Description Rubric Standard | Grounded > Is the problem framed to enable the researcher to either build upon or counter the previously published findings on the topic? For most fields, grounding involves articulating the problem within the context of a theoretical base or conceptual framework. Although many approaches can ground a study in the scientific literature, the essential requirement is that the problem is framed such that the new findings will have implications for the previous findings. Research Question(s) and Hypotheses (if applicable) List the question that will be used to address the research problem. Your question must align with your study purpose and include the variables and/or concepts and how they will be examined and/or explored. Replace this text with your research question(s) and hypotheses (if applicable).
