RES/709 v4 2 Research Outline RES/709 Research Outline Frank Frimpong-Manso University of phoenix RES 709: Research Conceptualization and Design Prof Marlene Blake November 23rd 2020 Proposed Dissertation Title Title: Children in single parent households face a lot of social and economic challenges, resulting in their emotional, upbringing and educational achievements being affected negatively 1. Problem Statement The problem is that children in single parent households face a lot of social and economic challenges, resulting in their emotional, upbringing and educational achievements being affected negatively.

2. Studies Purpose The aim of this study is to find out the different challenges that children from single households' face and probable solutions to the challenges. 3. Research Questions i) What are the causes of the economic, and social challenges that children brought up in single parent households face? ii) What are the challenges that single parent households face and what effects do they have on student's performance? iii) What are the causes of negative emotions, upbringing challenges and inadequate educational achievement in single household parenting? iv) What are the proposed solutions to overcome the identified challenges? Part 2: Background to the Problem When a child is born, his first place of contact is his own family.

As a result, the child's initial socialization and education are obtained from the family. Families, on the other hand, can either be broken or intact. A broken home is not structurally intact due to separation, divorce, or the parents' death. Such families tend to have detrimental effects on the child, including their performance in school. The child would also be affected emotionally as children tend to grow morally upright and become emotionally cared for by both parents (Chukwuka, 2018).

In families with two parents, the father always carters for the requirements for the educational advancement of a child while the mother supplements the father's efforts. When one of the parents is absent, such as the father, the mother would not be privileged enough to cater to all the child's basic needs and supervise their academic performance at the same time. This is the same scenario that would occur when the mother is not present in the family. Life in a single-parent household can also stressful for both the parent and child. Such families may be faced with challenges such as inadequate finance.

In a study conducted to confirm if there are differences in the children's educational attainment from single parent households and that of children from intact families, it was determined that the influence is apparent in secondary education (FuÄàk, 2016). The study, therefore, shows there is a significant impact on single parents' households towards the achievements of children educationally. Appendix B Summary of Research Questions i) Indeed, most single households parenting often face an array of economic challenges. For instance, when a mother is bereaved, they might be left without a stable source of income. This often makes the children they are upbringing to go through economic hardships as they have to shelve on some of the demands that they have in life.

Given the nature of the society, the standards and show off of children on the same level will make the bereaved children have social challenges as they try to fit in. However, it is necessary to find the causes and the remedy to the different social challenges brought about by this issue. ii) Overall, after a person loses their spouse, they undergo through different challenges. These challenges have an impact on children's school performance. Therefore, the research question ii is seeking to establish the different challenges and the effects it has on the performance of the affected children. iii) According to Calder (2018, p. 421), children brought up by single parents have a tendency of developing emotional imbalance.

This may be as a result of the social and economic challenges that they face in general. However, it is necessary to find in details the causes of emotional imbalance that these children face and the effects that this emotional imbalance has on the students' upbringing and performance in school. iv) The challenges identified are quite a number, it is necessary that the dissertation finds out some of the primary solutions to the challenges identified as well as what improvements could be made to make the challenges bearable to bring up better and proficient children by the single parents.

Understanding Qualitative and Quantitative Research Methodologies Through Selected Articles

Article Selection

In analyzing research methodologies, it is crucial to distinguish between qualitative and quantitative studies to understand their respective contributions to the field. This assignment focuses on one qualitative and one quantitative study each, contributing to the understanding of the impact of single parenthood on children's education.

Article Analysis

Qualitative research is exploratory in nature, seeking to understand participants' experiences and perspectives in-depth. Chukwuka's study employs qualitative methodologies through interviews and open-ended questions, aimed at understanding the nuanced impacts of single parenthood on children's education. It emphasizes the social, emotional, and educational challenges, revealing themes in participant narratives that highlight the difficulties faced by children in these households (Chukwuka, 2018).
Calder (2018) further supports the qualitative approach by discussing the concept of a "triple bind" faced by children of single parents, which includes economic struggles, social stigma, and emotional distress. This study’s use of interviews and thematic analysis showcases the qualitative method's focus on depth rather than breadth, exemplifying how single-parent families confront significant barriers to education and emotional stability.
In contrast, quantitative research seeks to quantify problems and establish patterns through statistical analysis. Fučík’s (2016) study utilizes surveys to gather data from a large sample size of adults raised in single-parent households, focusing on their educational achievements, current partnerships, and income levels. The use of statistical methods allows this study to assert generalizations and identify trends across populations, illustrating the broader implications of family structure on educational outcomes.
Amato and Keith (1991) conducted a meta-analysis that compiles data from multiple studies examining the effects of parental divorce on children's well-being. This quantitative approach not only reinforces the negative correlation between single-parenthood and educational achievement but also provides a statistically significant insight into how these variables interact.

Explanation of Research Method for Study

The choice of research method greatly depends on the goals of the study, the nature of the research questions, and the desired outcomes. In Chukwuka's qualitative study, the inherent complexities of individual experiences necessitate a qualitative approach to capture the relational dynamics and intimate contexts affecting children in single-parent households (Chukwuka, 2018). The study's purpose aligns closely with the qualitative method, as it seeks to explore lived experiences and emotional repercussions—elements inherently rich in subjective interpretation.
Conversely, Fučík’s quantitative study focuses on establishing broader trends and causal relationships regarding educational performance in single-parent households (Fučík, 2016). The alignment of this study's quantitative methodology with its research questions, such as “What is the impact of family structure on educational achievements?” allows for testing hypotheses with measurable variables. This approach facilitates a more pragmatic and generalized interpretation of the issues at hand, making it suitable for policymakers aiming to address educational disparities attributed to family structure.

Major Differences Between Qualitative and Quantitative Research Methods

Qualitative and quantitative research methodologies differ fundamentally in their underlying purposes, approaches, and analytical techniques. Qualitative research primarily seeks to understand human behavior through the exploration of subjective experiences, using methods such as interviews, focus groups, and content analysis. This approach is particularly useful in uncovering the depths of social phenomena, as illustrated in the qualitative studies discussed above (Calder, 2018; Chukwuka, 2018).
Quantitative research, on the other hand, emphasizes measurement and comparison, relying heavily on statistical analysis to draw conclusions. This paradigm requires well-defined variables and large sample sizes to facilitate generalization (Fučík, 2016; Amato & Keith, 1991). Quantitative studies often employ instruments such as surveys or experiments to generate numerical data, allowing for the application of inferential statistics and facilitating robust conclusions across larger populations.
The predominant distinction lies in qualitative research’s emphasis on understanding the "how" and "why" of complex social phenomena while quantitative research focuses on the "what" and "how many" (Creswell, 2014). These differences underscore the significance of both methodologies in yielding comprehensive insights into human behavior and societal structures.

Conclusion

This assignment highlights the complementary nature of qualitative and quantitative research methodologies. The qualitative studies by Chukwuka (2018) and Calder (2018) offer in-depth insights into the personal and emotional dynamics of single-parent families, while the quantitative studies by Fučík (2016) and Amato and Keith (1991) provide a broader understanding of trends and correlations regarding educational outcomes. Recognizing the strengths and weaknesses of each methodology allows researchers to tailor their approaches effectively to address specific research questions and context, ultimately enhancing the body of knowledge surrounding single-parenting and its impacts on children's education.
