REQUESTING: Gary Lloyd
complete the following areas of the Methods section for the
Research Proposal:
1. Method, Participants, Research Design, Instrumentation,
and Data Collection Plans. (Estimated
length – two pages)
• Method/Research Procedure/Methodology: Determine the
method of research for the proposal. Examples could be: qualitative,
quantitative, and case study. See page 271
of your textbook.
NOTE: The information in the textbook on methodology is
written in past tense; however, be sure that youwrite in future tense for the proposal.
(Estimated length –
two paragraphs)
• Participants: Provide specific identification for the
proposed participants for the study. Include a description, the possible number
within the population, the proposed location, and the selection procedure. Be
specific when identifying the selection process. Then identify how a
representative sample will be drawn from the population. (Refer to Chapter 4, pages 89-102,
for examples.) (Estimated
length – half a page)
• Research Design: Determine how to conduct the data
collection and the proposed analysis. See page 15 of your textbook. (Estimated length – half a page)
• Instrumentation and Data Collection Plans: State the
sources and/or instrument(s) proposed to be used to record the data (surveys,
interview protocols). Identify the procedure. For a mailed survey, identify
steps to be taken in administering and following up the survey to obtain a high
response rate. Determine how to specifically conduct the research based on the
proposed sample. See page 149 of the textbook. (Estimated length – half a page)
2. Proposed Analysis of the Data. (Estimated length – one to two pages)
Identify what results are expected from the sample. Identify
how the categories of responses will be determined and analyzed. Address
specifically what the proposed results could infer back to the population.
Answer the following questions:
• What variables will be included in the analyses?
• Identify the dependent and independent variables if such a
relationship exists.
• What is the decision making criteria (e.g., the critical
alpha level)?
• Will computer software be used in the analysis? If so,
identify what will be used.
• Explain how to assess the validity of the measurement.
• Explain how to measure the reliability of the variables.
