PROFICIENT

Identifies relevant quantitative methodologies that will support answering a research question.

DISTINGUISHED

Identifies relevant quantitative methodologies that will support answering a research question and offers a brief rationale for why the identified quantitative methodologies are relevant.

Was not specifically stated in a manner to determine if you selected a quantitative study that would answer the research question in a quantitative manner with a rationale for the methodology with relevance and a reference all tied to the stated research question.

PROFICIENT

Describes quantitative data collection tools or strategies that are appropriate for answering a research question.

DISTINGUISHED

Describes quantitative data collection tools or strategies that are appropriate for answering a research question and offers a brief rationale for why the data collection tools or strategies are appropriate.

PROFICIENT

Explains the importance of methodologically relevant data collection to a research plan as a whole.

DISTINGUISHED

Explains the importance of targeted data collection to a research plan as a whole. Notes areas related to a research question where targeted data collection will be valuable or potentially challenging.

The methodology of the data collection as related to the research plan was partially completed but needed to be referenced directly from the quantitative study.
