RESEARCH METHODOLOGY PRESENTATION ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
OVERVIEW
For this assignment, you will develop a PowerPoint presentation that addresses the gap in the
research literature (for traditional research) or a noticed need in the field (for applied/action
research). Your presentation will also address a related research question or problem informed by
the research topic. The topic of the presentation should align with the topic you identified in
Discussion: Research Topic and in the Professional Publication Manuscript Assignment.
Your proposed research design must include human participants and be of one of the design
types presented in the Learn section for this course (do not attempt the following design types:
mixed-methods, descriptive statistics only, meta-analysis, or text-only reviews). Data must never
be collected without Institutional Review Board approval. You are only proposing a research
study. Do not actually engage human participants or collect data.
Use past-tense verbs when discussing studies already conducted (i.e., from the research
literature) and future-tense verbs to describe your proposed study.
Review the Research Methodology Presentation Grading Rubric before submitting your
presentation.
INSTRUCTIONS
The presentation must be 10–20 slides and must include the following elements:
An introduction;
A literature review section with citations;
A theoretical or conceptual framework section with citations;
o Note: Be specific and describe how your study will be grounded. For instance,
traditional research should include a theoretical framework, such as Social
Cultural Career Theory, Expectancy-Value Theory, etc. Applied or action
research should include a conceptual framework that attends to the basic
foundation that frames your problem of practice.
A section describing your proposed research question(s) and research design for
advancing the body of knowledge for your topic;
A section describing your proposed sample population, sampling strategy, sample size,
and methods for ensuring a diversely represented sample;
o Note: Be specific. Identify a specific sampling strategy (e.g., purposeful
convenience, random, or snowball sampling). Where will you derive your sample
population? How many participants would you need?
A section describing your proposed data gathering methods (for qualitative designs), data
collection protocol, and instrumentation (for quantitative designs);
o Note: Be specific. Will you use an already established measurement instrument,
such as a survey or standardized test? Or will you create one based on the
EDUC 798

curriculum in use or other factors? If you plan to create a measurement, you need
only mention this—do not create one for this assignment.
A section describing your proposed data analysis strategy (for qualitative designs) OR
chosen statistical analysis (for quantitative designs). You are proposing research only, not
conducting it.
A section describing your proposed plan for ensuring trustworthiness (for qualitative
designs) OR validity and reliability (for quantitative designs).
o Note: Be specific about how you will analyze data. Will you conduct a specific
statistical analysis (for quantitative designs)? Will you code data and organize it
into themes (for qualitative designs)? Be specific about how you will ensure
trustworthiness (will you use triangulation, for instance?) OR validity and
reliability (will you conduct a statistical test, such as Cronbach’s alpha, for
instance?)
A references section (you must cite a minimum of five articles from scholarly, peer-
reviewed journals for this assignment).
Ensure your presentation is easily readable, aesthetically pleasing, and professional. Include
graphics, images, pictures, and/or charts to engage your audience.
Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool
