1. [From 10$/Pg] ‘ Analysing Research Data
[From 10$/Pg] ‘ Analysing Research Data The summative assessment will be in the form of
a 4000-word research proposal. The proposal should include as a minimum: Background,
literature review/rationale, aims and objectives, research question or hypothesis, research
methodology, methods, consideration of ethics, governance issues, validity / reliability /
trustworthiness and reflection on your role in the process. (Module Learning Outcomes 1-
7). The following is a suggested structure for the work.Title: A clear title for the research
protocol which clearly addresses the variables and concepts that are being
researched.Background: an outline for the key drivers and need for the research proposal.
This may include key political, professional, clinical and service user drivers for the
research project. Literature review: a critical discussion of the research literature that
forms the foundations for your proposal. This will inform the rationale for the research
project and explore how it builds on existing knowledge and /or practice. In other words,
your critical reading and summarising of the literature will show what is known, as well as
what is not yet known about your particular topic. Module learning outcomes 2 (critically
appraised the research literature in a specific area of public health / healthcare
management) and 4 (demonstrated advanced competence in the location, retrieval and
management of literature from a variety of sources) Aims and Objectives: a clearly
articulated outline of the aims and objectives of the research proposal which will clearly
derive from literature review.Research Question / Hypothesis: Clearly defined question (s)
that is specific to the study in order to provide data that will provide answers. The research
question or hypothesis will also indicate the kind of empirical evidence which you are
proposing to collect. The research question or hypothesis will frame the boundaries of the
research project (what it is / isn’t about). Methodology: This will provide the philosophical
and theoretical orientation of the research project that will inform the study design and the
methods used to collect data (this is what we explore in the ‘thinking about research’ part of
the module). This needs to build on the literature review, in that the methodological
approach you adopt needs to clearly help answer your research question(s). Module
learning outcomes 1 (demonstrates a critical awareness and evaluation of a range of
philosophical research approaches to enquiry) and 3 (demonstrates a systematic
understanding of evidence based knowledge to critically justify the choice of a research
methodology to apply to a specific public health /healthcare management issue) Methods:
Here you should discuss what we explore in the ‘doing research’ and‘analysing research
data’ parts of the module. You should cover sampling and recruitment strategies, inclusion
2. and exclusion criteria, data collection methods and process for analysing the data. It is
important to explore issues of reliability and validity with regard to empirical data and the
research process, and the feasibility of carrying out the research. This section will also
include a consideration of the key ethical concerns associated with the study together with
the strategies and processes that will be implemented to address those concerns. These may
relate to issues of confidentiality, anonymity, capacity and consent, vulnerable populations
etc. Governance issues will relate to the organisational and political processes that govern
the research processes. Module learning outcomes 5 (Identifies ethical issues arising and
strategies for their management) and 6 (critically evaluates appropriate methods of data
collection and data analysis). Discussion: this includes a critical reflection on your role in
the research process together with a commentary on your development as a researcher and
the strategies that you will implement in order to conduct the research project. Module
learning outcome 7 (critical reflection on your role within the research process).
