Research ProposalThe written research proposal will be created b.docxmackulaytoni
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. Evaluate the chosen design and explain why this design is feasible and appropriate for the topic and how it will provide the information needed to answer the research question. Cite sources on research methodology to support these choices. Include a minimum of two peer-reviewed sources.

65. Elements of a High-Quality Research Proposal
1.Relevance. The research topic is relevant to the present issues
or concerns. Always scan the current educational discourse and
landscape. Identify the current issues in education (conceptual,
theoretical and practice) both nationally and internally. Although
your aim is not to solve a global issue/s, it is necessary that your
research proposal is aligned to the existing issues or concerns.
1. Potential Contribution. It must address the existing gap in
the literature by either contributing a new or extending the
existing knowledge, concept, theorization or model (or improving
practice). This must be well-articulated in the research proposal.
There is no point of conducting a research that will duplicate only
theexisting studies.
66. Elements of a High-Quality Research Proposal
3.Feasible. Assessing the feasibility of your research proposal includes the
criteria for your capability, time and resources. Make sure you are writing a
research proposal that is within your area of specialization or something that
interests you. Also, consider the scope of your study. It should be manageable
within a given time frame and your work load. Further, consider your access to
resources including participants, data, software and among others.
3.Delimited. A high-quality research proposal clearly articulates the
parameter of the study. It should set realistic scope with a clear focus or topic
area.
3.Follows Ethical Standards. The research proposals clearly identify
potential ethical and legal issues that may arise in the study. Issues on privacy,
anonymity, potential risk (both physical and emotional) should be
acknowledged and risk assessment and mitigation procedures should be clearly
indicated.
67. Workshop #1:
Problem Identification
Key Question:
� Identify the specific research problem you wish to
investigate (e.g. problem on reading comprehension or
writing skills, academic performance of a certain Grade
level in Science, low performance on triangle similarity,
etc.
68. Workshop #2:
Formulating the Research Questions
Key Questions:
� What specific research questions do you wish to
pursue?
e.g. What is the level of reading comprehension of Grade 3
leaners before and after the implementation of Brigada
Pagbasa?
� Do you have a hypothesis in mind? If so, were you able
to express it?
� Do you intend to investigate a relationship? If so, have
you indicated the variables you think maybe are
related? (e.g. Null hypothesis There is no…. )
e.g. Is there a significant difference on the reading
comprehension of Grade 3 leaners before and after the
implementation of Brigada Pagbasa?
GENERAL PROBLEM STATEMENT
� declarative form, usually statement start with:
The study generally aims to determine
/analyse / evaluate
� it is the restatement of the title
SPECIFIC PROBLEMS STATEMENT
� Numbered and in the interrogative form
� before the statement of the first specific
problem, an introductory sentence is required:
Specifically, the study will answer the following
questions:
� parameters are also required if words used in
the question are too general. (e.g.
comprehension skills)
� minimum of two questions
69. Workshop #3:
Writing an Outline of Context and Rationale
Key Questions:
� What is the problem that I observed in my class? Why is it a problem? Do I have a data to support/
justify the problem
� What other international or local studies, articles and writings relate to the situation I wish to study? -
literature search

70. Workshop #4:
Conceptualize an Innovation/ Intervention/ Strategy
Key Questions:
� What do I intend to do about the problem?
� What teaching practices, methodologies, materials etc. have I used or implemented
in the past or have I read or heard? (literature search) Can this be improved/
innovated on to fit the situation in my school?
e.g. gamify the teaching process like use of scrabath (from the game scrabble)
� How do I plan to implement/ administer my intervention?
71. In-text citations
1. Follow the author-date method of in-text citation. This means that
the author's last name and the year of publication for the source
should appear in the text, and a complete reference should
appear in the reference list at the end of the paper.
2. When referring to an idea from another work but NOT directly
quoting the material, or making reference to an entire book,
article or other work, make reference to the author and year of
publication in the in-text reference.
Examples: Jones (1998) compared student performance ...
In a recent study of student performance (Jones,
1998), ...
In 1998, Jones compared student performance...
75. Spacing
�The APA Format and Style observes
double space throughout the text.
�Space once after colon, comma,
semicolon, after periods that separate
parts of reference citations, after periods
of the initials of personal names.
76. Displaying Data/ Results in tables
� When presenting tables, vertical gridlines should be
removed. Likewise only the horizontal gridlines within the
table headers and footers should be included. Example is
shown below.
77. In-text citations
3. When paraphrasing an idea from another work, make
reference to the author and year of publication in the in-text
reference. When directly quoting from a work, include the
author, year of publication, and the page number for the
reference.
4. If there is no author to cite, such as when citing a webpage
that lists no author, use an abbreviated version of the title of
the page in quotation marks to substitute for the name of the
author.
Example: A similar study was done of students learning to format
research papers ("Using APA," 2001).
78. In-text citations
5. When citing a work that has no author and no date, use the first few
words from the title, then the abbreviation n.d.(for "no date")
Example: Summarized by LEO DACUMOS, SDO Baguio City In another study
of students and research decisions, it was discovered that students
succeeded with tutoring ("Tutoring and APA," n.d.).
5. Personal communications, such as e-mail messages, or private
interviews conducted with another person, should be referred to in the
in-text citations but NOT in the bibliography. To cite a personal
communication, provide initials and last name of the communicator, the
words personal communication, plus an exact date in the body of the
paper.
Example: P. Smith also claimed that many of her students had difficulties
with APA style (personal communication, November 3, 2002).
79. Formatting Citations in the Text
Basic rules in formatting citations in the body of the paper.
1. Always capitalize proper nouns, including author names.
2. When referring to the title of a source within the paper, capitalize
all words that are four letters long or greater within the title of a
source.
3. When capitalizing titles, capitalize both words in a hyphenated
compound word. After a colon or dash in a title, capitalize the first
word. Italicize the titles of longer works such as books, edited
collections, movies, documentaries, or albums.
4. Put quotation marks around the titles of shorter works such as
journal articles, articles from edited collections, television shows,
and song titles.
80. Formatting Citations in the Text
5. When a work has two authors, cite both names every
time the reference appears in the text. Join the authors'
names with the word and. When a work has three, cite
all of the authors the first time you refer to the work in the
text. The next time you refer to the work, shorten the
citation to the last name of the first author plus the words
et al. Join the authors' names with the word and when
referring to them in the text; join the authors' names with
an ampersand (&) when referring to them in a
parenthetical citation. When a work has four authors (or
more), cite only the last name of the first author plus the
words et al. Refer to the following table:
82. Short Quotations (Direct Quotation)
1. To indicate quotations of fewer than 40 words in the text, enclose the
quotation within double quotation marks. Provide the author, year, and
specific page citation in the text, and include a complete reference in
the reference list. Punctuation marks, such as periods, commas, and
semicolons, should appear after the parenthetical citation. Question
marks and exclamation points should appear within the quotation marks if
they are a part of the quotation but after the parenthetical citation if they
are a part of the text.
Examples:
She stated, "Students often had difficulty using APA style,” (Jones,
1998, p. 199), but she did not offer an explanation as to why.
According to Jones (1998), "Students often had difficulty using APA
style, especially when it was their first time" (p. 199). Jones (1998) found
"students often had difficulty using APA style" (p. 199); what implications
does this have for teachers?
83. Short Quotations (Direct Quotation)
2. When citing a work that has no author, no date, and no
page numbers, use the first few words from the title, then
the abbreviation n.d. (for "no date"), and then use
paragraph numbers (if available) or simply leave out any
reference to pages. For
example:
In another study of students and research decisions, it
was discovered that students succeeded with tutoring
("Tutoring and APA," n.d.).
84. Long Quotations (block quotes)
Place quotations longer than 40 words in a free-standing block
of typewritten lines, and omit quotation marks. Start the
quotation on a new line, indented five spaces from the left
margin. Type the entire quotation on the new margin, and
indent the first line of any subsequent paragraph within the
quotation five spaces from the new margin. Maintain double-
spacing throughout. The parenthetical citation should come
after closing punctuation mark.
example:
Jones's 1993 study found the following:
Students often had difficulty using APA style,
especially when it was their first time citing sources.
This difficulty could be attributed to the fact
that many students failed to purchase a style
manual or to ask their teacher for help. (p. 199)
