Assignment: Design a Research Survey Tool that Utilizes a Quantitative Design
Instructions
In this assignment you will demonstrate the knowledge and skills that you developed throughout this course to complete the Signature Assignment in which you will describe the development and evaluation of an instrument.
Your Assignment requires you to design a research survey tool that utilizes a quantitative design, and then you will discuss its merits.
You will utilize the knowledge and skills that you developed throughout this course to describe the development and evaluation of a quantitative survey instrument. This will include describing: 1) steps to develop the instrument; 2) the construct under examination; 3) the participants; 4) procedures assessing reliability and validity; 5) avoiding bias and ensuring ethical guidelines are followed; 6) what type of analysis you would use; 7) what results would be likely; and 8) evaluating the properties of the instrument.
Be sure your Signature Assignment will include the following parts:
1. Introduction (3 pages)
a. Describe the construct under examination. Explain why it is important to examine it and the consequences of not doing so. Include a minimum of three citations to relevant scholarly sources.
2. Method (2-3 pages)
a. Describe the participants, instrument, and procedure used to construct the instrument.
3. Steps (2-3 pages)
a. Assume a factor analysis has been completed and the instrument has been developed, assess the reliability and validity. Discuss the steps that you should take to assess the reliability and validity of the instrument.
b. Describe the steps that should be taken to avoid bias.
c. Describe the steps that should be taken to ensure that ethical guidelines are followed.
4. Issues (1-2 pages)
a. Describe administration issues that you must overcome.
5. Results (3 pages)
a. Describe the types of analysis you would use and suggest what results likely would be seen.
6. Discussion (2-3 pages)
a. Evaluate the properties of the instrument, how you would revise or improve it, and recommendations for further study of the instrument.
7. Reference List
a. Include at least 10 scholarly sources in your paper.
8. Appendix
a. Include the actual measure in the appendix of the paper.
b. Scholarly rationale for not including faculty feedback into your assignment (if applicable).
I got the following feedback from my instructor: “Excellent work on this assignment. You present a nice comparison of different survey tools, provide a topic to investigate with your survey instrument, and discuss issues related to your target population and data collection approaches. The survey looks good. Great work!”
Please the order Order_619807.doc

Note: In this assignment, you will integrate your faculty’s feedback from your Week 8 Assignment OR provide a scholarly rationale for why you did not integrate it on a separate sheet of paper to be included in the appendix of the Signature Assignment.
Length: 13-17 pages (not including reference list or appendix)
Your paper should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to the topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards.
