Therefore, you are strongly encouraged to complete them in the order in which they are presented.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">The quantitative method is the original scientific method. Quantitative research methods can be subdivided by various designs that researchers use to answer their research questions. In fact, the wording of the research question must match the methodology and may contain the words that indicate the design. Quantitative research identifies what happened, but not why it happened. It identifies causation or relationships.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">The relationships in a quantitative research study are similar to those used for a qualitative design. There is still a relationship between the theory, problem, purpose and, now, the research questions, hypotheses, and design. This week, you will continue to expand your understanding of this framework by analyzing and evaluating research questions and hypotheses in quantitative studies. You will also learn about various quantitative research designs that researchers use to answer their research questions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">In addition, you will continue to analyze the interrelated elements of a research study, making the connection among theory, problem, and purpose, and research questions, hypotheses, and design.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"margin: -1px 0px 0px; font-weight: 700; font-size: 24px; line-height: 30px; cursor: auto;\">Instructions<\/h2>\n<div style=\"padding: 15px 46px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\" aria-labelledby=\"hlwgqlil3587\">\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">For this assessment it is suggested that you build upon the work that you did in the Research Problem and Purpose Statements assessment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">The assessment has two distinct parts:<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin: 6px 0px; font-weight: 700; font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1.5; cursor: auto;\">Part 1: Quantitative Research Question<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Relevant Scoring Guide Criteria:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 25px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<li style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Formulate a quantitative research question and associated hypothesis.<\/li>\n<li style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and respectful of the diversity, dignity, and integrity of others and is consistent with expectations for health care professionals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">For this section, you will formulate a research question that is appropriate for a research project that will use quantitative methodologies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Remember the HAC that you used in your Research Problem and Purpose Statements assessment<em style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">.<span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/em>Additionally, your research question should align to the problem and purpose statements that you developed at that time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Keep in mind that a well-written research question should be a single statement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">When examining or creating quantitative research questions, the following checklist may be useful:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Quantitative Research Question Checklist<\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 25px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<li style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Does the purpose statement fit logically with the problem statement?
