RSCH 8200: Quantitative Reasoning and Analysis
Final Project: Developing a Quantitative Research Plan
For the final project, students will develop a quantitative research plan. As such, students have two choices:
· Continue to develop the abbreviated quantitative plan completed in RSCH 8100, or
· Develop a new plan
Please note:
This is not meant to be a full research plan in that students will not be constructing data collection instruments or generating data to use. The final project is meant to develop understanding about the relationships between research questions and hypotheses, research design, and statistical tests. For this project, students will consider more the design and methodology of the quantitative research they propose.
The Final Project should include the following:
Title
Introduction
A. Opening statement
B. Background of the study
a. Summary of the literature framing history of the project, using 5 articles related to the problem
b. Gaps and/or deficiencies in prior research
c. Importance of present study
i. Why the study should be pursued
ii. For whom is it important
C. Problem statement
D. Purpose of the statement
a. Research design (experimental, quasi-experimental, or non-experimental)
b. Theory tested or described
c. Intent (describe, compare, relate)
d. Variables (independent, dependent, controlling, intervening)
E. Research question(s) and hypotheses
a. Research question(s)
b. Null and alternative hypotheses for each research question, including how each of the variables will be operationalized
F. Nature of the study
a. Design
i. Paradigm (quantitative)
ii. Design
1. Experimental, quasi-experimental, or pre/non-experimental
2. Specific design (e.g., pre-post test control group, time-series, etc. See Campbell & Stanley 1963.)

Research Plan

6. · Consider the research plan you are developing for the Final
Project.
· What levels of measurement will be important for your study?
Why?
· How will you ensure content validity, empirical validity, and
construct validity for your study? If any of these types of
validity do not apply to your plan, provide a rationale.
· How will you ensure reliability for the measurement in your
study?
· Consider the strengths and limitations of the measurement
instrument you have selected in terms of reliability and validity.
· What scale is appropriate for you to use for your plan? Why?
How do you know your scale is reliable and valid? If you can't
find reliability and validity for your scale, how would you
demonstrate that the scale is reliable and valid?
· What test is appropriate for your plan? Identify it as norm or
criterion referenced.
· What population is used for the scale and test (see Week 5
Discussion)?
· Provide references to the literature to support your choices
and rationales.
The assignment:
· Craft a 7- to 9-page paper that includes the following:
·
