1 HOW TO LAY OUT A RESEARCH PROPOSAL Title Page: Title Name of student and student number Name of Supervisor Course University Date of submission Table of Contents List of appendices Acknowledgements Abstract (100 - 150 words) The abstract must communicate the essential parts of the research proposal and should follow the same order as the proposal. It must convince the reader that the study is interesting and important Chapter 1: Literature review (2100 words) This section should include an Introduction and short justification for the proposed research study. The literature review must show evidence of wide reading and analysis, synthesis and evaluation of research findings Chapter 2: Methodology (3300 words) Design Design refers to how your research study will be conducted and the reasons for your choice of study methodology. You must label the methodology that you will employ e.g. quantitative – correlational or qualitative – phenomenological. This methodology must be justified from the research literature. Enough detail must be presented so that the reader can determine the adequacy of the methods. However, it is important to remember that your proposal is not a theory paper on research methods. Your proposed study must be central to the discussion with the research literature offering support to your proposed choice. Population / Sample You will need to provide details of your choice of sampling technique and sample size, as well as details about the participants (i.e. age, gender, religion, medical conditions, employed, etc). Inclusion and exclusion criteria must be stated along with the rationale for these decisions. Methods of data collection Any materials used in the study should be described in sufficient detail. This must also indicate how the data will be collected and where possible offer samples of the data tools as an appendix (i.e. questionnaires, interview schedules, and participant consent letters). Information on how, where and when the data is to be collected must be given. Robustness of data collection methods 2 You will need to identify the issues regarding the reliability and validity of any measurement tools to be employed. Similarly, for those undertaking a qualitative study identify the robustness of the study (consistency, truthfulness and transferability). Data analysis Discuss the methods of analysis. If quantitative data is to be collected and analysed you must indicate the specific statistical tests to be utilised and the statistical package that will be used (i.e. SPSS Version 11). If qualitative, you must provide clear guidelines as to how the data will be analysed, identifying the model of analysis that you will utilise (This section must also address the issue of data management, data protection, etc. Pilot study Explain the purpose of a pilot study and give details of your proposed .

Running head: QUANTITATIVE DESIGNS 1 Quantitative Designs Student Name Here Walden University Quantitative Designs Provide a brief introduction to your paper here. The title serves as your introductory heading no need for a heading titled “Introduction.” Two Designs Select two peer reviewed journal articles that utilized different types of quantitative research designs. Briefly describe each of the designs that you selected. Remember to focus on how the research was done not what was studied. Always provide credit for your sources. Sampling Include the types of sampling used in each study to conduct the chosen research methods. Sampling is “how” the researchers recruited participants. What type of sampling method was used? Where and how did the recruitment occur? Who needed to give permission? Comparison of Designs Similarities and Differences Explain two similarities and two differences between the designs you selected. Described the similarities and then discuss the differences. Strengths and Weaknesses Describe at least one strength and one limitation of each design. Clearly identify which design has what strength or weakness. Support your points. Comparison Insights Describe an insight or conclusion you can draw from the comparison. For example, how might you use the designs? What populations, interventions, or research problems might be better suited for one or the other design? Ethical, Legal and Socio-Cultural Considerations Explain any ethical, legal, and socio-cultural considerations that may be relevant for the designs you selected. Remember this section is ethical, legal, and sociocultural so you need to discuss all three. In addition, you need to support your points with scholarly support, such as the ethical code, laws, etc. Conclusion Your conclusion section should recap the major points you have made in your work. However, perhaps more importantly, you should interpret what you have written and what the bigger picture is. Remember your paper should be 2 - 3 pages not counting your title page and reference page. Please do not exceed three pages of content. Save your Application as a ".doc" or ".rtf" file with the filename APP4+your first initial+last name. For example, Sally Ride’s assignment filename would be "APP4SRide". Use the "Submit an Assignment" link, choose the Week 4: Application basket, and then add your Application as an attachment. References Always include references. Be sure every reference is in APA format with a hanging indent. Also, every citation should have a reference and vice versa. Use the APA manual, the Citation Guide or some source to verify your format. APA is very specific about punctuation and how elements of the reference are presented.

Research ProposalThe written research proposal will be created b.docx

mackulaytoni

Research Proposal The written research proposal will be created based on a narrowly defined aspect of the topic selected in Week One. A research proposal is a detailed plan for a specific study to be conducted at a future time. It is the document which potential researchers typically submit to an institutional review board (IRB) for ethical review and approval, and/or to funding agencies to secure financial support for a research effort. Because it is a plan for research which has not yet been conducted, the Methods section should be written in the future tense and should not contain any hypothetical results. The paper must address all of the components required in the Methods section of a research proposal. The following actions must be completed. State the research question and/or hypothesis. Briefly compare the characteristics of the major research paradigms used in previous studies on the chosen topic. Introduce the specific approach (qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods), research design, sampling strategy, data collection procedures, and data analysis techniques to be used in this study. Provide a short explanation as to why the selected procedures are more feasible than other alternatives for the research topic. Describe any relevant variables, measures, and statistical tests. Apply ethical principles and professional standards to the proposed psychological research. Provide an analysis of any ethical issues that may arise and explain how these issues will be resolved. The following headings for the required sections and subsections must appear in the paper. In accordance with APA style, all references listed must be cited in the text of the paper. Introduction Introduce the research topic, explain why it is important, and present an appropriately and narrowly defined research question and/or hypothesis. Literature Review Evaluate the published research on the chosen topic including a minimum of three peer-reviewed articles. Summarize the current state of knowledge on the topic, making reference to the findings of previous research studies. Briefly mention the research methods that have previously been used to study the topic. State whether the proposed study is a replication of a previous study or a new approach employing methods that have not been used before. Be sure to properly cite all sources in APA style. Methods Design – Create a feasible research design that incorporates appropriate methods to address the topic. Indicate whether the approach of the proposed study is qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods. Identify the specific research design, and indicate whether it is experimental or non-experimental.

mariuse18nolet

Introduction Typically, a review of the literature is extensive as it should address all known aspects of a problem and describe how the problem has been studied in the past. For example, What variables and questions related to the problem have already been studied and how does that to relate to the question being posed in the study you are proposing? Are the previous study findings applicable to today’s practice? Who were the subjects in these other studies and how do they compare with your proposed subjects? What research design, theoretical framework, data collection tool(s), statistics, etc., were used; and how do they compare to what you are proposing? A good review of the literature lays down the proverbial breadcrumbs for future researchers to follow the rationale for how we arrived here from there . Sometimes it means we state the obvious, and other times it means we identify conflicting outcomes, outdated paradigms, gaps in practices, statistical test results to questions similar to ours, or suggest questions for future research. This assignment will give you a good understanding of how to compile the research findings needed for writing financial reports, grant applications/reports, business plans/Pro-forma, practice policies, processes, academic reports, clinical case studies, etc. NRAO Majors: The review you write for this assignment should be a good start for your scholarly project due in your final MSN course. You and your advisor will work together to complete this requirement. Upon successful completion of the Literature Review assignment you should be able to: Address an identified problem through a systematic synthesized review of the literature.
