Assignment: Develop a Data Collection Plan

For this assignment, develop an initial data collection plan to answer your research question. Complete the following steps:

Write a one-sentence purpose statement that defines the type of methodology and variables described in the research problem. Where the problem statement is backward-looking (defined by how you currently know a problem exists), the problem statement is forward-looking (tells the reader how you will address the problem).

Operationally define any variables that might be ambiguous and ensure the reader understands exactly what the variable is and how it will be measured.

Articulate the procedure you would use to collect data to answer the research problem. Cover who, what, why, where, and when-and be precise so others could carry out your prospective design if you were not present.

Your plan should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards.
