Here are some issues with the objectives and research questions:
- The objectives are not specific enough and focus more on methods rather than the purpose of the research.
- The questions make assumptions that community beliefs are "wrong" rather than trying to understand perspectives.
- Questions 1.1 and 1.2 for the formative research objective are too leading and specific rather than open-ended to understand barriers.
- Objective 2 aims to "prove" effectiveness rather than objectively measure impact, and the questions only measure outcomes rather than factors influencing them.
The objectives and questions should be more open-ended, focus on understanding rather than proving assumptions, and aim to inform program improvement rather than prove effectiveness.

Write a
research
proposal
HOW TO...
Valerie Finigan
covers all aspects
of what a research
proposal needs to
include and where to
begin when writing it.
Writing a research proposal may be the most challenging part of the research
process – the document must
systematically recommend how
your study will be conducted
(Hollins-Martin and Flemming,
2010). It is the key to gaining ethical
approval, grant application success
and academic qualifi cation.
Yet the question is often asked:
‘What will a research proposal
contain and what should it look like?’
First of all, it is important that you
are passionate about the research
topic, have a vested interest in it, and
that it will add to the profession’s
body of scientifi c knowledge.
Discuss your idea with an
experienced researcher too, prior
to starting your proposal.
Th e proposals must be succinctly
written and clearly chronicle facts,
it must craft a convincing line of
reasoning and an argument for study
approval (Marshall, 2012).
Ask the questions:
1. What is the research about?
2. Why is it important?
3. What is the process that will be
taken to accomplish project goals
and objectives?
4. What will the project cost?
5. Who is the best person to conduct
this study? (Marshall, 2012).
Simple steps to follow:
1 Read the criteria for your proposal
If a format for writing is
given, use it. Check grammar, word
count and remember format and
brevity are important (12-point font,
legible and with a generous margin
will make the proposal easier to
read and comment on) to keep the
reviewer more engaged. Find a peer
or colleague to proofread the proposal
before submission, they may fi nd a
fl aw that you have overlooked. Submit
on time, or the work may be declined.
2 Underpin the study with a
research question
Th is enables you to choose the title
and design for your project and
identify the appropriate methodology
to answer the question of interest.
While the idea of the subject may be
in your mind, the question must be
focused and manageable to enable you
a purposeful and planned approach.
Th e title you choose for the
study should be used consistently
throughout all regulatory documents
(ethical approval consideration,
proposal and any grant applications).
Th e title needs to draw the attention
of the reviewer, so make it succinct
and exciting.

Week 6 Class Assessment: Implementation Plan for an HRD Learning Intervention
Referencing the work that you did in Week 5 for the Needs Assessment and HRD Design
Assignments, think about the implementation/delivery/facilitation approaches that you included
in your lesson plan. Implementation is not covered until this week, but often when people are
preparing a lesson plan, they include implementation methods. If you did not include
implementation in your Week 5 work, no problem, you can add that information in now. You
will state how you plan to carry out the actual HRD Learning Intervention. This might include
information like, specific location, how each session of the program/intervention will be
delivered (in-person, video, specific activities, resources needed, etc.). Once you add this
information or if you included much of this information in your Week 5 assignment, move to the
next step.
Expand the Week 5 lesson plan by one column labeled Implementation Reasoning. In the cell
next to each activity outlined in the lesson plan, label the implementation approach you choose
and briefly explain why this approach works well for this activity or if you should consider an
alternative approach.
At the end, provide a paragraph regarding any pandemic-related influences on your
implementation choices and how HRD implementation will be regarded in the future to obtain
maximum effectiveness of HRD in your industry.
Week 5 Content(1)- Needs Assessment
Introduction
Needs assessment is the process of identifying and articulating an organization's human resource
development (HRD) needs. Needs assessment helps identify an organization's goals, reveals gaps
between employee's skills and skills needed for effective job performance, identifies gaps
between current skills and ones needed for future job performance and reveals the conditions
under which the HRD activity will occur. Based on the video clips from the movie Office Space
and the job description for a data analyst at Initech, I have conducted an HRD-focused needs
assessment for the organization. The assessment includes findings for organizational, task, and
person level needs.
Organizational level:
1. Lack of effective communication: In the video clip "Did You Get the Memo?", it is evident
that there is a lack of clear communication within the organization. The memo about TPS reports
seems to be poorly distributed, leading to confusion among employees.
2. Motivation problems: The video clip "Motivation Problems" highlights the demotivated work
environment at Initech. Employees seem disengaged and uninterested in their tasks, which may
indicate a lack of motivation and job satisfaction.
Task level:
1. Data analysis responsibilities: As per the job description for a data analyst, one of the key
responsibilities is to analyze large datasets and extract meaningful insights. This suggests that
data analysts at Initech play a crucial role in supporting decision-making processes through data
analysis.

Evaluation tips and tools from 40+ Technology Enhance Learning projects
From a webinar on evaluation of elearning initiatives and projects. Delivered as part of ocTEL (open course in Technology Enhanced Learning).
Optimize Project Intake Approval and Prioritization
Your Challenge
Companies are approving more projects than they can deliver. Most organizations say they have too many projects on the go and an unmanageable and ever-growing backlog of things to get to.
While organizations want to achieve a high throughput of approved projects, many are unable or unwilling to allocate an appropriate level of IT resourcing to adequately match the number of approved initiatives.
Portfolio management practices must find a way to accommodate stakeholder needs without sacrificing the portfolio to low-value initiatives that do not align with business goals.
Our Advice
Critical Insight
Failure to align projects with strategic goals and resource capacity are the most common causes of portfolio waste across organizations. Intake, approval, and prioritization represent the best opportunities to ensure this alignment.
More time spent with stakeholders during the ideation phase to help set realistic expectations for stakeholders and enhance visibility into IT’s capacity and processes is key to both project and organizational success.
Too much intake red tape will lead to an underground economy of projects that escape portfolio oversight, while too little intake formality will lead to a wild west of approvals that could overwhelm the PMO. Finding the right balance of intake formality for your organization is the key to establishing a PMO that has the ability to focus on the right things.
Impact and Result
Eliminate off-the-grid initiatives by establishing a centralized intake process that funnels requests into a single channel.
Improve the throughput of projects through the portfolio by incorporating the constraint of resource capacity to cap the amount of project approvals to that which is realistic.
Silence squeaky wheels and overbearing stakeholders by establishing a progressive approval and prioritization process that gives primacy to the highest value requests.

Week 5 Content(1)- Needs Assessment
Introduction
Needs assessment is the process of identifying and articulating an organization's human resource
development (HRD) needs. Needs assessment helps identify an organization's goals, reveals gaps
between employee's skills and skills needed for effective job performance, identifies gaps
between current skills and ones needed for future job performance and reveals the conditions
under which the HRD activity will occur. Based on the video clips from the movie Office Space
and the job description for a data analyst at Initech, I have conducted an HRD-focused needs
assessment for the organization. The assessment includes findings for organizational, task, and
person level needs.
Organizational level:
1. Lack of effective communication: In the video clip "Did You Get the Memo?", it is evident
that there is a lack of clear communication within the organization. The memo about TPS reports
seems to be poorly distributed, leading to confusion among employees.
2. Motivation problems: The video clip "Motivation Problems" highlights the demotivated work
environment at Initech. Employees seem disengaged and uninterested in their tasks, which may
indicate a lack of motivation and job satisfaction.
Task level:
1. Data analysis responsibilities: As per the job description for a data analyst, one of the key
responsibilities is to analyze large datasets and extract meaningful insights. This suggests that
data analysts at Initech play a crucial role in supporting decision-making processes through data
analysis.

Optimize Project Intake Approval and Prioritization
Your Challenge
Companies are approving more projects than they can deliver. Most organizations say they have too many projects on the go and an unmanageable and ever-growing backlog of things to get to.
While organizations want to achieve a high throughput of approved projects, many are unable or unwilling to allocate an appropriate level of IT resourcing to adequately match the number of approved initiatives.
Portfolio management practices must find a way to accommodate stakeholder needs without sacrificing the portfolio to low-value initiatives that do not align with business goals.
Our Advice
Critical Insight
Failure to align projects with strategic goals and resource capacity are the most common causes of portfolio waste across organizations. Intake, approval, and prioritization represent the best opportunities to ensure this alignment.
More time spent with stakeholders during the ideation phase to help set realistic expectations for stakeholders and enhance visibility into IT’s capacity and processes is key to both project and organizational success.
Too much intake red tape will lead to an underground economy of projects that escape portfolio oversight, while too little intake formality will lead to a wild west of approvals that could overwhelm the PMO. Finding the right balance of intake formality for your organization is the key to establishing a PMO that has the ability to focus on the right things.
Impact and Result
Eliminate off-the-grid initiatives by establishing a centralized intake process that funnels requests into a single channel.
Improve the throughput of projects through the portfolio by incorporating the constraint of resource capacity to cap the amount of project approvals to that which is realistic.
Silence squeaky wheels and overbearing stakeholders by establishing a progressive approval and prioritization process that gives primacy to the highest value requests.
