Research Question and the Significance of the Study
Case Assignment
The Case Assignments in this course are designed to assist you with the completion of the Doctoral Study Proposal . Each module will provide you with instructions and guidance on how to complete a component of the proposal. You are expected to follow the steps below:
· Review all module content including the information provided on the module homepage
· Incorporate any changes into your Case 2 assignment based on instructor feedback from Case 1
· Use the track changes function in Word , so the instructor can follow the modifications you make to your document based on Case 1 feedback
Using the module content as a guide, draft the following sections:
First, incorporate the feedback received on your Module 1 Case 1 assignment and update the following sections to reflect the feedback in your Case 2 assignment:
Background Statement of the Problem Purpose of the Study Conceptual or Theoretical Framework
Next, draft and add the following sections to the document:
Research Questions Provide a short introductory sentence and include your research questions in this section. Research questions should link directly to the purpose of a study. The number of research questions is dependent on the methodology and design.
A quantitative study can include several research questions that include measurable variables. Quantitative research questions specify the independent and dependent variables. Example quantitative research questions:
· How frequently do [participants] [variable] at [research site]?
· How does [independent variable] relate to [dependent variable]?
· How do [group 1] compare to [group 2] in terms of the [dependent variable]?
A qualitative study will include one central research question and a few subquestions. Qualitative research questions are written using exploratory language to allow participants to share information with you. Example qualitative research question:
· What is the [central phenomenon] for [participants] at [research site]?
Significance of the Study Describe how your study will contribute to the understand of the problem and who will benefit from your study. This should link to your Application to Practice section in the completed doctoral study.
Here is an exercise to help you complete this section:
a. Describe how your study will contribute to the understanding of the problem and who will benefit from your study.
i. Reflect on how the proposed study may (when applicable) impact:
1. practitioners in the field of educational leadership
2. students
3. education policy
ii. Discuss how the findings may result in real-world application to practice (e.g. new curriculum or training, handbooks or reference guides, etc.).

Module 2 - SLP
Research Question and the Significance of the Study
The SLP assignments in this course will assist you with the development of an annotated bibliography. This document will become a valuable resource as you complete your study. For SLP 2, add to your annotated bibliography for your dissertation with a focus on the articles you incorporated into your Case 2 assignment. For each resource provide the following:
· Complete APA Citation: Sample for Journal Article: Author, A. A., Author, B. B., & Author, C. C. (Year). Title of article. Title of Periodical, volume number (issue number), pages. http://dx.doi.org/xx.xxx/yyyyy
· Visit OWL APA for guidance on how to cite other types of resources.
· Summary: Discuss key definitions, theories, concepts, or ideas (in your own words).
· Key findings: Identify the findings that are relevant to your study.
· Key quote(s): Identify any key quotes or statements (remember to include a page number for each quote).
· Relation to other articles: Briefly compare and contrast this source to other sources in your annotated bibliography.
· Relevance to my Research: Identify which research question(s) or research methodology/design this article supports.
· Notes: Add any additional comments you have about this study (e.g., things to remember, follow up, or other considerations).
