Please use the following outline to shape your research proposal. This proposal is limited to two pages (single spaced). The summary table can be a separate (third page) if necessary. The purpose of this document is to allow the reader to see how your topic fits into a broader context, how your questions stem from a problem, and how you will answer your questions through research methods and analysis.
General introduction and overview of the topic
Place the project within a broader context and provide the reader with some idea of why it is important. The introduction moves the idea from “this is an interesting topic” to “this is worthy of research.” There should be citations within your introduction to support the discussion. All this information leads the reader to see there is a problem. This is building the case for the study. Comment by Author: Imagine the dissertation as a funnel. The discussion begins wide and narrows from the broad context, to a problem area, to a specific question.
Research questions
Research questions should be specific enough so the reader can understand the variables of interest and it will allude to the analysis that will answer the question. Some examples of writing research questions can be found here: https://www.scribbr.com/dissertation-writing-roadmap/research-question-examples/
Procedures and Methodology
Research methodology defines the research methods and logic steps – What to do and how to solve the problem and achieve proposed objectives? Which research methods (e.g. survey, modeling, case study …) will be used? Comment by Author: A new way of looking at things might by through using an existing survey applied to a new population. For example, a leadership survey used with student athletes. Another way of contributing is to look at an “old” topic in a new way, by developing a new survey, some other data collection that would be new. For example, if a topic has primarily been analysed quantitatively, could it be looked at qualitatively to add a dimension. Comment by Author: If using a survey, make sure to describe the nature of the questions. For example, say “Teachers will respond using a scale of 1-5 on the frequency of use of specific assessment practices.” This will tell the reader if the analysis makes sense (scale, interval, or nominal data).
a. Research Paradigm (qualitative or quantitative)
b. Research Design Comment by Author: For more information on research design see http://www.socialresearchmethods.net/kb/design.php
c. Sampling Procedures and or/Data Collection Sources (make sure to reference Informed Consent and IRB approval placed in Appendices). Please provide detailed information about your data. For example, if a survey, what kinds of questions and how will people answer the survey (scale, yes/no, open ended), will your data be at the individual level or in aggregate? Interview questions planned? How will the survey be distributed? Inclusion criteria for sample? Justification for distribution method? Comment by Author: For more information on sampling see https://www.simplypsychology.org/sampling.html
d. Statistical Tests
*Notes: For IRB you will have to provide the consent form, recruiting materials, surveys, interview guides, etc.

Research summary
Questions Methods Results Conclusions
Your questions determine your approach to data collection. Your method (type of data, sampling, analysis, etc.) impacts the quality of your results. The results influence what you can say about the study. They are all connected and if there is a break in the chain, the end will be a poor study.

Analysis Comment by Author: Is your question related to “differences”? What statistics measure “differences”? Is you question related to “relationships”? What statistics measure “relationships”? |
What “conclusion” do you hope to make? Comment by Author: Think about what you really want to answer in layman terms. This will help you determine if the statistics you select will answer your research question. |

EXAMPLE What is the relationship between teacher use of formative assessment practices and student achievement based on grade level? |
Teacher survey: Self-reported use of assessment practices using a Likert-type scale to measure frequency of use. Student achievement will be reported in aggregate at the classroom level. |
Two-way ANOVA because there are two IVs
|
There is a relationship between the use of formative assessments and how students perform in different grade levels. |
