INSTRUCTIONS
1. The student will discuss how the definition and use of quantitative research in at least 200 words, incorporating support for the definition from research in current APA format.
2. Review the Questionairre and Form Design sections in the course text. In at least 200 words, briefly describe the methodology you will use for your research. Be specific here, clearly defining who your target population is for survey distribution, how you will deploy your survey, and your sample size. (For this assignment, please target 30 valid and fully completed survey responses.)
3. Submit your Questionnaire Design in Appendix A. Please include a mix of questions that are relevant to your research problem, targeting 8–10 questions. Questions should include two demographic questions such as age or gender, as this is important information to help you with analyzing your data in the next step of this assignment. Please include fixed-alternative questions (provide a scale or specific answer options for the respondent to select from). Do not use open-ended (write-in) questions as these are not permitted for this assignment. You may find that a survey instrument already exists for your research problem. You may use a previously tested survey but must attribute credit to the survey source in current APA format.
4. Please submit this assignment as a continuation of your Research Report: Research Problem Assignment (with any revisions included from your graded feedback), incorporating your written components into the document in paragraph format. Your report should now be approximately 1,000-1,200 words.
5. The organization of the Research Report sections/headings is as follows: Title page, Body of Report (Introduction, Research Problem, Literature Review, Methodology, Results, Conclusions and Recommendations), References, Appendix A, Appendix B, Appendix C.
