Questioning & Structuring The following questions should be covered ? 1. What research paradigm have you adapted for this research? ? 2. What research method was chosen to answer the research question(s)? In this section, you need to define the chosen research method using appropriate literature. ? 3. Why was this research method chosen? In this section, you need to describe why this method was chosen using appropriate literature. ?4. Given the research method chosen, how will the research be conducted? In this section you should outline all aspects of your project plan for the research:

Requirements Preparing The intention is to encourage you to think about how to structure your writing before you actually get too far into the writing process. It is also an opportunity for you to consider the overall length of the final report, and to think about how many words can be devoted to each of these sections. Presenting In your presentation you should: 'I. 2. Briefly summarize the chosen topic and related research questions Briefly outline the research design as will be expanded upon in the section Focus: Research Design below. The aim is for the group to get feedback. Provide a list of relevant materials from academic and professional literature that has been consulted. The corresponding Annotated Bibliography is to be uploaded to Canvas with the power point slides. Provide an outline of your final report, with headings that are descriptive of the content of each section. Provide at least bullet points indicating the major ideas and themes that will be covered in each section. Provide a brief statement, graph or table that indicates how much of the work you have completed and what remains to be done in each of these sections. Overview In this assignment, working with your group, you'll build from your individual literature reviews and initial scoping work to select appropriate methods and develop a suitable design for your research. By the end of the assignment, primarily you should be better able to critically analyse, discuss and evaluate an appropriate research method and research design within the context of a small research project. In addition, you will have further improved your knowledge of your research area, be more effective in communicating your research, and enhanced your general research abilities. This assignment provides you the opportunity to give the stateofplay with regards to your ongoing research project. It allows you to demonstrate the outcomes of your critical analyses, evaluations, methodology selections, and research design activities. Each group is required to give a presentation to discuss the planned structure of the research report, the underlying research design, and the key literature sourced to inform the study. The presentation provides assurance that you are progressing well towards the actioning of the research
