Proposed Dissertation Title

1. Program of Study (DM, DBA, EdD, DHA: including specialization, when applicable)

2. Background of the Problem and Problem Statement

Per Week 3’s assignment description, write 1 to 2 paragraphs providing a brief description and background of the identified problem that is backed by literature. Avoid ‘just talking about’ the problem as the literature must be used to build your discussion. Also, provide your one-sentence substantiated problem statement. Substantiated refers to the one-sentence problem statement being backed by literature; there must be a citation to validate that the problem exists and that it is more than just your thoughts, observations, and/or opinions.

3. Purpose Statement

4. Research Question

State your proposed research question from Week 5’s assignment and in Appendix D provide a summary of how your research questions align with your purpose statement.

5. Research Method

Provide a statement of the proposed method and briefly describe why the methodology is appropriate from Week 6’s assignment.

Scholars sometimes struggle with the decision of whether to use quantitative or qualitative techniques of analysis. Despite the fact that many people believe the two names may be used alternately, this is simply not true. Qualitative research may be viewed as exploratory and can be used to discover patterns in people's thoughts and ideas, whereas quantitative approach is often used to enumerate a predicament by creating arithmetical values or data that can be changed into valuable information (Bryman, 2017).

It is a method of real-life investigation that attempts to comprehend social phenomena through exploratory studies. Humans as meaning-making actors in their daily lives are central to this approach, which emphasizes on the "why" and "how" of social phenomena instead of just the "what". As a result, choosing qualitative research for this method of performing in my own study. The problem that is at hand has not been defined, and at the moment there is no definite approach that is going to help, since they also have no idea what is in line. Qualitative research will help in understanding the issues of interest besides adding details and information that will play a significant role in interpreting the results. With choosing this method since it provides more feedback from respondents than quantitative research (Allan, 2020).

6. Research Design

Provide a statement of the proposed research design and why the design is appropriate from Week 7’s assignment.

7. Framework

Describe the theoretical or conceptual framework for your proposed study from Week 8’s assignment.

8. Significance of the Study

Provide a statement of the significance or importance of your study from Week 8’s assignment.

Change Matrix: Week 3 Feedback

A reflective practitioner looks back at the work they do, and the work process, and considers how they can improve: they reflect on the work they have done. The revision matrix provides the opportunity to exercise being a reflective practitioner during the doctoral journey. Critical thinking, a necessary skill for scholarly writing, incorporates the need to be a reflective practitioner as learning from personal experiences, as well as others, helps to answer the questions: Can anything be improved, can anything be done better?
