This week you learned how research problems, questions, and designs are aligned in a coherent quantitative research study. For this discussion, evaluate the research problem, question, and design in the quantitative study you identified for your Week 3 assignment. Respond to these guiding questions to help inform your quantitative mini-proposal, due next week.  

• Identify the research problem (the gap in the current literature). How clearly stated is the research problem?
• Identify the research questions. Are they clearly stated and aligned to the problem?
• Identify the research design. How does the research design address the research questions?
