Title
This is your introduction. Your introduction should introduce readers to the main focus of your proposal. Make it interesting. Try to “draw” the reader in…… Make sure you write in 3rd person (don’t use words like I, me, us, we, you, etc.). This introduction should center on your general topic and problem statement. [At the end of a section, maybe write a summarizing paragraph that also provides a transition to the next section.]
Review of Literature:
[Notice that each paragraph is indented]. This section provides a
ief history of the problem statement. You should summarize what others have written/studied about the topic. Don’t just list each study. But try to provide a structure of how they relate to the topic as well as to each other….. Remember to focus on the authors (for example, don’t say… in an article, blah blah but rather say Smith XXXXXXXXXXargued that ……..). What did the authors conclude? Or what were the facts? Don’t list the title of the work unless it is famous – readers can get this information from the reference page.
Problem, Theory, Variables, and Hypothesis:
This section will contain a discussion of your problem in the context of theory, variables and hypothesis. You should
iefly restate your problem statement and inform the reader of the general theory or theories relating to the problem. Once the theory has been described, you are ready to introduce the specific variables, independent and dependent. [It is best to have a separate heading within this section for each aspect so that the reader can easily identify what aspect you are discussing.]
Problem Statement: This component should describe the problem in simple terms. Remember that you have already discussed this in the introduction section, thus, you are just providing a simple statement so that the reader has a reminder of the general focus.
Theory: This component should provide a general theory relating to the problem. Make the connection in general terms of the problem and the abstract concepts (which will later be your variables).
Variables and Hypothesis:
In simple terms, you need to identify what the independent variable is. Just use 1 sentence and identify the independent variable.
The independent variable is ________________.
If possible, it is best to include the “indicator” of how this variable will be measured.
The dependent variable is structured similarly to the independent variable. In simple terms, you need to identify what the dependent variable is. Just use 1 sentence and identify the dependent variable.
The dependent variable is ________________.
If possible, it is best to include the “indicator” of how this variable will be measured.
Hypothesis: This component is the linking of the independent variable to the dependent variable. A hypothesis expresses the “expected” relationship between the two variables in a measurable and testable manner. The key to this statement is wording it so that it can be tested. It is best to use the following structure:
Subjects with ______ are more/less likely to ______ than subjects without _____.
References
References go on a separate page. The line spacing is called a hanging indent. The reference formats are co
ect including lack of capitalization in titles except for the first word, lack of quotation marks, and italics for books or journal names. Also note the author’s last name is first on the line and the list is in alphabetical order. You should have at least 5.
