Assignment: Research Proposal Part 2
In Part 1 of your research proposal, you established the need for further study in your literature review and mapped out your problem statement, research question, and methodological approach. Now you expand on that foundation by including your plans for sampling, data collection, and ethical and cultural considerations.
You also do a bit of reflection in Part 2—first by anticipating the results of your study and what you’d expect to find, and second by reflecting on the research process and what you have learned. For instance, to what extent has your understanding of research deepened? Does the research process seem more valuable now after having built your own proposal? Consider these questions as you complete your full research proposal, adding information to the Part 2 sections.
To Prepare:
• Review the Learning Resources on measurement, data collection, and bias-free language.
• Access and reflect on Part 1 of your research proposal.
• Consider what you have learned about research by conceptualizing and planning a research study in this manner. Anticipate what the proposed study’s results might be.
• Add content to Part 2 of your Research Proposal document.
I have provided attachment as well to help complete the assignment.
Assignment 2 to 3 pages
Submit the second part of your research proposal including the following sections in 2 to 3 pages:
• Sampling and Sampling Method (1–2 paragraphs)
• Data Collection (1 paragraph)
• Ethics and Cultural Considerations (1–2 paragraphs)
o What ethical and/or cultural issues need to be considered? How will you address those issues in your study?
• Discussion (1 paragraph)
o If you were to conduct the study, what would you expect the results to show? What would you do if the data didn’t align with your expectations?
• Reflection (1 paragraph)
o What did you learn about research through this process?
This is the questions asked from the teacher based on the discussion post that was provided .
Semi-structured interviews are a great way to acquire respondents’ experiences to develop an in-depth understanding of your concept (suicide prevention).
1.What are other ways you can strengthen the results of the study? Consider reviewing the triangulation method.
2. How would you include this as part of your methodological approach?
Hello students, here is a great video discussing steps for measuring your variables. It emphasizes quantitative methodological approaches.
For those of you using qualitative methods, find below a link identifying varying qualitative research methods for measuring
The center point of research studies is the body of data collected to answer the research question. Without data, there would be no study. So… what might be the best way to acquire data for your purposes? Each has its own advantages and disadvantages in terms of timeframe, cost, and bias. You also must consider whether there is an established data collection instrument for you to use (such as an existing test or survey), or whether you plan to develop your own—and if so, how you will test for reliability and validity.
Question to be answer from colleagues
Respond to 2 colleagues by
1.providing feedback on their choice of measurement and data collection method.
2. identify one cultural aspect they will need to consider when collecting data.

competence or can be stumbling blocks in your work with people. Assess your cultural
competence by responding to the following:

You should discuss the following points:
What is the shared undesirable condition faced by people who have this problem? What must they face that other people don’t have to?
Who are the people (the social group) who have this problem?

Overview: The UN Trafficking Protocol provides an integrated framework for fighting human trafficking through a 3-pronged strategy of prevention of trafficking, prosecution of traffickers, and protection of victims. The goal of this assignment is to identify examples that are being taken at the local, regional, and/or international level to fight
human trafficking, and prepare a brief report.
Assignment:
Write a report on a human trafficking initiative of your choice
1. Conduct on-line research to identify one specific initiative(found down below) to fight human trafficking at the local level. The initiatives can be by non-governmental, governmental, or supranational groups or organizations, and can focus on one or more types of trafficking. HINT: Select an initiative that engages in different types of actions at different
levels, so you can relate them to the various aspects of the UN strategy. View the following website to identify initiatives:
