Research Proposal for a qualitative study.
Referring to the area of interest you researched for Assessment 1, write a Research Proposal for a qualitative study on a particular aspect of this topic. Integrate the feedback provided in the first assessment to refine the literature search in support of your research topic.
It must be a study that could realistically be carried out by one person collecting and analysing the data on their own (with input from a research supervisor). You are not asked to do the actual research, but you must write it as if you were planning to do this research yourself.
You have been allocated a research grant of R15,000 to fund this study. The proposal should be structured as follows:
Introduction (Explain the problem and provide relevant background information);
Literaturereview(Overviewofexistingresearchonthisissue.Synthesize,donotpresent study-by-study. End by developing your research questions/aims in relation to the existing literature: show how you will address a gap/build on a precedent to take knowledge further.);
Methods (must include the research design, participants, procedure for data collection, data collection methods, data analysis);
Ethical considerations; and
Budget and proposed timeline.
The post Research Proposal for a qualitative study first appeared on COMPLIANT PAPERS.
