This is followed with a discussion about the results at the lower end of the scale and potential factors for that and finally a conclusion. All charts except for those in the section on baseline data are detailed in Appendix B. 1 2. Methodology The focus of the evaluation was, as discussed above, to assess the impact of the SIMVenture software on students and to report back on whether the financial investment of the Institute for Enterprise in purchasing the software had been value for money. The research methodology and design underpinning the evaluation and questionnaire was applied following a separate project undertaken by the Researchers investigating a new approach to evaluating enterprise education curriculum in higher education (Harte & Stewart, 2010; Stewart & Harte, 2010). Our methodology is key in this piece of research which is openly constructionist to take account of the heavy influence from numerous contextual factors which are discussed below but not least the student voice. The approach taken to evaluate the SIMVenture module was designed by applying the local contextual factors that are integral to the design and delivery of the actual module. These factors are contextual factors

The purpose of this assignment is to analyze the two articles that were given to us, in terms of whether or not they are using a scientific method and which of the two paradigms -constructivism/positivism- they are following. The first part of my assignment contains information about what is considered a “scientific method”. Afterwards follows an analysis on whether the two articles (“Criminal Behaviour in users of Psychoactive Substances Who Began Treatment”, “I just have to move on: Women’s coping experiences and reflections following their first year after primary breast cancer surgery”) are scientifically approved. Thence follows an interpretation on what is “constructivism”, “positivism” and in the end, an explanation concerning the two articles and which paradigm each of them follows.
The objective of this chapter is to describe the procedures used in the analysis of the data and present the main findings. It also presents the different tests performed to help choose the appropriate model for the study. The chapter concludes by providing thorough statistical interpretation of the findings.
