Continue with the research topic and proposal from assignment 1. Make sure you make necessary revisions if this is suggested in the assignment feedback. Conduct a full literature review, and based on the literature review, develop the research design for your research project. This assignment covers two main parts of the project reports. The first part is the literature review, and the second part is the research design.

The following structure is suggested for assignment 2:

  1. Title page
  2. Abstract
  3. Table of contents
  4. Chapter 1: Introduction (based on your assignment 1, i.e. background, research aims,and research questions, expected outcomes and contributions, proposed structure ofthe report)
  1. Chapter 2: Literature review
  2. Chapter 3: Research design (including three subsections for the conceptualframework, data collection, and analysis methods respectively)
  3. References list

There is no requirement for the number of references. Instead, the researcher should ensure that the full literature review in Chapter 2 covers at least the main references relevant to the research topic. In your literature review chapter, clearly explain what key words and databases have been used to search for relevant studies for your literature review.

The research design/methodology in Chapter 3 should explain and justify your research conceptual framework (if any) and your data collection and analysis methods. It is essential to show how all of these have benefited from the literature review presented in Chapter 2.

See the Essay/report assessment criteria sheet on the following page for information about the criteria and the standards by which your work will be judged.
