ALIGNMENT AND SOCIAL CHANGE 2
Alignment and Social Change
The researcher must be able to critically evaluate research and be able to logically connect research components. The connection between different research components is referred to as research alignment. The alignment between methods used in data collection and other components to a research can be evaluated by examining these four primary ideas i.e. the strategy, the conceptual framework, procedures and tools used for the research, and what or who the study is focused (Adom, Hussein & Agyem, 2018). Research design embodies the initial project stage and entails thinking logically through the entire research process from where it starts to where it will end (Pavelek, 2013). The alignment between data collection and other research components can verified through careful examination of whether the strategy, conceptual framework, procedures and tools used for the research are adequate enough to answer the research questions, solve the research problem, and comply with the purpose of research.
Questions such as; is the problem legitimate? Do the research questions help find solutions to the research problem? Is the research strategy and tools used effective in solving the research problem? Does the research design set the framework for the entire research? must be answered in order...

The criteria I could use to evaluate alignment between data collection methods and other research components, such as problem, purpose, research questions, and design would be a) reliability and b) validity. Validity refers to whether the study measures what it intends to measure. Reliability refers to whether the study’s findings can be reproduced were the methodology to be duplicated and the study essentially conducted again using a similar sample. To
How Does Social Change Occur The main purpose of this chapter is to examine the concept of social change and what it means for people, how it is communicated, how it is achieved, how it spreads, and so on. Hickman (2010) here aims to show the social change does not spontaneously manifest itself as a protest like that seen during the 1960s or 1970s. Instead, the author intends to show that
Apart from the many, many statistical inaccuracies in projecting only his own experiences on an entire generation of Web users globally, this symptom he laments about is actually a function of how many multiple tasks he has going at the same time. He is a quintessential multi-tasker with board memberships, a teaching responsibility and many other commitments. He complains that Google and search engines rob humanity over time of
In this system, in which we must increasingly compete for students and research dollars and create new sources of funding, international university rankings are the utmost importance." (Probert, 2006) it is emphasized in this report that these changes are of great significance toward ensuring "greater strategic capacity within the Faculty." Probert (2006) relates two key changes which have been proposed and states them as follows: 1) the reduction in number
