Assessment one: Research Proposal
Topic Drawing on the individual and group work undertaken throughout the tutorial programme, write a research proposaloutlining a study you would like to undertake in the topic area assigned to you at the beginning of the course. Aim of assessment
The overall aim of the assessment is to demonstrate your understanding of the philosophical, theoretical, methodological and practical issues discussed in this course, and your ability to apply this understanding to a particular research topic. The assessmentbuilds directly on the series of tutorial exercises on which you had worked,both individually and in your small groups, throughout the course. The proposal specifically requires you to consolidate all different elements of your intended research projects developed during the tutorials into one coherent and consistent document.
This assessment will be a useful exercise for students going on to do a dissertation, as it develops the key skills you will need for the early stages of your dissertation project.
Outline of assessment In this assessment you are required to produce aresearch proposal, which outlinesthe topic area in which your study is going to be located, the research questions that you intend to address, and the research design and methods that you intend to use. In developing your proposal, you should draw directly on different pieces of work produced during the entire tutorial programme. Your proposal should be structured and include the following sections:
The title should be concise, written in plain English and convey clearly the topic of your intended study.
This section should summarise and synthesise key issues covered in the articles provided for your assigned topic area, and in other relevant articles which you have identified by yourself. It should provide information on key findings, theoretical approaches and identified gaps in knowledge. It should also provide the rationale for the overall aim of your study, which will be outlined in the following section. Please note that this section should be referenced thoroughly.
This section should present a clear outline of the main aim of your research and the research questions you intend to address in your study. Please note that your overall aim and research questions need to be grounded in overview of the topic area provided in the literature review section.
This section should present a clear statement of your intended research design, identifying your research approach (i.e. inductive, deductive, or both); your methods choice (i.e. mono method, multi methods or mixed methods study); your intended timeframe (i.e. cross sectional or longitudinal). Please note that the exercises you had worked on have already prescribed some aspects of your research design! This section should also present a clear account of the sampling strategy you intend to use in your study and the procedures for securing access to your participants. Specifically, you should provide information on the number of participants, their characteristics, and the selection procedures.
This section should present a clear account of your intended data collections methods. Please note that the exercises you had worked on have already prescribed some aspects of your data collection methods, i.e. you have to use both questionnaire and semi-structured interviews). However, you are allowed to use other methods in addition to those mentioned above.In this section you also need to describe the research instruments that you developed in the course of the tutorial programme.
This section should provide a clear account of your intended data analysis methods. You need to describe separately any methods used to analyse your quantitative and qualitative data.
This section should present a clear and critical discussion of the potential ethical issues related to the topic of your project and its design. You need to consider different ethical problems that might emerge at different stages of your research, and suggest how you might deal with them.
This section should present a critical account of possible limitations of your project, including its design, methods and procedures. In particular, you need to discuss the issues of research quality (i.e. validity, reliability, generalisability) and how it might be compromised in your project.
This section should include the following additional material: the screenshots of your online questionnaire, a copy of your interview schedule, a copy of your completed CASS Research Ethics Form. Word length The word length for this assessment is 2500 words, excluding references.This means that proposals are expected to be within a 10% range of this word length. The reference list is not included in the word length.Please indicate the word length on your submitted proposal.
Reading The following textbooks include information you will find helpful in developing your methodological reports:
The chapters from your key textbook (the first position on the list above) have all been suggested readings for course lectures, so you should be going over familiar ground here rather than reading these chapters from scratch.
Assessment criteria Assessments will be marked using the University’s Common Grading Scale (CGS). Your work will be assessed according to a range of criteria:
· Identify and discuss different aspects of research design appropriate for the aim and questions of the intended study· Give clear account of intended data collection methods· Develop reliable and valid research instruments, corresponding to the identified research aim and questions· Give clear account of intended data analysis methods· Identify and critically discuss ethical issues relevant for the research topic and design· Critically assess research quality and potential limitations of research design, methods and procedures· Clearly organise and structure the proposal· Use consistently clear wring style and follow correct referencing proceduresThe ‘Assessment Feedback’sheet provides further details about these criteria and can be found at the end of this handout and in the Course Handbook.
