State how the potential topic aligns with your program of study.
Justify the feasibility of the intended study.
Write a problem statement for your proposed study using the guidelines in the template.
Briefly defend the need for the proposed study.
Propose a conceptual/theoretical framework for the intended study.
Reflect on the significance of the proposed study.
Defend your selection of articles and annotations.
Feasibility of Research Problem
Provide one sentence that justifies the feasibility of your proposed research project.
Problem Statement
A problem statement emerges from reading and studying the literature around a topic. In RES 815 you discussed what is known, what needs to be known, and what is the significance of the potential problem you are investigating. Now you will organize this into different sections below. In this section, begin with the Problem Statement with a declarative problem statement based on the Identification of a problem space and your review of the literature in your field. Choose one of the formats below to write a one-sentence problem statement.
• It is not known how or why…
• Based on what is known in literature, _____ is still unknown/what still needs to be understood is…
• While the literature indicates ____________, it is not known in (school/district/organization/community) if __________.
Need for Study
Next, discuss why this is an important problem that needs to be investigated, that is, what is the benefit of studying this specific problem? (150-250 words)
Conceptual/Theoretical Framework
In the articles that you selected review the conceptual or theoretical frameworks that the authors used. Choose the one that seem the most promising to use in your own research. Discuss how this framework shows potential for helping you to investigate your problem space. Using the reference page, what would be the seminal work that the author(s) used that relates to the theoretical framework. (150-250 words)
Significance
Choose one of the articles you selected and discuss how their findings were significant to their problem area. How might examining the significance sections of articles help you prepare to write this section of your own proposal? How do you think your study will be significant to your field? (150-250 words)
Defense of Article Selection
The selection of the articles you choose to include is essential in developing an understanding of the literature on your topic. For this assignment you selected ten empirical articles that are important to your understanding of the problem. In this section, defend your selection of your ten articles for the annotated bibliography. Why were these ten articles important enough to annotate? How do these align with your research focus? Are they current and relevant? (250-500 words)
