Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, review the articles by Barnham (2015), Quantitative and Qualitative Research: Perceptual Foundations, and Rutberg and Bouikidis (2018), Focusing on the Fundamentals: A Simplistic Differentiation Between Qualitative and Quantitative Research.
Additionally, review the Qualitative vs. Quantitative (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2X-QSU6-hPUQuantitative&feature=youtu.be) video and the How to Read a Scholarly Article
(https://content.bridgepointeducation.com/curriculum/file/048e028b-dffc-4c85-895b-207550b65a9e/1/How%20to%20Read%20a%20Scholarly%20Article.zip/story.html) interactivity.
Refer to the “College of Doctoral Studies APA Template,” found on the Introduction to APA (https://writingcenter.uagc.edu/introduction-apa) webpage, to help you correctly cite journal articles. It is also recommended that you review the video entitled Identifying and Finding Quantitative and Qualitative Research (https://content.bridgepointeducation.com/curriculum/file/14daa4fd-36a7-4b5f-b32b-e1a5fced55d9/1/Identifying%20and%20Finding%20Quantitative%20and%20Qualitative%20Research.zip/story.html).

In your initial discussion post that incorporates and cites information from at least two required or recommended resources,
Create a complete APA citation for three articles that report on quantitative research studies that address your research topic or research focus. Consider accessing the Writing Center’s Formatting Your References List (https://writingcenter.uagc.edu/format-your-reference-list) for more on completing a complete reference citation.
Append your three articles as a PDF downloadable attachment.
Identify the characteristics of each article that tell you the study is a quantitative research study, and not a qualitative research study, citing at least two required or recommended resources.
Discuss how these three studies are useful in helping you develop a better understanding of your topic of interest or your research focus, and what you learned from each study.
