Assessment 2: Literature Review and Conceptual Framework Due date: 22 November 2020 Group/individual: Individual assignment Word count: 2000 words Weighting: 30% - 20% written submission plus 10% presentation in W7, 8 Unit Learning Outcomes: ULO-1, ULO-2, ULO-3, ULO-4 Course Learning Outcomes: CLO-1, CLO-2, CLO-5, CLO-7 Assignment Details: Prepare a 2000 word submission which will be incorporated in your research proposal for your chosen research topic. There is a proposed structure and a recommendation for how long each section should be below. The recommended lengths of each section are approximate, and will vary depending on the research question you are proposing to investigate and the methodology you are proposing to use in your hypothetical research proposal. The submission must concentrate on the literature review and your conceptual framework. Guideline for Preparing the Assignment 1. Abstract / Overview of the project. Point out the importance of the project, why it is being conducted, what the results are expected to show, and the significance of the findings. (~300 words, not included in word count, write it at the end) 2. With reference to evidence, describe the research objectives and research question(s). (~200 words) 3. Critically evaluate the literature. Describe and evaluate the evidence concerning the research topic. The aim is to provide a critique of existing work and identify gaps in knowledge and / or methodological weaknesses in existing research. You have limited space, and so are not expected to provide a comprehensive critique, but to evaluate a small number of appropriate, recent, peer P a g e 7 | 18 All research project assignments are to be submitted through the online Canvas site https://apic.instructure.com Please use the following naming convention for your assignments: ‘ID#_ YourLastName_SBM1300_Assessment x, i.e., ‘202002020_Adam_SBM1300_Assessment x’. Please also ensure that your assignment has a standard cover sheet that can be obtained through the online Canvas site. reviewed studies to demonstrate your skills in identifying and evaluating appropriate evidence. (~1000 words) 4. Describe a hypothetical research study to answer the research question / test the research hypothesis. Remember, this is hypothetical. You do not have to actually be able to carry out the study, but you need to think about what you would need to carry out a study to answer your research question / test your hypothesis. (~800 words in total, with sections as noted below). Design / Methodology. This section includes details of the research methodology to be used. Will this be a randomized controlled trial? A quasi-experimental design? A cross-sectional survey? A longitudinal design? A qualitative research study using focus groups? A qualitative research study using semi-structured interviews? A combination of these or something else entirely? In this section the aim is to describe the characteristics of a research design / methodology that is capable of answering the research question / testing the hypothesis posed. You must provide a conceptual framework model that is not flawed (~500 words). Proposed Data Collection and Analysis. Describe the proposed data collection method and data analysis strategy briefly. (~200 words). Ethical issues. Provide a brief statement that clearly shows whether or not ethics approvals would be required for the research project. (~100 words). 5. References (not included in the word count) When preparing your research proposal please keep in mind that you are being assessed as a level 9 AQF student. This means that your report must: (a) Follow the accepted conventions for writing academic reports in terms of writing style and referencing; (b) Demonstrate your ability to critically review evidence and draw conclusions based on your evaluation. Students are advised to use the criteria for assessment below in writing up their Research Proposals. The Research Proposal is to be written in academic format using Harvard referencing. There are many resources available to assist you in improving your writing style provided on the Student Lounge and by consulting an Academic Enhancement Team staff member.
