25 Aug Compare and contrast the characteristics of experimental and nonexperimental quantitative research.
PLEASE UPLOAD EACH ASSIGNMENT SEPARATELY ASSIGNMENT 1 1) Compare and contrast the characteristics of experimental and nonexperimental quantitative research. 2) State the research question the researchers were trying to answer in the study. 3) Identify the type of quantitative research design that was used in the assigned study. 4) Evaluate whether the researchers’ conclusion follows logically from the evidence presented. 5) Identify threats to internal and external validity that might apply to how this study was conducted. 6) Determine whether validity threats were addressed by the researchers. If so, describe how this was done. 7) Summarize ethical considerations that were mentioned in the research report. 8) Assess what ethical considerations apply to the design of the study but that
were not mentioned by the researchers. 9) Explain how you might do a study on this topic differently and why yourapproach would be more appropriate than the one used by the researchers. 10) Evaluate whether a quantitative approach would be useful for the research topic you chose in Week 1. 11) Describe the actions you would take to ensure that a quantitative study on your topic would be ethical. 12) Support your evaluation of the study with citations and references of peer- reviewed sources.
ASSIGNMENT 2 1) Apply the scientific method by developing a null and an alternative hypothesis that provide potential answers to the research question. 2) Review the quantitative research designs in the required readings and choose one that is suitable for your research question and hypotheses. Explain why this choice is most appropriate to test your hypotheses.
3) Describe the target population, the desired sample, and any cultural considerations that may be involved.
4) Identify potential internal and external threats to validity. Explain how you might mitigate these threats.
5) Determine ethical issues that would need to be addressed. Explain what you would do to ensure an ethical study.
