The dissertation proposal is attached.
Here below is the structure to be followed by the writer
Section 1 Introduction: What the study is about, why you choose it, and in particular the
key research question that you intend to address.
Section 2 Literature Review This section
is where you set the scene for the reader by providing background information.
Think about the issues relevant to your work to help you decide what to write
about in this chapter.
Section 3 Research Design, 3.1
Research Methodology and 3.2 Research Method
This chapter is very important. It
shows how and why you gathered your data in the way you did and
exactly what that involves. You will need to have a rigorous explanation of why
your method of gathering data is appropriate.
in Section 3.2. For level 7 (Masters) research you should describe and
justify the ontological position of your research and the epistemological
strategy behind your data collection
Section 4 Findings This is an
important section sometimes called ‘Results’ (Are you presenting
findings or results?). You will present
then analyse and discuss the data you gathered. Analysis of
results depends very much on the type of data that you have collected. Will you
present descriptive statistics describing univariate results (from each
individual variable) or inferential statistics comparing sub-groups within your
data or making inference of participant population from a selected sample of
participants? How statistically significant are these estimations? Can you do
better than simply showing graphical representation upon your limited number of
participants – how valid or representative are these findings? You need to
plan your analysis at the beginning of your work prior to gathering your data,
so that you know from the start what you will gather and how you will analyse
it.
Section 5 Conclusions These are
your key conclusions and will follow the structure of your research objectives
in turn. This chapter presents a concise but comprehensive understanding of
what you have been investigating.
Section 6 Recommendations Based on your
conclusions, recommendations should be of two types. First, state
recommendations for key stakeholders (ie how you intend your conclusions to be
deployed). Second, recommendations for further research (ie further work to
resolve the limitations of your research). Limitations of you research should
be described alongside your conclusions.
List of Abbreviations
References This is
essential. This lists all articles or information to which you have actually
referred. The list must be alphabetical by Author – follow the Harvard referencing.
