Week 4 - Developing the Research Questions

For this assignment, you will write the research questions for your Research Plan. Research questions represent the purpose of conducting the study, and well-stated research questions drive the investigation and the implementation of the study. Beware of poorly stated, ambiguous research questions which can muddy the investigation and make it difficult for the reader to decipher the intended research.

In quantitative studies, research questions are most often descriptive, cor relational, or comparative, focusing on describing the distribution of variables, the extent of relationships among variables, or differences within or between groups.

In qualitative studies, the research questions are generally broad in nature, focusing on exploring or describing how or why.

Read the relevant sources on developing research questions.

Review the Developing Research Questions video.

Determine what research questions might be relevant for your research plan. Ensure that the questions are formatted per guidance in the presentation.

Post your draft problem statement, purpose, and research questions to the discussion learning activity. See the Research Question Peer Review Discussion learning activity for additional instructions.

Use the Research Plan template so your assignment is formatted according to APA guidelines.
