Quantitative research methodologies require "the collection of and analysis of numerical data and utilize deductive approaches of reasoning".

(Mertler, 2019) desiraeysmith https://padlet.com/desiraeysmith/fpv6mdxq03doq20y/wish/1722732687 Null, nondirectional, and directional research hypotheses are the three components of research hypotheses.

The null hypothesis asserts that no effect between variables will be discovered.

The nondirectional specifies that an effect, difference, or relationship will be discovered but does not indicate which way they will be found.

The directional also asserts that an effect, a difference, or a link will be discovered, and it specifies the effect's direction.]]> 2021-09-07 18:56:50 UTC https://padlet.com/desiraeysmith/fpv6mdxq03doq20y/wish/1722732687 Quantitative Research Question Example - Mental Health desiraeysmith https://padlet.com/desiraeysmith/fpv6mdxq03doq20y/wish/1722767082 How does race affect rates of mental health diagnosis among teens in foster care?]]> 2021-09-07 19:14:42 UTC https://padlet.com/desiraeysmith/fpv6mdxq03doq20y/wish/1722767082 Qualitative Research Question Example - Mental Health desiraeysmith https://padlet.com/desiraeysmith/fpv6mdxq03doq20y/wish/1722768260 What is the experience of African-American teens seeking help for mental health concerns?]]> 2021-09-07 19:15:18 UTC https://padlet.com/desiraeysmith/fpv6mdxq03doq20y/wish/1722768260 A research design is a basic blueprint for an action research study. desiraeysmith https://padlet.com/desiraeysmith/fpv6mdxq03doq20y/wish/1722789380 2021-09-07 19:25:26 UTC https://padlet.com/desiraeysmith/fpv6mdxq03doq20y/wish/1722789380 desiraeysmith https://padlet.com/desiraeysmith/fpv6mdxq03doq20y/wish/1722872168 In comparison to quantitative research methods, qualitative research designs are less organized and comprehensive in their approach.]]> 2021-09-07 20:15:55 UTC https://padlet.com/desiraeysmith/fpv6mdxq03doq20y/wish/1722872168 Survey Research desiraeysmith https://padlet.com/desiraeysmith/fpv6mdxq03doq20y/wish/1722873956 The most basic instrument for all quantitative research is survey research.

Research Question: How does teaching to learning styles in the classroom affect student achievement and engagement? 

Null Hypothesis: The inclusion of learning styles has no effect on student achievement or engagement. 

Non-Directional Hypothesis: Elementary students will perform differently from middle school students with inclusive learning style lessons.

Directional Hypothesis: Incorporating different learning styles in the classroom will increase the level of student achievement and engagement.]]> 2021-09-07 21:21:42 UTC https://padlet.com/desiraeysmith/fpv6mdxq03doq20y/wish/1722970766
