Discussion Post: Research Elements
Execution of an optimal survey study depends on the interactive order and flow in the continuum of survey research methodological components. For example, the purpose of the study needs to directly address the problem. The research questions and hypotheses need to use the same operationally defined terms found in the problem and purpose, and the theory must be both testable and serve as the framework that holds all of the pieces of your study together.
For the Discussion, select two of the following research elements to use for this assignment: research problems, theory, definitions, research questions, or hypotheses. Then, consider how these two elements are related. Finally, consider the topic you plan to use for your Research Proposal (and, potentially, for your dissertation), and why you feel it is a relevant survey research topic.
Post an explanation of how the two research elements you selected are related. Then describe the topic you plan to use for your Research Proposal and why it is a relevant survey research topic.
The response should include a reference list. Using one-inch margins, Times New Roman 12 pnt font, double-space and APA style of writing and citations.
