Research Proposal: Step 3 Research Questions

Throughout this course, you will plan and propose a qualitative research design of your choice, which may (or may not) involve an area of interest for your doctoral dissertation. You will select a research topic, generate researchable questions, review relevant literature, describe participant selection procedures, identify data collection methods, address potential ethical problems, and describe limitations of your research proposal.

This assignment is the third step toward completing your final research proposal in Week 6. In a two to three page paper, answer both of the following:

Drawing on your topic and problem statement from the Step 1 Assignment, and the review of the literature in the Step 2 Assignment create a specific research question and possibly a small number of sub questions that will help you investigate the research problem. Note that for this course, you will be expected to utilize a qualitative research design so you will not need to state a hypothesis (review your text). Your research question will be very specific. Drawing from the literature review in the Week 2 written assignment, provide a brief justification for your research question.

Start to develop your research plan by providing a summary regarding who your research participants might be (the people from whom you will collect your data), how you will connect with them, and what types of data you want to collect.
