Question:

First, review the Template. While qualitative or quantitative design have many similarities, there are some important differences in the way each should be treated. In an APA style document with citations compare and contrast the expectations for each approach as presented in the template.

You may use other references to help clarify the similarities and the differences.

Then, select either quantitative or qualitative approach; for that approach document and discuss the Best Practices suggestions.

Support your paper with a minimum of 5 resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles, may be included.

Length: 5-7 pages not including title and reference pages

References: Minimum of 5 scholarly resources. Please format according to APA 6th and include either the url or doi number.

Your paper should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts that are presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your paper should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards. Review APA Form and Style.The purpose statement should be one concise paragraph that describes the intent of the study and it should flow directly from the problem statement.

• The research design is clearly stated and is aligned with the problem statement.
• The participants and/or data sources are identified (See the Research Degree Guidebook for additional information).
• The geographic location of study is identified (as appropriate).

Research Questions

Before listing the research questions, introductory information should be presented in a discussion context. The research questions are to be distinct and answerable, given the identified constructs/phenomenon and population.

Quantitative: Research questions are included and the question list is followed by a corresponding list of proposed hypothesis(es). Ensure the research questions and hypothesis(es) are aligned with Purpose statement. The research questions and hypotheses must be directly answerable, specific and testable based on the data collected.

Qualitative: Proposed research questions that are related to the phenomenon are stated. The proposed research questions must be aligned with the purpose statement. Qualitative research questions should be open-ended and reflect the nature of the qualitative design (avoid yes/no and closed ended questions).
