Assessment Details

Background
The research report provides a detailed description of a proposed research idea. It is similar to an essay and needs to be in a formal style with introduction, body and conclusion. In addition it requires a critical analysis and a coherent presentation.

Requirements
Each group is required to submit a mini research report (2500-3000 words excluding the title, abstract, table of contents and references/bibliography). The purpose of this task is to assist students to prepare and write a scholarly paper at an appropriate standard for this level of study.

You have already done quite a bit of work for this research in tutorials: you should have a tentative research issue, strategies and evidence to persuade your readers about the significance of the problem you're researching, as well as the validity of your research issues. You also should consider opposing views or good counter-arguments that you can address in order to help establish your credibility and enhance the relevance of your paper.

A. Report Layout
The mini research report must contain the following sections, submitted in the order as listed below-
• Title - selection of an informative title
• Abstract - summarization of the significant concepts in the proposed study focusing on key aspects (300 words max)
• Introduction - outline of the thesis, problem, research question, etc. (stating the thesis/theory in terms of relationship among variables and examining the problem or investigating the question, or the like) and preview of the structure of the paper.
• Literature Review- demonstration of the ability to find significant sources, familiarity with the existing body of knowledge, analysis of existing research, and learning through a careful reading of existing scholarship.
• Methodology- procedures and processes undertaken in your investigation/study including the research design- study type, variables, and data collection methods (as applicable).
• Discussion and implications of research - Discuss with reasons whether your study needs Ethics clearance. Discuss findings that might occur and their potential impact on the field
• References- include relevant literature sources (in-text citation and a list of full- text references)
• Appendices (if applicable) - tables, graphs, charts or any other- related to the study not included in the main paper but referred to.
