Research Proposal (Research Paper/Research Project)
Please choose a topic, formulate a descriptive title, and write a coherent research paper that will incorporate the following points:
1. Define the problem (One to two paragraphs)For the definition of the problem portion of this assignment, you need to describe and explain the problems associated with your topic.
2. Research question (at least one sentence)A research question is the main question that will guide the entire paper; therefore, it must be addressed, usually in the discussion or conclusion section. As such, a research question is neither a rhetorical question nor a survey question. Tip to writing a good research question: transform your thesis statement into question. Please, formulate one or two research questions only.

Drafting a Research Proposal
RESEARCH PROPOSAL (50%)
Required Component:
Research proposal (plus bibliography) (2,750 words)
Instructions:
This assessment gives you the opportunity to independently plan a research study and review how you would pursue this project. The research proposal should outline how you would conduct an innovative research project on a criminological topic, explain its relevance to existing literature, and discuss the methods and approach you would use.
The research proposal should include:
Your research question(s) with an explanation of why these are sociologically and criminologically interesting, making reference to relevant bodies of literature;
A literature review on the topic showing how your project would contribute to original and valuable knowledge in the field;
An account of the research design you propose to use to address these questions. You are encouraged to refer to pilot research that you have carried out in the course where appropriate (e.g., your ethnography or survey group work);
A discussion of the ethical issues raised by the research project;
An account of how you would plan to analyse the data;
A discussion of any practical problems you expect to come across during the research process and reflections on how you might address these (e.g., potential issues of access); and
A bibliography (Harvard style).

Technology in the classroom and social issues (Research Paper)
Focus on collecting articles, and dissertations about Technology in the classroom and social issues.
Compose a research question and subquestions, and design a plan for collecting and analyzing data for the research study using a particular methodology.
The goal of this assignment is to develop a draft of a full qualitative research proposal. The research proposal should be at least 15 pages (but not more than 25 pages), double-spaced, not including your title page, abstract, Appendix, and references page, and should contain the following sections:
A title page
Abstract
Rationale/Problem Statement: Explain your topic. Make a case for why this topic is important to you or your specialization area, etc. State your Research Problem.
Research Questions: Conclude your discussion of your research topic by identifying specific research question(s) and possibly sub-questions.
Literature Review: a minimum of four pages on 5-7 articles or edited book chapters, plus at least two dissertations: Your literature review should justify your study. Information should be drawn from appropriate sources, such as professional journals, books, and dissertations. Information gathered from literature sources must be appropriately cited, following APA guidelines. Provide a synthesized literature review on your topic making the case for why this study will add knowledge that will “fill a hole in the literature.”
Research Methodology: Describe what research methodology you are proposing to answer your research questions and why it is an appropriate method. In addition, include the following as a description of your research plan:
Participant Selection: If applicable, describe the site of the data collection. Explain who your participants will be and what method you will use to select them. Be as specific as possible as if you were giving directions to someone on how to choose and obtain the participants. Include instructions on how to get informed consent from the participants.
Data Collection: Discuss how you will collect the data (interviews, observations, documents, etc.). Tell what sort of questions you will ask (for interviews) or what you will look for (for observations) and why that will help you answer your research questions. Include the interview protocol (if applicable) including how to conduct interviews for your study and what questions will be asked in an Appendix.
Data Analysis: Provide a description of how you plan to code and/or analyze the data.
Methods of achieving validity: No research project is perfect. But how are you assuring that your study is as valid as possible?
Potential Ethical Problems: Could your participants be harmed by your research, either in carrying it out or affecting society after it is finished? Who are the audiences for your research, and do they have “objective” concerns for the practical implications and policy recommendations that you make? Address these and other possibly relevant questions of ethics.
Limitations: No research covers everything. What are the obvious limitations to your study? What will not be “proven” though your study?
References Page: The references page should be formatted according to APA style.
Appendix of your data collection protocol.
