For this assignment you are required to develop a Research Design Proposal, which after further work later in the course will become the third chapter of your final project, Chapter 3: Research Design and Methodology.
This chapter cannot be finalized until the actual research involved has been completed as part of your work in Modules 4 and 5. You will have to return to Chapter 3 in Module 6 and write a final draft before you submit the final capstone.
At this stage, you should be making an initial determination of the following:
research perspective
research type
research method
After making an initial determination of which perspective, type and method are best suited for your purposes, you will start to develop your research design proposal, which is a specific plan for studying a research problem that has been identified.
