This assignment gives you the chance to do two things. You will build a basic methodology that should be logically sound enough to be able to study your research question in an observable, unbiased way. You will also build a rationale that explains why your research gap should be filled.
Instructions
In 150-400 words describe a hypothetical methodology for studying your research topic. In the same document, in 250-450 words, create a rationale to a scholarly audience of experts on your topic justifying why your identified research gap should be filled and why your proposed study should be conducted to your audience.
Requirements:
1. Do not use first or second person in the rationale, but you may use first person in the methodology.
2. In addition to a specific explanation of how you will test your research question, your methodology should explain how you will analyze the data and how you would recognize a significant result. Use the following outline to build your methodology paragraph. Generally, 1-2 sentences will be enough for each item:
a. Explain who or what your sample is and how you will locate it.
b. Describe your independent variable’s process.
c. Describe how you will collect and observe your data.
d. Describe how you will analyze your data.
e. Describe what a significant result would look like.
3. In your rationale, the question you are answering is this: Why is your research proposal a good way to study this problem, and why should we fund this research? Pretend you are convincing a board of academics in this field that your research proposal is worth financial support. Remember: your audience are already experts in the field, so you do not need to explain basic principles.
4. Your grammar, spelling, and punctuation should be flawless. Visit the Liberty University writing centers if you want extra help.
5. Use APA formatting; no abstract or title page is required but do include a reference page if you use sources.
Additional Suggestions for Methodology:
1. Look up methodologies in the journal articles you have been researching and use those as models and guides.
2. Everyone’s methodology will look a little bit different. Your methodology may include an experiment with two groups getting different treatments, one group that gets tested before and after a treatment, or a large group of people filling out a survey. Or you may be suggesting a research proposal that involves reading literature and analyzing it.
3. Remember that simply reading textbooks or other journal articles is just secondary research. A good methodology does primary research and finds new information rather than just compiling old information.
4. Whatever you do, make sure that your results cannot be brought into question. For instance, if you wanted to test the effects of a drug on humans and did not clarify what humans, I might wonder if your results would be skewed because more or fewer men or women could be in different experimental groups than in the others. Be specific about your demographics or aspects of your methodology.
5. Similarly, if you were doing a study of postmodern literature but did not say when the postmodern era began, you would get very different results based on your cutoff date.
6. You can be creative with your methodology, but you must also be skeptical. Would you have faith in your methods to return a reliable result?
7. Here are a few questions you can ask yourself to get started:
A. What would I need to find to suggest that my hypothesis is correct?
B. How can I eliminate variables that might confuse my results? (i.e. If studying effects of sunlight on positivity in a work environment, make sure you are not also adding free food or opportunities to walk around.)
C. If you’re studying humans, which ones, and why does it matter? How old are they? What ethnicity? What religion? What income level? What education level? Not all of these will matter for every study (education level would be more important than religion in studying effects of education on earning potential), but identify the ones that do.
