Research Design: Null Hypothesis Significance Testing

· 8.5 Research Design: Null Hypothesis Significance Testing

Following the process for developing a research manuscript, use the problem area you have been studying and form a statistical hypothesis to test your research question. This must be done in a quantitative approach in order to test for significance levels, so if you have been working with a qualitative methodology, a mixed design here would be appropriate.

Prepare a plan for:

· How you would test the hypothesis.

· What would constitute a statistically significant finding.

· What the implications would be for your research effort.

· Must demonstrate understanding of the null hypothesis and interpretation of significance testing.

· Where applicable, the student should provide evidence they have processed peer review feedback and made adjustments where practicable.

· You will be graded on your paper via the rubric and marked for the satisfactory completion of two peer comments.

· This activity is graded satisfactory/unsatisfactory, all parts must be completed up to standards to receive points.

· Grading will reflect whether the assignment has been completed satisfactorily
