Literature Review Section (20 marks)
This section is a brief review of the
relevant literature pertaining to the proposed problem/project. Carefully
select the articles you review to inform and/or support the need for your
project, for example:
•
Does the literature provide supporting documentation
of the existence of the problem you have identified? Your project should not be based solely on your own subjective
opinion, perceptions, or intuition.
•
Does the literature point to major gaps that your
project can fill? Maybe no one else has done what you propose to do. That’s
great! Your study will definitely “add to our (collective) fund of knowledge.”
•
Does the literature support the methodology or
“solution” you have selected to address the problem?
•
Are there published reports by others who have
already done what you propose to do? If so, critique this literature, and
discuss how your project can improve / expand / build on the existing body of
knowledge.
You should review a minimum of 7
sources for the
literature review section of the proposal.
The articles should be fairly current
(the majority of literature cited should have been published within the last 10 years; seminal/influential works in the topic
area may be older) and should come from peer-reviewed journals. Edited texts
or textbooks may also be appropriate sources of material. Web sites
should not be used!
NOTE: Refer to
APA guidelines for how to incorporate in-text citations of the articles you
review.
4.
Research Methods (50 marks)
This section should describe the proposed
methodology and how you will conduct the project. The proposed methodology
narrative/paragraph(s) will include an explanation of the following:
· Which methodology you follow
(qualitative, quantitative, or mix method).
· How will data be collected (survey, case
study, content analysis, comprehensive literature reviews
etc.)? Your selected methodology should be justified and supported based on
peer-review articles:
o
Include specific survey/questionnaire items
(open-closed…etc.)
o
Nature of interviews (unstructured,
structured interviews) and specific questions.
o
Provide a clear and detailed explanation of the
chosen methodology if it involves comprehensive or systematic literature
reviews.

Students are expected to develop at least 6
questions in total if the proposed method is survey/questionnaire, or
interviews, or both.
o
Sample size/types and selection criteria.
o
Variables to be measured (quantitative-if applicable)

collection tools well-suited for this project? It should be supported with
evidence drawn from other studies.
· What will the proposed data collection
methodology allow you to learn about the topic or problem?
