Evaluate quantitative research questions and hypotheses

Evaluate quantitative research questions and hypotheses

• Evaluate quantitative research questions and hypotheses in research studies published in peer-reviewed journals
• Identify quantitative designs in research studies published in peer-reviewed journals
• Explain use of quantitative designs in research studies published in peer-reviewed journals
• Analyze alignment among theory, problem, purpose, research questions and hypotheses, and design in quantitative research studies published in peer-reviewed journals
• Apply APA Style to writing

For this Discussion, you will evaluate quantitative research questions and hypotheses in assigned journal articles in your discipline and consider the alignment of theory, problem, purpose, research questions and hypotheses, and design. You will also identify the type of quantitative research design the authors used and explain how it was implemented. Quasi-experimental, casual comparative, correlational, pretest–posttest, or true experimental are examples of types of research designs used in quantitative research.

• Evaluate the research questions and hypotheses.

  The Research Questions and Hypotheses Checklist serves as a guide for your evaluation. Please do not respond to the checklist in a Yes/No format in writing your Discussion post.

• Identify the type of quantitative research design used and explain how the researchers implemented the design.
• Analyze alignment among the theory, problem, purpose, research questions and hypotheses, and design.

Be sure to support your Main Issue Post and Response Post with reference to the week’s Learning Resources and other scholarly evidence in APA Style.
