Research Plan Overview Assignment Instructions

Overview

As you progress through this course, you will be developing a Research Plan Overview in outline format. The Research Plan Overview will be submitted in three stages throughout the course, with each stage revising and building upon the previous stage. The requirements for each stage of submission are described below, and the Research Plan Overview Template and Research Plan Overview Grading Rubrics for this assignment are available through Assignment Instructions.

Instructions

In addition to using the Research Plan Overview Template, you must include both a title and reference page (done in current APA format). Additionally, you must keep the headings (all text provided in black font) the same but replace the red text with your topic’s information typed in black font. All headings and subheadings must be included in your outline. Supply all of the pertinent information that the outline requests and include the uncompleted portions of the template (Methods, Appendices, etc.) in the document you submit—just leave the uncompleted portion in “red” text/font.

· Please utilize current APA Professional standards

NOTE: The Research Plan Overview Template (loosely) follows the Liberty’s Department of Community Care and Counseling’s Qualitative Dissertation Template (format); however, be aware that the format can change once you, the doctoral student, become a candidate (by finishing all coursework and successfully passing the comprehensive exam) and begin working with your dissertation committee.

Stage 1

For Stage 1, you must supply the information required for the Introduction (Section I) and the Review of Related Literature (Section II). You will continue to build the Review of Related Literature section throughout each stage of development, so be sure to supply what the red text requires.

Stage 2

Review Stage 1 of your research plan and make revisions or edits as necessary. Then, supply the information required for the Methods (Section III) subheadings A, B, C, D, and E along with Appendices A and B as applicable to your design ONLY.

NOTE: Subheadings F, G and H of the Methods (Section III) AND Appendices C and D are to be completed in Stage 3—NOT in Stage 2. Also, continue to build the Review of Related Literature (Section II).

Stage 3

This stage contributes the final section of the Research Plan Overview, giving you a complete outline. Review Stage 2 of your research plan and make revisions or edits as necessary. Supply the information required for the Methods section (III), subheadings F, G, and H. Also, supply the requested information for Appendices C and D. Finally, polish the Review of Related Literature section (II), adding any final elements you think are necessary.

Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.
