Description
Consider a potential quantitative research problem you might choose for your Signature Assignment involving a fictitious research proposal. This topic can be one you have examined in previous courses or one you have recently become interested in exploring further for your capstone project or dissertation research study.
Consider the general problems or issues currently existing within your professional area of interest in education. Remember that at the graduate-level, a problem from practice must also be situated within the peer-reviewed scholarly literature. As you continue to explore and learn more about your identified problems or issues of research interest, you will be able to more naturally narrow your research topic to one you will truly find interest and inspiration to research.
Once you have identified a fairly broad yet well-supported research problem, determine the three best peer-reviewed quantitative research articles using the Northcentral Library that have noted this problem. (Note. Ensure the articles incorporated a quantitative research design and not a meta-analysis or critical review of previously conducted quantitative research findings.)
For each article, discuss the following elements:
- Identify the research problem of inquiry.
- Explain the purpose or intent of the research.
- Summarize the research questions(s) or areas of inquiry.
- Identify the specific quantitative design utilized.
- Describe the sample/participants and target population.
- Summarize how the ethical treatment of the human subjects was ensured.
- Explain the quantitative data collection method.
- Explain the quantitative data analysis method.
- Describe how the proper design identification and implementation to ensure validity in the results was supported.
- Briefly reflect on the overall strengths and weaknesses of the reviewed qualitative research.
Support your assignment with the three articles reviewed and other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles, may be included.
Length: 5 pages, not including title and reference pages reference no older than 5 years old.
Your assignment should demonstrate your understanding of the alignment of the quantitative method, the specific quantitative design choice, and the research problem identified as well as new thoughts and insights relating directly to the problem and a quantitative research design. Your response should also reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards.

TECHNOLOGY AND ITS EFFECT IN HIGHER EDUCATION

Introduction
The current achievement in higher education globally is being associated with the
advancement of technology. Technology has increased the capacity of most universities through
the introduction of e-learning (distant learning) where the students do not appear physically in
class. However, there are numerous negative impacts of this technology on higher education since
it has promoted cheating, laziness, incompetence, lack of concentration, disruptions, time wasting,
poor performance, etc.

Achievement and Cognitive Load—A Format... Educational Technology & Society,
17(1), 332 - 344.
The research problem of inquiry
The research problem of inquiry was a decline in the performance of the students who are
in mobile learning sessions. This decline is associated with due to the heavy cognitive load caused
by an improper learning design.
Purpose or intent of the research
The objective of this research was to identify the negative impact of e-learning (mobile
learning) on the performance of the students. An in-field activity on an indigenous culture course
of an elementary school with a formative assessment-based learning technique was carried out to
find out the probable negative impacts of mobile learning by analyzing the students' cognitive load
& learning achievement.

The research question(s) or areas of inquiry
The areas of, in this case, was the performance of the students who enroll in e-learning
programs. What are the potential negative impacts of e-learning on the students' learning
achievements and cognitive load?
