This is a Research Proposal and it needs to be corrected as per the feedback received. Below are the feedbacks for the sections included in the proposal:
Introduction: Nice introduction. Some minor APA errors in your references list.
Literature Review: There is much here that is good. You have a nice outline, but your execution is problematic. This is supposed to be a literature review, yet you didn’t hardly cite anything. Additionally, there are sources in your references list that are not cited in text. You do connect your assertions to your research question, but it seems like this reads more like a report of your thoughts on a variety of articles rather than reporting what specific studies found.
Methods(4-5 pages): This does not follow the conventions of the assignment as presented in the module. Furthermore, none of your methodological choices are supported with citations.
Conclusion(1-2 page): Not graded yet but should follow the below guidelines
The conclusion summarizes your study and helps the reader understand how it all goes together. You should include:
1. The actual research question(s)
2. How your design will answer your request question
3. What you hope to learn as a result of writing this proposal
4. Ways you plan to disseminate the research (presentation/publication/grant/etc.).

**The Methods section needs to be rewritten completely and should follow the below guidelines:
Your methods section will explain the specific methods you will use to answer your research question and also justify how those methods will answer your research question. Use appendices to include your specific instruments and then reference those appendices in the text of your document. At minimum you should include:
1. A description of participants
2. Recruitment methods
3. Research design
4. Instrument development
5. A detailed description of the protocol you will follow
6. Plans for analyzing your data (specific statistical tests tests/qualitative methods) and citations that demonstrate that the analytical methods will be effective in answering
your research question.
7. Your own positionality and how it could affect your research
8. Potential limitations you foresee and plans to deal with roadblocks

**Detailed explanation about Methods section:
Participants & Recruitment:
-Who are your potential participants?
-How would you recruit them to take part in the study?
-What are your consent procedures?
Research Design:
-What is your overarching research design?
-Quantitative: experimental, quasi-experimental, other?
-Qualitative: which approach?
Instrument Development:
-How did you get the instrument you’re going to use?
-Adapted? Resused? Self-created?
-If created yourself, did you base the questions on something?
-How do each of the questions relate to the research question?
Plans for Data Analysis:
-Quantitative: Which statistical tests and why are they correct choice?(Note:only one test is okay!)
-Qualitative: How do you plan to code your data? Is there a conceptual framework that inspires your codes? Might you have a defined list of codes from which you’re starting?
Positionality(1 Paragraph):
-What parts of your lived experience are related to how you view the research question?
Potential Limitations:
-What might be some issues with sampling, recruitment, data collection, analysis?
-Limitations aren’t necessarily bad, we just need to acknowledge that they exist
