Using the Internet, research literature reviews and writing research proposals.

To design a credible study, a research proposal needs to be developed.

Develop a research proposal by completing the following tasks:

• Decide on a topic and form a hypothesis.
• Test that hypothesis through data analysis—your hypothesis may or may not be correct, but you will not know that before you complete your data analysis.
• Identify the independent and dependent variables of the hypothesis.
• Determine the unit of analysis for your study.

Design the first part of a study using quantitative data on a topic of interest to you. Complete each of the following parts of the design:

• Topic
• Research question
• Hypothesis
• Independent variable for the hypothesis
• Dependent variables for the hypothesis
• The unit of analysis for your study

 Provide substantial feedback to your classmates about their topic and approach.

 Answer the following questions using your experience in designing a study's proposal:

• How do you conduct a proper literature review?
• What is the process, from beginning to end?
• Why is the literature review so important?

 Part 2

Locate and read two articles of original research from at least two different sources mentioned in the text, such as journal articles, monographs, a reader, or a dissertation. Each article should be from a different source.

• Post your research articles. Based on your readings, answer the following questions:
  • What are the differences in the structures of the articles?
  • How do you evaluate a source of reliability?
  • Which resources do you like the most?
  • Which resources do you like the least? Make sure you explain your reasoning.
  • What are the steps involved in the literature review process?
• Choose two topics that are not researchable. Explain why they are not researchable.
