Prof Writing & Proposal Devel

 As noted in class, I recommend using the Dissertation and Theses database for help on the survey instrument assignment. Tips: Use the ProQuest Dissertation and Theses database to look at dissertations on your topic and see what they used. Here is where it is listed in the databases on the library website:( I removed university link) Click on Proquest Dissertation and Theses database. You will have to login with your UC email and password. Use a Chrome web browser. Options: 

1. You may find one survey and adapt it to fit your topic. 
2. You may adapt portions of multiple sources and adapt it to fit your topic. ****Be sure to give credit by citing them. List them in a Reference section.*** 
3. Also, include some original components to whatever survey your adapt form. 

Example:

If you found a topic you would like to partially adopt for creating your survey say (the survey is partially adapted from The Principal Instructional Management Rating Scale (PIMRS). An example of adapting would be using some of the (PIMRS) questions and create some original questions. Note at the end of the survey in the Reference Section that it is partially adapted from ex: PIMRS. This meets the requirements of the assignment.  

AssigmentData Gathering InstrumentTask: Create one (1) instrument that could be used to gather data for your mock dissertation topic. The instrument should be designed to be exactly how it would be deployed to collect data. Since instrumentation usually goes through several steps of field testing, for purposes of this assignment you can submit a deployment-ready draft of your instrument without field testing it. Be sure the instrument collects data appropriately to measure your research question.  If your study will not use an instrument to collect data because your data is archival and already exists, you will discuss your process for data retrieval.
