Written Assignment 3: Draft of Chapter 3
For this assignment you are required to develop a Research Design Proposal, which after further work later in the course will become the third chapter of your final project, Chapter 3: Research Design and Methodology.
This chapter cannot be finalized until the actual research involved has been completed as part of your work in Modules 4 and 5. You will have to return to Chapter 3 in Module 6 and write a final draft before you submit the final capstone.
At this stage, you should be making an initial determination of the following you will use when producing your capstone paper:
After making an initial determination of which perspective, type and method are best suited for your purposes, you will start to develop your research design proposal, which is a specific plan for studying a research problem that has been identified.
Tips for Reporting on Methods of Data Collection
For Research and Applied Projects:
Picture someone reading your Capstone and preparing to replicate your exact study. This scholar wants to walk in your shoes and do EXACTLY what you did to collect data. The steps leading to the discovery of the answer to each sub question should be clearly enumerated. Each separate sub question must be described in its own way. Make the job of replication as easy as possible for the scholar who wishes to extend your research.
Development and Structure of Your Research Design Proposal
You will develop your research design proposal according to the outline given below.
Content from this research design proposal will represent the formation of Chapter 3, which you will write following the actual execution of the design.
Submit your research design proposal in the following format:
State your major and sub research questions that you are attempting to answer in your capstone project. Then identify your research design and how that design accommodates your purpose.
Organization and Analysis of Data: Explain how you will organize, then analyze the data leading to your project.
