Developing a research proposal is a good way to experience research aspects firsthand without conducting an actual research study.
In this assignment, you need to develop a research proposal. Your research proposal must be a 10–12-page document and include the following sections:
The Methodology section will be based on either of the two major research designs, quantitative and qualitative.
Create the Introduction section of the research proposal. Include the following:
You will develop the Literature Review section. Use the following guidelines:
You will be creating the Methodology section of your research proposal. In this section, you will review the research methodologies used in research. To gain a better understanding of the methods used, review the methodology sections of the articles you found for your literature review.
Include in your work:
You should then be working on the development of the introduction section of your research proposal.
Next is the Discussion and Conclusion section of your research proposal. In a proposal such as this, what you will also need to include are your expected results. The expected results are based on a number of factors including what you learned from your literature review on similar research as well as what you learned from your course readings thus far.
The difference between a great research paper and a marginal one is the depth and originality of the discussion and conclusions section. The discussion/conclusion section is where you bring together what you learned from the literature review (as well as through the course) in your concluding remarks regarding your topic.
Make sure your research proposal adheres to the following structure:
In addition, these sections should include the following information:
Abstract: An abstract is a summary of the paper. Review the abstracts of the articles used in your literature review for examples of detailed abstracts.
Literature Review: The literature review is not a copy of that material. Rather, it is a synthesis of the material you found into a cohesive review of the literature on your chosen topic. Make sure to include all the articles that you used for your literature review.
References: In this section, you should include all of the articles you collected for the literature review. In addition, take care to cite all the references in the APA format.
