Develop a problem statement, purpose statement, and research questions with corresponding set of hypotheses for your intended dissertation research (or a quantitative example) that will use a quantitative approach.
This is to be based on: (1) the review of the literature in your topic area; (2) the identification of a problem based on your analysis of this literature; (3) evidence for a research-worthy problem; (4) well-formulated research question(s) and hypotheses; and (5) your understanding of the alternative types of quantitative research studies.
Use the following section headings to organize your assignment response:
- Overview of the Research Focus.
- Provide a brief introduction to the research topic and focus.
- Statement of the Problem
- Begin with a clear statement of the problem.
- It is recommended to use the phrase: “The problem addressed is …”
- Evidence that the problem is current and worthy of a research study using citation of source(s) from the literature and/or empirical evidence from a credible source. Be sure to include a minimum of 3 sources that support or source the problem. Continue to search for additional sources during this course to build the Statement of the Problem section for the signature assignment.
- Begin with a clear statement of the problem.
- Purpose of the Study
- Provide a clear statement of the research purpose that addresses the problem identified in the problem statement.
- It is recommended to use the phrase: “The purpose of this quantitative study is…”
- Do not exceed three sentences for this section.
- Research Question(s)and Hypotheses
- For this section, use the following format for listing the research question(s) and associated set of hypotheses (null and alternative hypotheses). NOTE: Descriptive research questions are excluded for this assignment.
- RQ1:
- Begin text here
- H10:
- Begin null hypothesis text here.
- H11:
- Begin alternative hypothesis text here.
- Repeat for each research question and set of hypotheses using RQ2, H20, H21, etc. It is recommended to not exceed two research questions for the purposes of this assignment response.
- For this section, use the following format for listing the research question(s) and associated set of hypotheses (null and alternative hypotheses). NOTE: Descriptive research questions are excluded for this assignment.
Length: 3-5 pages, not including title and reference page.
References: minimum of eight (8) scholarly resources.
