For this assignment, you will continue to refine your statement of the problem, purpose of the research, research question(s), and hypotheses developed in last week’s assignment as well as explore how you might collect quantitative data relative to your topic. Be sure to respond to the following items in your Discussion:1 Revise and restate your statement of the problem, purpose of the research, research question(s), and hypotheses developed in last week’s assignment integrating faculty feedback. Ensure alignment in wording and content among all four of these components.2 Of the quantitative research designs noted in the assignment readings, identify one design, clearly explain the representative sample (i.e., who and how chosen) and corresponding larger population, how data will be collected, and defend this design as the most appropriate to address your research question(s).3 Identify any variable (e.g., independent, dependent, predictor, and outcome) used. Describe the scale of each variable (e.g., nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio) used. Will an effect of a variable on a different variable be measured? Will a difference be determined between variables? Will a relationship be determined between variables? Describe all utilized groups (e.g., treatment and control).4 How will validity be supported, or what you intend to measure is actually measured? How will the effects of possible confounding variables be controlled?5 Discuss possible ethical issues to be considered when using your quantitative data collection procedures.Length: 5 pages, not including a title or reference pagesReferences: Support your work with a minimum of five scholarly resources.Your paper should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly academic writing, current APA standards, and adhere to Northcentral University\’s Academic Integrity Policy.Upload your assignment using the Upload button below.Learning Outcomes2.0 Analyze the three primary methodologies of scientific inquiry involving quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods.4.0 Develop the steps to conduct scholarly research.5.0 Evaluate practical and ethical issues associated with conducting research specific to different methodologies.6.0 Synthesize the scholarly literature regarding an education related topic of interest.7.0 Begin to develop a focused and dissertation-level problem statement, purpose statement, and research question(s).
