This will be the foundation for future discussions. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.

Quantitative Research Questions and Hypotheses

• Considering your text reading, what are some distinctions about research questions that guide quantitative research methods?
• Focusing on your selected problem or issue and theoretical topic, propose a possible research question and a hypothesis requiring quantitative data capture.

NB: My Research problem:

is Using Emerging Technologies in online education in Africa.

Using the online library, relate it to my research problem: Using Emerging Technologies in online education in Africa.

In the selected Theoretical Frameworks article, Weigel, Hazen, Cegielski, & Hall (2014) conduct a meta-analysis of the use of the Diffusion of Innovations (DOI) theory and the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) in Information Systems (IS) research. The DOI theory could be applied to the research problem of using emerging computing technologies in the educational system to predict and explain educational institutions' adoption of these technologies. The TPB could be applied to the research problem to predict and explain the adoption of these technologies by individual students and teachers.
