Discuss why the methodology you’ve chosen is best for the study you want to conduct. Be sure to include a discussion of the kind of data

Discuss why the methodology you’ve chosen is best for the study you want to conduct. Be sure to include a discussion of the kind of data

Clearly state which methodology you have chosen.

Discuss why the methodology you’ve chosen is best for the study you want to conduct. Be sure to include a discussion of the kind of data (qualitative/quantitative) you want, what the general aim of your project is (type of explanation/approach to inquiry), and an evaluation of how the methodology is best uses, strengths and weaknesses play into your project specifically.

Measurement

Nominal definitions of all major research concepts (i.e. the concepts in your research question)

Operational definitions of all major research concepts (i.e. the concepts in your research question)

Any demographic/non-directly research question related data you plan to collect (no need to operationally define your demographics; simply indicate which demographic variables you think will be important when describing your participants)

Subjects for Study

Clearly establish who you will be talking to.

If you are proposing a probability sampling design: discuss of who your population is and how you plan to sample them (study population and sampling frame).

If you are proposing a nonprobability design: explain who you will be sampling for data and your rationale. You most likely/may not have a specific population in mind per se, but you should have a logical rationale for respondent selection.

Clearly establish the sampling design you propose to use.

If you are proposing a probability sampling design: identify which selection method you will be using. Do you propose a sampling modification such as stratified or multistage cluster? If so, clearly state which and why this will aid in sample selection

If you are proposing a nonprobability design: identify which sampling method you’ve chosen and why it is appropriate for what you are attempting to achieve.

Given who you want to speak to, are there any ethical considerations you need to be mindful of when selecting respondents (special populations, issues with access to/identification of populations, etc.?) If so, you need to address it here and discuss what you as the researcher will be doing to ensure you are ethically compliant.

Here’s another kind of outline to use for this section – this outline has all the same information from the checklist, just laid out differently. Use what works best for you, leave what doesn’t. 🙂

Methodology

1 paragraph on method selected and why this is the best methodology for the question you’ve asked

1 paragraph on strengths and weaknesses of your selected methodology

Measurement

1 paragraph on the nominal and operational definitions used for research concept #1

1 paragraph on the nominal and operational definitions used for research concept #2

1 paragraph on demographic variables you will measure as well.

Subjects for study

1 paragraph where you outline who your subjects are and why you’ve chosen them to answer this question

1 paragraph on selected sampling methodology and how you plan to find participants.

1 paragraph on the ethical considerations you need to be mindful of given your subjects
