Research Proposal

Research Proposal

This assignment is something that you will be able to draw upon moving forward in the program. A research proposal is a very common start to a research project as it helps to frame the importance of the project itself and show the knowledge gaps that currently exist in the literature. Typically after a solid research proposal is written, the paper unfolds from there as you have a clear framework to follow moving forward.

This assignment requires you to write a proposal that states your research question and your research strategy for addressing it. As mentioned throughout your previous assignments you may draw upon each one to help you build your proposal.

Research Proposal:

The research proposal must be between 8-10 pages in length not including the title page or references.

Your title page should include the working title of your research project, your name, date, and course title. You should also have an abstract on your title page.

Your proposal should have the following sections: Research Proposal

Introduction: The introduction is where you identify your specific research question and where you set the general context for the study. In this section, you need to include:

a statement of the problem or general research question and context leading to a clear statement of the specific research question;
background and contextual material justifying why this case or topic should be studied; and
a purpose statement.

Literature Review: This short preliminary literature review section reviews the literature important to your specific research question. The literature review focuses on discussing how other researchers have addressed the same or similar research questions. It introduces the study and places it in a larger context that includes a discussion of why it is important to study this case. It provides the current state of accumulated knowledge as it relates to your specific research question. In this section, you should:

Summarize the general state of the literature (cumulative knowledge base) on the specific research question. For example if you discuss other studies that have been conducted you would summarize the researcher’s findings how those findings were obtained and conduct an evaluation of biases in the findings.,
This section should provide a broad overview of the primary arguments related to the topic and organizes the general views on the main aspects of the topic by theme which could be the prevailing arguments or schools of thought or commonly held beliefs that your particular topic may challenge.,
Include a short conclusion and transition to the next section.,

In your literature review, you should also discuss the theoretical framework to be used in the study. You should ensure you cover the following in your discussion:

a summary of the theory or model to be used in the study including a diagram of the model if appropriate;
comment on the kinds of questions this theory has been used to answer in the past and why it is appropriate to use in this proposed study,
To really drive this home you want to end your literature review with a discussion of the current knowledge gaps. This is an opportunity to once again promote the importance of your own research., How will your research fit within this larger body of knowledge? What are you doing differently? What gaps will your research fill?,
For some additional information on how to organize your theoretical framework into your paper, check out this USC Library guide on Theoretical Frameworks.

From here you would then include a transition into your methodology section.

NOTE: Literature reviews can be a bit tricky to write. Think back to how you wrote your short theory lit review in week 4. Chances are you already started to write in a style similar to what one does when completing a literature review. Check out this video (the same one you were guided to in week 4) to help you further prepare to write this section of your proposal. This will not be the last time that you are asked to write a literature review in your academic career so it is important to master this skill. Research Proposal

Research Design and Methods: Describe how you will answer your research question or test the hypothesis. This section describes your overall research design and how you plan to collect, synthesize, and interpret your data. It should include:

identification and operationalization (measurement) of variables;
a sampling plan (i.e., study population and sampling procedures, if appropriate);
justification of case studies used;
data collection/sources (secondary literature, archives, interviews, surveys, etc.);
a summary of analysis procedures (pattern-matching, etc.); and
the limitations of the study and bias discussion.

Conclusion: Reemphasizes the importance of your study and ties the proposal together.

Reference List: As with all academic papers you need to reference the works that you have cited (direct quotes or paraphrases) in the text of your document and incorporate a complete reference list or bibliography at the end. This list needs to be in the style used within your field. APA= Criminal Justice, Turabian for all others in this course.

Remember that the references you use demonstrate your knowledge of the topic area. This research proposal is meant to convince your professor that you not only have identified a worthy question in need of investigation but that you are also capable of carrying out the research involved to successfully answer that question. At the very least you should have referenced 12-15 peer-reviewed sources in this proposal.

Since multiple writing styles are in use within this course, on your title page, please note which style you are using within your assignment. This will help me cater my comments to the style you are using. The style you use needs to be the one that is used within your program of study.

Format:

The standard academic format will suffice: one-inch borders on all four sides, double-spaced, with times new roman 12-point font.

The research paper must be submitted as a Word Document Attachment in the Assignments section of the classroom by Sunday, 11:55 pm EST at the end of week 8. Entitled (NameFINALW8.doc) and upload in the Assignments sections.

Good luck!!

Lesson Plans and Assessments

By Academic Wizard Blog

Lesson Plans and Assessments

As an educator, you will be expected to know how to create and implement daily lesson plans and assessments. It is important to develop the skills to write lesson plans that include state standards, effective learning objectives, appropriate instructional strategies, and differentiated activities and assessments to meet the diverse needs of all students. Assessments do not have to look the same for all students. By using ethical and equitable approaches, assessments can be seamlessly woven into instruction to provide students with multiple opportunities to demonstrate their learning. Effective instructional planning and assessments are foundational to your future professional practice.

Part 1: Lesson Plan

Throughout this course, you have developed a full lesson plan, including aligning learning objectives to standards, determining instructional strategies and assessments, planning all components of a lesson plan, and considering differentiation for diverse student needs.

Imagine that you are now planning the next lesson for learning. Using the “COE Lesson Plan Template,” develop that full lesson by choosing the next standard you would address and applying the planning process to that standard using the template.

Include at least 2-4 assessments and for each assessment included in your lesson plan, justify its purpose in supporting and demonstrating learning.

Part 2: Reflection

Write a 500-750 word reflection on how you would apply assessment practices to your lesson plan. Address the following in your reflection:,

Discuss how you designed standards-based formative and summative assessments that are differentiated to meet all student needs.,
Explain 2-3 methods for providing descriptive and timely feedback within the lesson to assist students and families in understanding student progress.,
Describe ethical and equitable assessment practices for the classroom, including when using technology to support assessment.,

Support your lesson plan and reflection with a minimum of three scholarly resources.,

Submit your lesson plan and reflection in a single document.,

Note: This assignment may be added as an artifact to your toolkit.

While APA Style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. A link to the LopesWrite Technical Support Articles is located in Class Resources if you need assistance.
