Please use the sample as a guide since the questions are not fully accurate based on my research question: Use the sample as a guide to see how my classmate did her paper so you can understand how to do mine:
pick 1 of the Research questions: to focus on: 1. How do sensory processing differences contribute to social communication challenges in individuals with autism spectrum disorder, and what interventions can effectively address these issues?
2. How does early intervention impact long-term outcomes for individuals diagnosed with autism?
Teacher feedback: I would focus on questions 1 and 2 Perhaps you can take a general search of the research out there in the library database of research studies on these questions to see which direction you will land if the topic is broad enough to find some studies. It sounds like you will do a macro project so your literature review will be a synthesis of the literature, and the results section will be a synthesis of recommendations and results from the studies you review since you won’t be implementing an action research project. If you are going to implement this in your current setting, then there would be an implementation period, and you would discuss your data and results in the results section.
NOTE: In a micro-project, it is very important that both baseline data (data collected prior to intervention) and Action Research data (data collected during intervention) are the same. You can choose 1 hour of the day to collect data. Alternatively, in the case of an academic skill, do a pre-test and then periodically use that same test to monitor the progress the student is making over time. Make sure that if you are observing behavior as your data collection tool, that you choose the same time of the day to observe behavior and conduct observations of the behavior daily.
Research Proposal
– In this plan, after you have received the go-ahead from me, choose one academic/behavioral area on which you will work with a focus student for the remainder of the semester. Select or design a method of measurement based on your research question. Make sure your project is viable given a six or seven week period of time in which the project will be implemented. The Research Proposal should contain (use the following headings in your paper):
Demographics:
Clear Statement of the Problem (issue), including the questions you have and a rationale: Why did you select this problem or question? Why is it important? (Provide some details regarding student or populations, etc.)
Write a clear research question. What do you want to discover through your study?
What types of data will you use? How will this data provide you with evidence that the technique you are studying is working or not working?
2. Literature Review DRAFT (six page maximum)
Begin your paper with your research question and rationale. Add supporting details such as grade level of students, teaching placement and any other relevant information on the school context.
Supporting Research and Scholarship: Search for studies that either prove or disprove the usefulness of your chosen technique or method. Summarize relevant research and scholarship as it pertains to your problem or question. What, if any, research has been done on this topic? Were the results satisfactory? What does the literature suggest about possible solutions or actions? Make a case for your research proposal.
Summary: Provide a summary of your research in one paragraph
