Consider a potential quantitative research problem you might choose for your Signature Assignment involving a fictitious research proposal. This topic can be one you have examined in previous courses or one you have recently become interested in exploring further for your capstone project or dissertation research study.

Consider the general problems or issues currently existing within your professional area of interest in education. Remember that at the graduate-level, a problem from practice must also be situated within the peer-reviewed scholarly literature. As you continue to explore and learn more about your identified problems or issues of research interest, you will be able to more naturally narrow your research topic to one you will truly find interest and inspiration to research.

Once you have identified a fairly broad yet well-supported research problem, determine the three best peer-reviewed quantitative research articles using the Northcentral Library that have noted this problem. (Note. Ensure the articles incorporated a quantitative research design and not a meta-analysis or critical review of previously conducted quantitative research findings.)

For each article, discuss the following elements:

Identify the research problem of inquiry.

Explain the purpose or intent of the research.

Summarize the research questions(s) or areas of inquiry.

Identify the specific quantitative design utilized.

Describe the sample/participants and target population.

Summarize how the ethical treatment of the human subjects was ensured.

Explain the quantitative data collection method.

Explain the quantitative data analysis method.

Describe how the proper design identification and implementation to ensure validity in the results was supported.

Briefly reflect on the overall strengths and weaknesses of the reviewed qualitative research.
