Please refer to order # 184504959 to complete the following:
Hypothesis Section:
Since your hypotheses may serve as your research questions (what you plan to measure/examine), list the questions and then convert them into hypotheses. Research questions must be individual questions that measure only one item (one question = one measurement). A couple of questions are expected in this section (typically 2 to 4).
The Research Design (Methodology) Section:
Provide the reader with a summary of the research. You will address the research problem, the research questions (hypotheses) that need to be addressed to resolve this problem, the research method (qualitative or quantitative), how you will select your sample population, how you will collect your data, and how you will analyze your data.
In short, your research design should illustrate the “step by step” directions that would enable another researcher to execute your research if you are unable to conduct the study yourself. Think of this as directions from how to get to point A to point B. This detail is necessary as it demonstrates that you understand how to best conduct your research for your topic. Speak in the future tense when you complete this section.
Identified and Operationalized (measurement) Variables.
Provided Sampling Plan (i.e., study population and sampling procedures, if appropriate) and justification. This section is primarily focused on the population or sample you will use for your study and why? For example, will you use APUS students and faculty, an organization of people, or the general public to collect data.
Provided Data Collection (secondary literature, archives, interviews, surveys, etc.). For example, what instrument will you use (survey, interview, etc.)? What documents will you use if conducting a document analysis?
Provided a Summary of Analysis Procedures (pattern-matching, etc.). The goal of this section is to explain how you will analyze the data collected using descriptive statistics, (Mean, Median and Mode), frequency distribution, T-test, ANOVA, Chi Square; Correlation, pattern matching (using charts, diagram, tables, models), etc.
Provided the Limitations of Study and bias discussion.
In short, your research design should illustrate the “step by step” directions that would enable another researcher to execute your research if you are unable to conduct the study yourself. Think of this as directions from how to get to point A to point B. This detail is necessary as it demonstrates that you understand how to best conduct your research for your topic.
References:
Incorporate your references into this section and provide one comprehensive list. Use APA 6th Edition format. If you have a citation in the body of your work, you must provide the appropriate reference in the reference section.
