  2. In 9-12 sentences address the prompts below:

    2. What theory was cited and used to guide the study?
    3. What were the research questions and/or hypotheses in the study?
    4. What method (e.g., focus group, interviews, experiment, survey, content analysis) was used to answer the research questions and/or test the hypotheses?
    5. What were the data analysis results: what were the answers to research questions and/or how were the hypotheses supported (or not)
    6. Write a sentence paraphrasing information from this source that could be used to explain prior research on your team’s topic using an APA in-text citation.
    7. Explain how you used AI (ChatGPT) to get the answers to these prompts.
