2 INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROJECT A For Project A, you need to submit a research proposal for a research project. What you need to do - You need to identify a research problem and do a brief literature review on it. You need to then select one to three specific research questions relating to the research problem. However, you should not choose just any research problem and questions. The research questions should be such that to answer them you will need to collect primary data by means of a questionnaire and then use descriptive research methods to answer the research questions. - Then, you need to design and fully describe your research methodology for answering the research questions. In the methodology must explain the following: What the population is, how you will select your sample, what kind variables are involved in your research and what their measurement scales are, and what your questionnaire looks like. And finally, when you have collected your data, how will you proceed to answer your research questions based on the data? - Your submission needs to be in the form of a research proposal with the following sections. Introduction Research question Literature review Methodology Ethical considerations References Keep in mind the following: - Remember that although we list the steps here one after the other (find research problem, find research question, do literature review, write down methodology), all these actions are interlinked as explained in the study guide. At all times you must keep going back to previous sections to make sure everything still forms a consistent research plan - that is, all the parts match together! In particular: o The methodology needs to correspond to the research question. You are limited here to using a questionnaire to collect data. If you struggle to create a questionnaire to collect data on your initial research questions, then you may need to go back to change your research questions! o The literature review is there to to motivate your particular research questions, within the larger research problem area. o The variables and their measurement scales must be such that data collected as values for those variables can be used to answer the research questions using descriptive statistical methods. o The questionnaire must be such that it collects data on your chosen variables using the chosen measurement scales. o You may not use any standardised research questions which have been formulated by other researchers. Your questionnaire must be an original one.
