Quantitative Research Methodology and Design Discussion
Your dissertation topic will need to be aligned with your degree program and specialization. For the purposes of this assignment, consider how you could research your chosen dissertation topic through a quantitative lens, using quantitative methods and research questions that are aligned with quantitative research.
The focus of this course is quantitative research methodology and design. Be sure that your assignment reflects a quantitative problem, purpose, and research question methodology (even if you plan to pursue qualitative methods for your dissertation).
If you do not have a research topic at this time; then contact your instructor or use a simple quantitative research study in your field that you are familiar with. Be sure to keep your quantitative research simple for this course. Recall that the focus of the course is learning quantitative research methodology and design.
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. You may want to use the Methods Map to provide an overview of a quantitative approach.
When using the map, it is recommended that you begin with “Quantitative Data Collection,” which will provide a list of the method on the right. You can click on any of these for more information. Remember to look at the top box for definitions of terms/concepts.
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.
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. 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.
Length: Your paper should be between 3-5 pages, not including title and reference page.

Introduction
45-41 points The background and significance of the problem and a clear statement of the research purpose is provided. The search history is mentioned. |
Literature Support 91-84 points The background and significance of the problem and a clear statement of the research purpose is provided. The search history is mentioned. |
Methodology 58-53 points Content is well-organized with headings for each slide and bulleted lists to group related material as needed. Use of font, color, graphics, effects, etc. to enhance readability and presentation content is excellent. Length requirements of 10 slides/pages or less is met. |

Average Score 50-85% |
40-38 points More depth/detail for the background and significance is needed, or the research detail is not clear. No search history information is provided. |
83-76 points Review of relevant theoretical literature is evident, but there is little integration of studies into concepts related to problem. Review is partially focused and organized. Supporting and opposing research are included. Summary of information presented is included. Conclusion may not contain a biblical integration. |
52-49 points Content is somewhat organized, but no structure is apparent. The use of font, color, graphics, effects, etc. is occasionally detracting to the presentation content. Length requirements may not be met. |

Poor Quality 0-45% |
37-1 points The background and/or significance are missing. No search history information is provided. |
75-1 points Review of relevant theoretical literature is evident, but there is no integration of studies into concepts related to problem. Review is partially focused and organized. Supporting and opposing research are not included in the summary of information presented. Conclusion does not contain a biblical integration. |
