It is essential for researchers to be familiar with and have a clear understanding of different research approaches in order to begin identifying their research study.

using three of the research approaches (qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods), examine how a researcher could incorporate theory into the research design. The use of theory is different for qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods approaches. Therefore, present an approach from each along with supporting evidence and address the following:

1. What type of approach would this approach fall under, theoretical, or applied? Inductive or deductive? Why?
2. How could the use of a theory inform and improve the quality and relevance of this research?
3. What applicable theory frameworks, models, perspectives, or practice strategies could apply? Justify your rationale.
