| T-W-1 | Quantitative Research. Proposals that are written in chapters are the most common but will differ in their content by disciplines and also by the type of proposal (i.e. quantitative or qualitative research). Students should work closely with the research adviser to determine the specific content required for the type of research to be conducted and for the discipline. The proposal is often the first three to four chapters of the student’s thesis or dissertation. The proposal is discussed in terms of what “will be” done in conducting the research. | 3 |
| T-W-2 | Qualitative Research. Qualitative research proposals may vary considerably, yet they do contain some common features. The specific theoretical framework selected for qualitative studies significantly influences the content of the proposal. | 3 |
