NOTE: Do not forget to section your paper and follow the order and limits below. Use APA style for the whole work. Do not use the following: “I, my, one, we (when referring to yourself), an article was written by, an article published in…” throughout the whole paper.
Abstract
In 250 words or less, include a brief project overview including: a brief statement of introduction to your project; a brief statement of your project objective(s); your hypothesis; a brief statement describing your proposed work; and a summary of results to date (if there are any) and a discussion of where the project is headed.
Introduction
A brief introduction (no more than 1 paragraph) on the general scientific relevance of your proposed research. Your introduction should aim to explain the basic science behind your subject of study/problem and why is it important to study it. It should also explain any technical details particular to your work or field of study. Your introduction must give your audience the information needed to understand the rest of your proposal. Clearly, state the main purpose of your study.
Literature Review
Summarize the prior research on the topic (minimum 3 peer-reviewed articles should be applied besides other supplementary sources on your discretion) (Note: Follow APA for citation, discuss what did they study, what did they found (results), and how their findings help your study). This is NOT an annotated bibliography, so avoid writing the list of the articles. Suppose to be a smooth text of all of the articles, where you are reviewing their relevance with the aim of your study. Make sure to use transitions between paragraphs.
Research Question
Specify what the research will answer. Should include at least 1 dependent an 1 independent variable (Note: its 1 sentence with a question mark)
Hypothesis
A hypothesis is the proposed explanation or expectation of the phenomenon you are testing. It is an educated guess (meaning that it must be based on previous observations) of the anticipated results of your research. The hypothesis must be worded so that it can be tested by your research. Do this by expressing the hypothesis using your independent variable (the stable variable that doesn’t change during your experiment) and your dependent variable (the variable you observe – changes in the dependent variable depend on the independent variable). In fact, many hypotheses are stated exactly like this: “If a particular independent variable is changed, then there is also a change in a certain dependent variable.”] (Note: its 1 sentence without question mark at the end J)
Population
Who and what will you study. Provide a detailed description including all the elements that are relevant to your study (race, ethnicity, age, gender, educational/immigration/financial/ statuses, etc. or anything else relevant to your population). Should a minimum of one paragraph.
Definition of Variables
Define what is your independent variable and dependent variable in separate paragraphs. Provide the definitions of your chosen variables (better to use an encyclopedia, law dictionary, textbooks, relevant research, or official websites ending in .gov. Wikipedia is not accepted!) (Note: Do Not provide a description and meaning of the terms “independent, and dependent”. Define what are YOUR variables AS independent and dependent (with the source where you obtained the definitions.)
Data Collection Method
Explain how data will be collected (ex: survey, observation, interview (phone, mail, online) or any other way you learned in the research methods course you’ve taken) *remember, only this part of the paper is where you are just pretending that you have collected the data, since you do not have official permission to do so. Make sure to answer why this specific way of collecting data and not the other, how it will help you fulfill the purpose of your study. Describe in detail the time frame you picked for collecting the data and answer why it will be appropriate; location where you will be collecting data and how it will help answer your research question rather than picking another location; how you will approach the participants/subjects to gather your data and why this approach and not the other will be more beneficial for your study.
