All assertions and key discussion points are properly cited using APA format. In other

background reading or other sources will be cited. References are in APA format please provide

bullets, and tables unless the tables are specified in the instructions), double spaced, no extra

Requested format below:
Chapter 1: Introduction
[In this opening paragraph or two of narrative, present your topic (main idea) and the
context in which you are approaching the topic. Each assertion in this chapter and subsequent
chapters must be supported with recent, scholarly, peer-reviewed sources. Toward the end of this
section introduce the area of overarching theory within which you are addressing the topic. Don’t
explicitly state your problem, purpose, or methodology as they are discussed and belong in
subsequent sections.]
Background
[Present a clear overview of why the research topic is currently of interest. This section is
the bridge to the problem statement. Go deeper into the topic and related theory. Describe what
research has been done in this area and why the topic is important practically (applied),
empirically, and theoretically. What is needed is a concise presentation of the practical issues
you are concerned with and related to existing research and theory. Tie the study topic clearly to
your field and concentration (if applicable). There should be a clear progression of thought
leading up to the gap in existing theory so that there is a solid transition to the problem
statement.]
Problem Statement
[This does not have to be long, but it does have to be complete. Clearly present the gap
(in theory or literature) your research addresses and how you identified that gap (it is not enough
to say it has not been studied). Your discussion needs enough detail to develop your research
questions, and should provide evidence that the problem is current, relevant, and important.
Clearly present how addressing the gap (in theory or literature) your research addresses is
significant. What is the contribution the study makes to the body of knowledge/why is this
research important? Articulate the negative consequences of not conducting the study. Within
this section be explicit and state “The problem to be addressed by this study is…”]
Purpose Statement
[Concisely present the purpose of the study. In the problem statement you identified the
gap. In the purpose statement discuss how you plan to fill that gap (what the study about). The
study’s purpose and aims should stem clearly from the problem statement and knowledge gap.
You should include the methodology and design you plan to use as an identification of the
population/organization type/audience.]
Conceptual or Theoretical Framework
[Your conceptual or theoretical framework is based on your review of the literature and is
clearly linked to your purpose statement. In chapter 1 you introduce this framework as the
foundation of your study. You will go into much more depth on this in chapter 2. Questions to
consider include: How does your study address a gap in the literature/research? What constructs
(or variables) does your study attempt to explore or examine? Situate your study within other
theory and research. Summarize why your study and the selected methodology addresses the
phenomena or variables under study.]
Research Question(s)
[Begin with a general, overarching research question that speaks to the main purpose of
the study. The follow this with numbered research questions that are clear, articulated, and
specific, corresponding exactly to the study purpose. Be sure each is answerable and/or testable
within the timeframe and location of your study. Be thought-provoking and open-ended (cannot
be answered yes or no or in one word or phrase). Refer to the main constructs and relationships
to be investigated in the study.]
RQ1. [Text of first research question here.]
RQ2. [Text of second research question here, if applicable.]
RQ3. [Text of third research question here, if applicable.]
Definition of Key Terms
[Identifies the key terms used in the study and provides clear definitions as used in the
literature and for the purposes of the study. At a minimum define each of your variables. The key
terms should be in alphabetical order, and each should include a citation. Present each in
paragraph form with the term itself listed first in italics followed by a period. Then begin the
definition. An example follows:
Precipitation. Rain, snow, sleet, or hail that falls from above and hits the ground (Smith,
2023; Turner, 2022).]
Summary
[Summarize relevant and significant points of the chapter. Provide a scholarly transition
to the next chapter.]
