FinalPaper: Research Proposal

Review the Example Research Proposal provided in the course materials.

Design a research study on the topic of the study selected in Week One

and critiqued in Week Three. Your design should seek to resolve the

limitations you identified in the study you critiqued. Your paper must

address all of the components required in the “Methods” section of a

research proposal:

State the research question and/or hypothesis.

Specify the approach (qualitative or quantitative), research design,

sampling strategy, data collection procedures, and data analysis

techniques to be used.

If the design is quantitative, also describe the variables, measures, and

statistical tests you would use.

Analyze ethical issues that may arise and explain how you would handle

these issues.

Your Final Paper must be six to eight pages in length (excluding title

and reference pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in

the Ashford Writing Center. Utilize a minimum of six peer-reviewed

sources that were published within the last 10 years, in addition to the

textbook, that are documented in APA style as outlined in the Ashford

Writing Center. The sources should consist of the following:

One source should be the article you critiqued in the Week Three

assignment.

At least two sources should be about the research methodology you have

chosen for your study.

At least one source should be on ethical issues in research.

The remaining sources may be about anything pertinent to your study.

In accordance with APA style, all references listed must be cited in the

body of the paper.

Required Sections and Subsections (use these headings in your paper)

Introduction – Introduce the research topic, explain why it is important,

and present your research question and/or hypothesis.

Literature Review – Summarize the current state of knowledge on your

topic, making reference to the findings of previous research studies

(including the one you critiqued in Week Three). Briefly analyze and

critique these studies and mention the research methods that have

previously been used to study the topic. State whether your proposed

study is a replication of a previous study or a new approach using

methods that have not been used before. Be sure to properly cite all of

your sources in APA style.

Methods

Design – Indicate whether your proposed study is qualitative or

quantitative in approach. Identify the specific research design, using

one of the designs we have studied in Weeks Three through Five, and

indicate whether it is experimental or non-experimental. Evaluate your

chosen design and explain why you believe this design is appropriate for

the topic and how it will provide the information you need to answer the

research question. Cite sources on research methodology to support your

choices.

Participants – Identify and describe the sampling strategy you would use

to recruit participants for your study. Estimate the number of

participants you would need and explain why your sampling method is

appropriate for your research design and approach.

Procedure/Measures – Apply the scientific method by describing the steps

you would use in carrying out your study. Indicate whether you will use

any kind of test, questionnaire, or measurement instrument. If using an

existing published instrument, provide a brief description and cite your

source. If you are creating a questionnaire, survey, or test, describe

the types of information you will gather and explain how you would

establish the validity and reliability. If you are not using such an

instrument, describe how you would collect the data.

Data Analysis – Describe the statistical techniques (if quantitative) or

the analysis procedure (if qualitative) you plan to use to analyze the

data. Cite at least one source on the chosen analysis technique (from

your Week Two assignment).

Ethical Issues – Analyze the impact of ethical concerns on your proposed

study, such as confidentiality, deception, informed consent, potential

harm to participants, conflict of interest, IRB approval, etc. After

analyzing the ethical issues that apply to your research proposal,

indicate what you would do to handle these concerns.

Conclusion – Briefly summarize the major points from your paper and

reiterate why your proposed study is needed.
