liberal capstone

For this assignment you are required to develop a Research Design Proposal, which after further work later in the course will become the third chapter of your final project, Chapter 3: Research Design and Methodology.

This chapter cannot be finalized until the actual research involved has been completed as part of your work in Modules 4 and 5. You will have to return to Chapter 3 in Module 6 and write a final draft before you submit the final capstone.

At this stage, you should be making an initial determination of the following:

• research perspective
• research type
• research method

After making an initial determination of which perspective, type and method are best suited for your purposes, you will start to develop your research design proposal, which is a specific plan for studying a research problem that has been identified.
