As I am nearing a proposal for my research project (which I hope to have later today for feedback), I am now turning some attention to one of the more anxiety-causing elements of a research project — the outline / headings used in the paper.
This is the organizational structure which is used as an outline, and into which I feed the specs for the project itself, and I find that my understanding of this skafolding and how it is used is developing, so I know there is not a single framework that will work in all cases for all projects. Nevertheless, this is what I have in mind now:
Abstract
Introduction
1. Research Problem
2. Aim / Significance
3. Purpose
Literature Review
Research Design
1. Philosophical Worldview
2. Theoretical Lens
3. Strategy of Inquiry
4. Research Method
5. Research Questions
Data Collection
Analysis and Interpretation
1. Reliability, Validity, and Generalizability
Findings
1. Next steps
Conclusion / Learnings
Any feedback on this outline will be appreciated.
