During this week, you learned about paradigmatic perspectives, quantitative methodology, and quantitative designs. Last week, your assignment was to envision your research focus from both theoretical and applied research approaches.
This week, you are to consider research into your topic using quantitative methodology. To complete this assignment, you will use the Week 3 discussion of research questions and the Week 2 problem and purpose statements (as refined through feedback received). These statements should align with the focus and scope (i.e., theoretical or applied) of your degree program. In this assignment, you will propose alignment of paradigmatic perspective, quantitative methodology, and one quantitative design.
Organize your work as follows:
- Part 1: one-paragraph summary of your evolving topical area of interest
- Part 2: your refined problem and purpose statements
- Part 3: one potential research question and related hypotheses
- Part 4: a side-by-side presentation (see example) of paradigmatic perspective, quantitative methodology, and at least two quantitative designs

- Part 5: one page stating the justification of your choices, including how your choices best suit investigating your refined problem statement and fulfilling the purpose of the research
Please don’t forget to fill out week 4’s worksheet as well. Be aware of all grammatical and typographical errors. Message me when you are finished.
