Describe what goes in each section in a typical research proposal.

Create a research project
outline which will include a brief summary of what would be included in each
section of a research project: introduction, literature review, methods,
results, and conclusions. Provide a correctly formatted APA cover sheet and present
your writing in a professional manner.
You are writing a detailed research outline
in essay format, but you are not coming up with an experiment, you are simply
describing what goes on in an experiment and what goes in each section of a
research proposal. Describe what goes in each section in a typical research
proposal. Use your journal entries to provide you with information to use when
describing these sections, use concepts and terms you learned in class. Similar
to the APA template example but you cannot use the information or the same
words, you must add the information that you learned in this class and from
your textbook. You must provide examples for each section.
Your outline should have the following
format and sections with detailed (by detailed I mean a paragraph or multiple
paragraphs) points telling me what important topics are covered in each section
and a description of those topics.
Title Page
Abstract (tell me what an abstract is, what
typically goes in an abstract)
Introduction (tell me what an introduction
is meant for, and what typically goes in an introduction for a research
proposal.
Lit Review/Background (what is the purpose
for a lit review, what information do you typically find in a lit review)?
Methods (contains participants subsection,
procedures subsection and materials subsection)
Results (tell me what a results section
typically contains, what are common statistical analyses used, etc)
Discussion (What do authors/researchers
typically put in a discussion section? Why is a discussion section important?)
References
Be sure to put the correct
information in each section, for example, typically participants are first
introduced in the abstract and introduction briefly but a much more detailed
description of the participants in a research study is found in the Methods
section. Another example is the data analysis technique (anova, t-test)
statistical interpretations, and results are included in the results section.
The research outline needs to be detailed,
not just a simple one word or even one sentence per bullet point outline. This
outline not including
your title page, abstract, references, journal or terms should be 4 or more
pages. You need to cite the textbook (and cite it more than once) with correct
in-text citations. You also need to cite two outside resources, these need to
be scholarly articles, not blogs, or psychology today type magazines.
Finally, if your outline is shown to
have too much non-original content through turnitin.com then it will be
returned to you for a 2nd chance to rewrite and get the non-original content
down. If you fail to do so this second time, you will receive a zero. So, do
not plagiarize, do not simply paraphrase, you must use your own words, you must
cite articles, you must use quotations in a limited amount.
