MODULE 4 ANNOUNCEMENTS

Welcome to Module 4!

While similar in structure to other empirical studies, quantitative research studies employ unique language and carry specific expectations for supporting the legitimacy of the research. Doctoral learners must be able to clearly identify quantitative research studies in the literature and read them critically to assure that the research is valid and reliable before including such studies their own literature reviews or applying them to identify problem spaces for their studies. Further, learners intending to examine large samples in order to generalize outcomes to a population or a sub-population must familiarize themselves with quantitative research frameworks.

Objectives:

Identify quantitative research.

Critique quantitative research.
