The assignment:
?A research question (or questions) and a justification of its viability
?A hypothesis (or hypotheses) and a justification of its viability (If your proposed study is qualitative, there will be no hypothesis.)
?How does the question address a “gap” in existing knowledge in your area of study?
?To what extent does the purpose statement evoke the research question?
?In what ways could the question serve to address real-world problems and potentially lead to social change?
?An APA formatted reference list entry for each of the 8 articles that you have found.
?A 1-paragraph summary, following Creswell’s guidelines, of each article that you have found.
?A brief rationale for the selection of each item. Within each rationale, identify any gaps in the knowledge or deficiencies that justify your research and whether not the article supports or detracts from existing research.
?An introduction to your proposed study.
?A purpose statement for your proposed study.
?A research question (or questions) and a justification of its viability
?A hypothesis (or hypotheses) and a justification of its viability (if your proposed study is qualitative, there will be no hypothesis)
