I‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‍. Research Question: The research question should normally be school- or classroom-based. In other words, it is expected that the focus of the research will be based on a specific area of inquiry or problem of practice related to your school or classroom. II. Introduction (ending with question): In this section you explain why you are proposing this project. You explain what the project is about and articulate the specific question you are researching. This section should also include why this question should matter to others as well. Typically, this is accomplished by starting with the largest idea that the question is embedded in and then drilling down to your specific question. That question should be fairly close to the end of the introduction. (1-2 pages) III. Literature Review/Conceptual Framework: This is the part of the project proposal where you give the larger context or background for the research questions. You report what other scholars, researchers, and theorists have said about the issue. This literature review should include 7-10 professional scholarly works (peer-reviewed research articles, research reports, or research-based books). This section should be written, not to generally cover the field, but to cover the field with your question in mind. This section outlines the big picture of what you are exploring as well as the details. This is where you clarify and define key terms that will be used, often ‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‍based on the work of other scholars but also specific to your project. It is important that this section is written from the point of view of the large concepts framing your project, not simply a listing of the ideas of various authors. This section integrates the work of others in creating the conceptual framework that shapes your work on the question. This section also ends with the research question and any hypotheses that you may have (5-7 pages). IV. Methodology: This section outlines what you propose to do to answer the question. This includes a description of the data collection process and how you anticipate analyzing that data. This section should have enough detail that another researcher could reproduce your work by following the description of your methods. This description also plays a role in showing how you demonstrate that the project findings are trustworthy. (2-3 pages). V. Conclusion: This section will include a discussion of the anticipated results from the study. This may take the form of an educated hypothesis or of a description of possible outcomes of the study. This section should also include a discussion of how you anticipate sharing the results of the study with the broader community. This might include colleagues, administrators, parents, or other stakeholders in your school community. If the study focuses on a broader context, you should explain how you might disseminate the research findings‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‍.
