Finalizing the Action Research Proposal
Submit the assignment by 11:59 PM PT Sunday of Module 5.
As you finalize your action research proposal, ask yourself, Will I be able to trust the results? Will my project benefit stakeholders? Will my project benefit my practice?
Sharing the findings of your action research builds a culture of inquiry by engaging in reflection and feedback to generate new questions, provide new insights, and set the stage for ongoing improvement and further inquiry. For you to share the proposal with a professional audience, it must be as error-free as possible and publication-ready.
In each module assignment, you completed the elements of an action research proposal. In the Module 5 assignment, you will finalize your proposal. You will apply your own proofreading and editing skills and feedback from your faculty member in this process. You may also select an electronic editing program such as Grammarly for assistance. While beneficial as editing tools, these programs sometimes make errors, so review the corrections and comments carefully.
Step 1. Access and Review
Access and review the sections of your action research proposal from Modules 1-4.
Step 2. Compile
Follow the Action Research Proposal Outline to compile all the elements of your 10-page draft action research proposal in one Word document. The 10 pages do not include the title, reference, and appendix pages. Include these elements:
Introduction
Problem
Purpose
Research Question(s)
Literature Review (The conclusion of the literature review will include the best-practice solution or intervention strategy to be implemented in the study.)
Methodology and Design
Population and Professional Practice/Workplace Setting
Data Collection Plan
Data Analysis Model and Plan
Proposed Implementation Action Plan
Communication Plans
Reliability, Validity, and Ethics
Reflection on Collaboration
References
Step 3. Cite and Reference
Make sure you have all the references from all assignments included on your reference page(s). Then, check the in-text citations in your proposal and the reference page(s). There should be a one-to-one match between the in-text citations and references. If the reference is not cited in the body of the proposal, then it should not be included on the reference page(s). Proofread the reference page(s) for appropriate APA formatting.
Step 4. Review
Review the draft action research proposal using your own proofreading and editing skills and the feedback from your faculty member. You may also select an electronic editing program.
Step 5. Ask Your Mentor
Ask your mentor to review your proposal. A fresh set of eyes can work wonders! Make the necessary revisions.
Step 6. Apply
Apply your own revisions and the feedback from your faculty member to the action research proposal.
