Analyzing and Evaluating Research Questions and Hypotheses
Creswell points out that “[I]nvestigators place signposts to carry the reader through a plan for a study” (p. 129). If the introduction and purpose statement tell where you want to go, the research question or questions are the routes for getting there. In this Discussion, you will work with research questions and hypotheses and examine how they relate to the purpose statement.
This is the final Discussion working with Articles A and B. You will work with the same article that you worked with last week. As in the previous 3 weeks, the Respond requirement this week does not follow the usual guidelines. You will still respond to two colleagues, but one of those colleagues must have read Article A and one must have read Article B. As a result, you will need to familiarize yourself with the article that you were not assigned to in order to respond effectively.
To prepare for this Discussion:
With these thoughts in mind:
Post by Day 3 a 3-paragraph evaluation of your assigned article according to the criteria below:
-For the qualitative article, the research questions.
-For the quantitative article, the research questions and testable hypotheses. Also identify the variables and the type of hypothesis that is present.
