module 4

The Running head should be METHODOLOGY  and use subheadings that fit your project and method. Remember, don't go beyond the 3rd level of headings.

The method section includes a description of your sample (the sample population you would use if you were conducting this study) and the measure or data collection process (e.g., survey instrument, interviews, focus groups, etc.) utilized or how the data will be collected. You will first need to determine your population, describe the sampling technique you would utilize, describe your sample, and how you would contact them. describe how many participants would be ideal, their biological sex, age, education, occupation, etc., and describe the research conditions (e.g., email/online survey, classroom, knocking on doors, etc.). You do this so someone could replicate your study if they wanted to. You will discuss the variables in your research based on whether you are proposing a quantitative or qualitative study. Finally, take a shot at describing the statistical methods you propose to employ once you have your data collected and organized - An example would be proposing to apply the Pearson-Chi Squared test to your data.

SO, using the proposal template (based on whether you want to do qualitative/ quantitative/ mixed methods) as a guide, please discuss the methodology chapter of your proposal.

This should not be more than 4 pages excluding the cover page (excluding the title of your research proposal topic) and references (based on your in-text citations). Remember to have these headings (in one document/ paper) and discuss each fully.

................SO PLEASE cover the methodology section under the headings according to the template of your choice, starting from an overview of the chapter (No need to write Overview as a 2nd level heading. Just tab the 1st sentence of the overview). The overview should indicate what the chapter is all about. After the overview, please go to Research Design, Research Tradition, and the rest of the 2nd level headings according to your template. Each should have no less than 6 good sentences. Please cite sources and do your references as well.

Thanks
