Please find the attached literature review, you need to follow this literature review in order to complete Research Proposal Task 2 and Task 3 Please go thorough with the attached files to understand
TASK 2: Research Proposal 2000 to 2500 words
Based on literature review, students are required to write a business research proposal outlining the details of the proposed research project that addresses the gaps identified in the literature. Derived from the business topic, the proposal needs to include clearly state research questions (primary and secondary), and provide a solid research methodology that supports the feasibility of the research project Marking criteria of the research proposal include: the justification of the research questions that operationalize the research topic; the demonstration of a detailed research methodology addressing research instrument, sample size and sampling approach, research location/s and schedule as well as providing a critical assessment of the limitations of the methodology and the expected outcome of the research project.
All students need to follow below structure:
1. Introduction
2. Project Objective
3. Project Scope
4. Literature Review
(Students’ needs to summarise Assignment 1 literature review (2-3 pages) and justification From Assignment 1 literature problems, gaps opportunities, Hypothesis)
5. Research Questions/Hypothesis
- Primary Question (only one question)
- Secondary Questions (1, 2 ….)
Research questions should be linked to Literature Problems, Gaps, and Hypothesis
6. Research Design and Methodology
- Qualitative research
(Students should propose the Process of the Qualitative Research (Main Steps),
Approaches to reliability and Validity, Sampling, Sample Size, Data Collection
Method, Variables Specifications)
- Quantitative research
(Students should propose the process of the Quantitative Research Design Process
(Main Steps), Research Instrument, Quantitative Data Analysis Process, Sampling and
Simple Size, Interviewing and Questionary Design, Reliability and Validity of Data)
7. Research Limitations
8. Time Schedule (Research plan)
9. Conclusion
10. Reference List
11. Appendix
NOTE: Students are not with requirements to collect and analyse data
TASK 3 Individual Reflective Journal 1000 to 1500 words
Students are expected to write a weekly journal over the duration of the 12-week teaching period that documents a critical analysis of their learning process. In the journal students need to reflect/review how they have progressed with the learning goals related to assessments 1 and 2. Students need to write their individual reflective journal concurrently to performing assessment tasks 1 and 2, i.e. from the first week of the unit. For each week, students need to make journal entries that provide a reflection of their ‘journey’ of gaining, and applying knowledge of the research paradigm. For each week students should reflect and compare the theoretical knowledge with what they apply into practice. As assessment 1 and 2 are completed, students should clearly identify learning goals achieved.
Task 3 Reflective writing aims to get you to think about your learning and understand your learning experiences.
When students writing TASK 3 need to follow steps:
1. Evaluate the effectiveness and your usefulness of the learning experience
Make judgements that are clearly connected to observations you have made.
Answer the questions:
− What is your opinion about learning experience?
− What is the value of this experience?
2. Explain how this learning process will be useful to you
Consider: In what ways might this learning experience serve you in:
− Course
− Program
− Future career
− Life generally
Answer the question: ‘How you will transfer or apply your new knowledge and insights in the future?’
3. Describe objectively what happened in the learning process
Give the details of what happened in the learning process. Answer the question:
‘What you did, read, see, and hear?
4. Evaluate what you learn
Make judgments connected to observations you have made in the Business Research. Answer the question: ‘How Business Research was useful for your Research Learning Process?’
5. Explain your learning process:
New insights, connections with other learning, your feelings, hypotheses, conclusions
Answer the questions: ‘What was the reason you did particular activities (TASK 1, TASK 2?
6. Explain Plan how this learning you will applied
Comment on its relevance to your research subject, your course, future profession, life... Answer the question: ‘How might this learning apply in your future?’
