EDUC 5394 Understanding Classroom Research
Module 5 Assignment: Research Proposal Instructions
Submit by 11:59 p.m., Sunday of Module 5. NOTE: You will create new Word documents for this Assignment instead of typing directly into this document.
Overview: Research Proposal (First Draft)
Now you will pull together all the components of your research proposal that you have created so far. More than likely, your draft will undergo several revisions, but you will have a good start on the project for this master’s program. The difference between this assignment and your previous work on your research project components is that now you will create a seamless narrative in APA format that is the actual beginning portion of your project. Be sure to incorporate any recommendations you have received from your Academic Coach and/or Professor into this draft, as well as other information or insights you have gained since you initially completed the assignments. Refine your writing to include appropriate transitions, and review the professor’s academic writing tips. Be careful with formatting, headings, subheadings, references, and so on. Use the sample research proposals and reports in your textbook and the Resources section of this course as guides. You may also want to have a fellow teacher critique your work to get another point of view.
Objectives:
• • • • •
Explain the role of research in the improvement of teaching and learning. Utilize professional journals, research organizations, and other resources to describe trends in education. Explain quantitative research methods and experimental design. Explain qualitative research methods and design. Explain action research methods and design.
