research Question Identification Discussion

For Milestone Two, due in Module Three, you will participate in a discussion in which you will share your research question with your classmates and identify four additional references that relate to the gap your proposed research study would fill. When you are done with this assignment, you will have a total of seven references to use for your final paper. Your instructor will also give you specific feedback on your research question, references, and proposed study on the discussion topic and in your grading feedback for this assignment. Incorporate the feedback into your final paper, paying particular attention to the requirements in the Research Design section. The final project is meant for you to propose a hypothetical study. You are not and should not be conducting human subjects research for this project. It is not necessary for the purposes of this assignment. All human subjects research requires written approval from the SNHU COCE Institutional Review Board in order to protect the welfare and ensure ethical treatment of the subjects.

Prompt

Compose one initial post and follow up with at least two response posts. For your initial post, do the following:

Describe the research gap you identified and share the research question you came up with for the Topic Proposal and Literature Review Worksheet in Module Two.

Find four additional references for this milestone and list them in APA format. Give a brief description of what they analyze, how they tie into your chosen topic, and how they demonstrate the research gap you identified. Note: You must reference a total of seven sources in your final research paper.

• Share the basics of your proposed study to address the research gap, including any ethical considerations.
• Your classmates will give you feedback on your research question, and you will provide feedback to at least two of your peers. In your responses, give your opinion of their research questions and state whether you believe they address a real gap in the research. Explain why or why not, and share suggestions on how the question could be broadened or narrowed down, if either change is needed. Do you see potential ethical questions? If so, point them out and give suggestions on how they could be addressed.
