether or not you are using human subjects and the level of invasiveness your intervention or
data collection instrument. Think them through carefully. Look at other similar studies for
suggestions. Be sure to discuss what is required of the participant, what their rights are, what
risks the participant might encounter, and what benefits the participant might accrue. Note also
whether or not this study is approved by the BGS IRB Committee. Your readers need to know
you understand your responsibilities, that you will communicate appropriately with the
participants, and that your research is aligned with the BGS and Trinity IRB policies. Use the
language in Creswell’s Research Design, Merriam’s Qualitative Research, and Remler and Van
Ryzin’s Research Methods in Practice.
Research Design
Discuss in narrative form the detailed step by step process of how you will conduct the
entire research study (the collection of your data). Think of this as the operator’s manual for
your experiment that you might share with others so they can be assured that it is replicable and
of the rigor of your experiment. Give a step by step how to description that another would
follow to replicate your methodology. You might start by making a bulleted list in another
document, and then narrate that list here in this section. It needs to have enough good detail to
eliminate assumptions or the need to ask questions without becoming so granular in detail that no
one will read it. It is a balancing act between too much information and not enough information.
