Identify range and interpretation, or group classification of the variable/construct.

For this Signature Assignment,
develop and present a quasi-proposal for your intended
research or quantitative example that you have been working with for this
course.
While the most important elements in any proposal are the
fundamentals of the problem, purpose, and research questions, the bulk of the
assignment will be the methodology. Organize your quasi-proposal for this
assignment by subheadings. The actual headings and information that need to be
included depend on the method used to collect the data. In studies involving
the collection of primary data, you want to be sure to include the details of
your sampling plan, measurement of variables, the actual data collection
procedure, plan of analysis, and justification for your decisions.
Include the following information, using these
headings, in your quasi-proposal:
Introduction
Statement
of the Problem
Purpose
Statement
Research
Questions
Hypotheses

Null
and Alternative for each research question

Methodology

Research
Design: Specific quantitative method to be used and rationale. Cite works
related to your decision.
Operationalization
of Variable: Specification of the concepts to be measured for each
variable/construct.

State
variable/construct name,
Define
the variable/construct,
Identify
the source of the variable/construct,
Describe
how the variable/construct is scored,
Identify
the level of measurement of the variable/construct,
Identify
range and interpretation, or group classification of the variable/construct.

Specification
of the population, recruitment method, and target sample size with
justification.
Data
collection procedure: Explanation of how the data will be collected.
Intended
data analysis: Explain how the data will be analyzed to test the hypotheses
and provide answers to the research questions. Provide your rationale.

Validity:
Any plausible threats to internal and external validity.

In this assignment, you are expected to incorporate all
previous instructor feedback. Your prospectus must be in APA format and be of
the quality expected of doctoral-level work. All research elements must be in
alignment and reflect a cohesive and comprehensive research study.
