Assignment - Chapter three is "Data sources identified"
Chapter 3 of the MRP should be much wider. You are supposed to use a wide rage of academic studies including refereed journals articles devoted to the same research problem and investigate how different authors have approached this topic. You need to contrast their research types and methods used, identify their limitations and justify your research design in this regard. The chapter 3 should be very clear and detailed in terms of your data collection and data analysis methods, you need to argue why these methods fit your research questions.
As per my guidelines and materials in this class the Chapter 3 should provide detailed and specific answers to the following guiding questions:
- Is there a clear rationale for the research design and methodology?
- Are the research methods fully described and the advantages and disadvantages of chosen methods discussed?
- Are any constraints or limitations identified?
- Are the relevant research instruments (eg. blank questionnaire, interview questions etc) included in the appendices? Are the research instruments well designed with all questions etc. relevant to research objectives?
- Are sampling methods described in detail? ie. who the respondents are, how many there are and how they were selected?
- Are data analysis methods discussed?
- Is there evidence of care and accuracy in the data collection process? Are reliability and validity issues addressed?
- Has the methodology been critically evaluated in retrospect?
Chapter 3 should contains 3000 word excluded (Cites and references).
