Document Summary
Before writing a research proposal it is helpful to consider how to go about the process. It is important to have a general structure or outline of the topics. The writer should be aware of good writing practices that will ensure a consistent and readable paper. Chapter four begins with a discussion of outlining the major points that need to be addressed in a proposal. The chapter goes on to discuss formatting of qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods proposals. Writing strategies and ethical issues at different phases of the project are also explored. It is helpful to plan the major points to be presented in the proposal. Format for a quantitative proposal: conforms to sections typically found in quantitative studies reported in journal articles. Format for a mixed methods proposal: the researcher brings together approaches included under quantitative and qualitative formats. Designing the sections of a proposal: tips for students, specify sections early in the design of the proposal.
