Develop a research question, narrowed to investigate a particular topic/issue ad

Develop a research question, narrowed to investigate a particular topic/issue addressing a current educational challenge involving related to special education with a focus on collaboration or communication. Submit your research question/topic and a detailed outline.
Research question details: In developing a research question, be sure to do a thorough review of your chosen topic. Pay particular attention to the historical context of this topic. As you review the research, what questions come to mind? Questions such as why, what, when, and how are good starting places. Develop a research question/topic that can be answered from your research.
Outline details: Once you have a research question, you will develop an outline. The outline should include the sections found below. Please do not use this wording as headings in your actual paper, but use them when developing the outline. This is the general outline that almost all research articles follow and that you will generally follow when writing your dissertation.
1. Statement of the problem: Why should the reader care about your research question?
a. Present data to support why your topic is important.
b. For example, you could say, “Students identified with EBD are far more likely to be unemployed, have poor social connections, and end up incarcerated after graduation (CITE, 2020). Therefore it is important to understand how best to prepare students with EBD for their transition from school to post-school life.”
2. State the research question: This should be a clear one-sentence statement of what question you are seeking to answer in your paper.
a. This question should be logically connected to your statement of the problem, with the information provided later in the paper.
b. You can pick a general topic you are interested in, but your specific research question should be guided by the journal articles you read.
c. The research question is usually placed as the concluding sentence of your introduction paragraphs where you state the problem.
3. Present the research you find
a. How has this issue developed over time?
b. How does this issue relate to collaboration/communication?
c. Present actual data and results from research studies to support your narrative
d. This will be the longest section of the paper and what is in this section will be determined by your topic. For example, if you are researching effective methods of early reading instruction you could include the following sections. Due to the length of the assignment, each of these sections may be limited to a paragraph or two.
i. What is involved in learning to read?
ii. Why do some students struggle to read?
iii. What methods have been used to teach reading throughout the history of SPED?
iv. What methods have the most research support? Provide descriptions of some research studies’ research questions, methods, and findings.
v. If we know this method is effective, how do we help teachers implement this in the classroom? (i.e., collaboration)
4. Discussion/Biblical Worldview
5. Conclusion
Submit your research question/topic/outline in a Word document in current APA format. Include a title page and reference page. Your outline must contain at least five main points (i.e., I, II, III) with references and at least 3 sub-points (i.e., A, B, C) under each main point. Use the Collaboration and Communication: Historical Review Outline Example as your guide. Also see the Collaboration and Communication: Historical Review Assignment Instructions and Collaboration and Communication: Historical Review Grading Rubric for more information.
