Creswell points out that "[I]nvestigators place sign posts to carry the reader through a plan for a study" (p. 129). If the introduction and purpose statement tell where you want to go, the research question or questions are the routes for getting there. In this Discussion, you will work with research questions and hypotheses and examine how they relate to the purpose statement.
To prepare for this Discussion:
· Review your assigned article—either Article A or Article B, as described above.
· Review Chapter 7 of the course text, Research Design.
· Review the book excerpt "A Typology of Research Purposes and Its Relationship to Mixed Methods
· For those students assigned to the quantitative article, critique the research questions and testable hypothesis. Identify and describe the variables and describe what type of hypothesis it is according to Creswell's criteria.
· Look to the Research Questions and Hypotheses Checklist for more guidance in analyzing and evaluating the research questions and hypotheses in your assigned article.
