Instructions Your assignment is to draft two or more research questions that will guide your dissertation study. These questions must relate to the problem statement you wrote last week. Furthermore, the questions must be either qualitative or quantitative in nature Remember that research questions will serve as an overarching guide for your study. Importantly, they are not the questions you will ask your participants (for example, in interviews or focus groups). Be sure your research questions do not include the words "you" or "your". Please ask your instructor if you have any questions about the difference between research questions and interview questions. If you choose to write research questions that align with a quantitative method, you must also include hypotheses. Hypotheses should not be included if you are writing research questions that align with a qualitative method. Please note: Qualitative: Qualitative research questions should be open- ended and reflect the nature of the qualitative design. They should not be yeso questions or closed-ended questions. As mentioned above, qualitative research questions should not be confused with interview questions. Quantitative: Quantitative research questions must be directly answerable, specific, and testable based on the data collected. It is recommended that you first review the instrument you will use to collect data or review the secondary data you may use for your study: both of these items can give you important cues for developing your research questions Both the null and alternative hypotheses must be stated and directly correspond with the research question. Statistical hypotheses must be stated in testable, negatable form with mention of a population parameter (mean, standard deviation, correlation, etc.). Each hypothesis must represent one distinct testable prediction. Upon testing, each hypothesis must be entirely supported or entirely negated. Below is a checklist to use in the development of your research questions. Yes No Questions Did I create two or more questions closely related to my topic and aligned with my problem statement? Are my questions measurable or answerable? Is the scope of my questions reasonable for the time and resources I have to complete this research? Will these questions help me better understand some area needing to be changed or improved? Are my questions phrased to avoid leading language? Are my questions non-binary- do my questions avoid a "yes" or "no" response? Requirements Length: .5 - 1 page, depending on the number and type of research questions and whether hypotheses are required. Note: Unless you specifically cite another author in your research questions (which is not the norm), you do not need to add any
