Research Assignment
Using the articles from previous activities or 4 new quantitative studies create a chart to provide a visual graphic of dependent and independent variables and align with the selected theory in response to the research question. Following the Prospectus description for the Statement of the Problem in the Doctoral Project Manual, use the criteria and information from previous activities to draft your Statement of the Problem. Use your Research Question as your focus for the discussion. Clearly identify the parameters of your inquiry using the current literature. Establish what is known and unknown, using current literature from the last 5 years, relevant to the variables you have identified.
Submit chart using points of emphasis above. 1 or 2 pages.
Submit Quantitative Studies Paper: Write a 3-5 page paper using six research articles using one of the charts designed during the class. Refine the chart as needed to reflect the focus of your paper and new articles. Include charts, tables, and graphs as an appendix at the end of the paper.
The main purpose for this activity is to present an issue via the exploration of clear factors and applicable theory as they relate to your research interest. This academic discourse will allow you to use your critical thinking skills to analyze the different factors and then draw conclusions based on the evidence you present.
Prepare a 3-5 page quantitative studies paper on a specific topic of interest. Assert your research question and applicable theory. Select the predominate factor and provide insights for two perspectives. Provide evidence from quantitative research to support your position. Use the following outline:
• Provide an introduction (include research question, hypothesis and applicable theory)
• Follow with the background of the problem
• Present the statement of the problem
• Provide a discussion of two perspectives regarding the selected predominate factor and link to the applicable theory
• Finally, draw conclusions based on what you have presented
Again, include one of the graphs, tables, or charts to reflect the statistical significance of the factors you have identified. Include them as an appendix to your paper. Your discussion does not include the cover page, references, or appendices.
Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
1. The answer should be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
