Discussion 6

 I’m looking for 1 page total with only the Hypotheses and Research Questions for each of the 10 synopses.  If you have already done more than this, leave the good work you have and I’ll provide feedback on that also.  The goal of this assignment is to practice aligning your Research Questions and Hypothesis with the Methodological approach.  Creswell is a good source for this. 

As you review available literature on your topic, it is imperative to remember that you are most likely reading articles that summarize an underlying research study. Rarely does a journal print a researcher’s entire study, as to do so would consume hundreds of pages. In fact, what you are reading is a really an abridged version of the study; therefore, you must frequently “fill-in-the blanks.” Many times, foundational study elements like the research problem, study purpose, research questions, and hypotheses are combined to save space or re-worded to improve readability and interest. As a way to practice deductive reasoning and dissertation writing skills review the articles Racial Incidents at the University of Missouri: The Value of Leadership Communication and Stakeholder Relationships by Fortuanato, Gigliotti and Ruben, and Authentic Leadership and Its Relationship to Ministerial Effectiveness by Puls, Ludden and Freemyer. For your post,

1. draft a likely purpose statement for each article,
2. draft possible research question(s) (if the study is qualitative) or research question(s) and hypotheses (if the study is quantitative), and
3. provide a brief explanation for your drafted purpose statement and research questions or research questions and hypotheses information found in the articles, the course materials, as well as the DBA Rubric and DBA template. (hint: review the format used in the “scripts” found in the Creswell book, but remember Concordia’s DBA program has different/additional requirements you will need to provide for your post)
