 A research proposal is an overview of the argument contained in your working thesis statement, sometimes called a hypothesis. It is not based on research, but on what you already know, or think you know, about your topic.If done well, a research proposal will almost serve as a preliminary outline of your paper. It offers your working thesis (hypothesis) and explanation, which should list the points you want to make. The sub-points are the main points of your paper. And the objections represent the of the argument.This is a good time to reconsider the initial thoughts you had earlier in the module about your thesis (or hypothesis): do you need to rewrite it? If you have trouble filling in the sections below, an improperly formed thesis might be the problem.The research proposal has 5 parts:: a one-sentence paragraph; no introduction is necessary.: a statement that includes the points you think you will be discussing in your paper. : each sub-point explains more fully a point mentioned in your explanation.: a brief discussion of the opposition’s point of view.: your brief answer to the opposition.Your research proposal should look like the five parts listed above. The number of sub-points may vary, but if you have only two, you may not have enough material for a good paper. For a simple undergraduate paper, limit your sub-points to 4 or 5.The point of this exercise is to give you a focus, to force you to think about your topic independently of any research you may do or have done. This will probably serve as a basis for your paper, although it is quite likely that, once you begin your research, some of your ideas will change. That is the point of research: working to find an answer to a question!Although your early research may have given you some great information, it is not necessary to rely on research for a good research proposal: you are simply outlining the argument that you expect to make in your final paper.A good research proposal follows the standard format described in this module.Save your research proposal as and submit it to the by . All written assignments and responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources.  

Qualitative Research Question

Qualitative Research Question

For this Discussion Question, please be sure to visit the Application 2 area before completing this Discussion posting.

Most research questions begin with an interest, a question that has been piqued by some observed event or phenomenon. In fact, interest is a necessary factor in research, as it serves as a continuous source of motivation for completing a study.

For this Discussion, you will be posting for peer review your initial qualitative research question which you will have completed in this week\’s Application 2 assignment. You will first want to review the strategic choices and steps involved in developing a qualitative research design. Specifically, pay attention to the steps necessary for conducting interview research and provide discussion of APA requirements for clear, scholarly writing.
