This is the final Dissertation project, a proposal for which has already been submitted by me. I have made a questionnaire and distributed, and you will be using qualitative methodology to analyse it’s data for this project work.
research question developed in the Applied Proposal. The Applied Project should be 7000
words- excluding citations, reference list and bibliography. The Applied Project should
include:
• Analysis of data
• Discussion and interpretation of data
• Conclusions/recommendations
• Reflection
Include a 500-word summary of your Applied Proposal at the beginning of your
assignment. This should include a precis of background/context, objectives, conceptual
framework, and methodology. THIS IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE WORD COUNT.
This presents the application of your chosen methods or techniques to your raw data to
generate data summaries and findings. Examples of such techniques are Chi Square test
and Content Analysis. The outcome of your analysis provides the evidence that supports
the answer to your research questions. This section of the dissertation is about finding
things out by research, rather than discovering “ready-made” results reported in the
literature. The findings of the research undertaken should be presented in a clear and
unambiguous manner. Diagrams, charts, and tables should be employed, where
appropriate, to aid the reader in understanding these findings.
This should focus on drawing together the findings that have emerged from your analysis
and relating them to other previous studies identified earlier in the literature review. In
this chapter you are expected to show your capacity for reflective and logical argument.
This might include validating specific hypotheses advanced at the outset of the study or
summarising the degree to which assumptions advanced in the literature appear to be
borne out or contradicted by the findings. The interpretation of the research material
reflects your understanding of and your insights into the processes.
Your final conclusions should relate back to the aim and objectives of the study stated at
the Introduction. These should be strategic conclusions. They summarise your judgement
on the implications of the research outcomes to management and professional practice,
what options should be taken or what should be done in response to your strategic
questions. The strategic conclusions should be based on the new insight provided by your
research findings.
Personal critical reflection demonstrates critical analysis of professional development,
learning and forward planning derived from the unit. Your reflection should include:
-an identification and explanation of critical incidents,
-relate the incidents to your own skills, professional experience, and discipline knowledge
-reframe future practice and professional understanding.
