Introduction (1-2 pages)
Brief overview of your research topic (Address how significant and timely your topic is. Why does this topic speak to you? etc.) and
Any gaps that have remained unaddressed as well as the need to address them (With reading previous studies in your topic, what has unanswered and understudied -> This will give you rationale why you want to study your topic)
Establish the significance of your research
Literature Review (3-4 pages with at least 8 sources)
Summarize and synthesize: Give an overview of the main points of each source and combine them into a coherent whole. Here, you are expected to analyze and interpret. Don’t just paraphrase other researchers. Add your own interpretations where possible, discussing the significance of findings in relation to the literature as a whole. Critically evaluate each source, mentioning the strengths and weaknesses of your sources. Write in well-structured paragraphs: Use transition words and topic sentence to draw connections, comparisons, and contrasts. In your final paper, you are expected to include at least five academic sources and three popular sources.
Summarize the key findings you have taken from the last part and connect it back to your research questions. Introduce your at least three RQs here.
Method (1-2 pages)
This is the section that provides the information by which a study’s validity is judged. It requires a clear and precise description of how your study was done and the rationale for why specific articles were chosen to answer your RQs. Describe the reflections of each research paper and show their “connections” to your study topic and RQs.
Result (2-3 pages)
Report the findings of your study based upon the information gathered as a result of method you applied.
Simply state the findings without your bias – What is all the answers for your RQs?
Discussion / Conclusion (1-2 pages)
Interpret and describe the significance of your findings in light of what was already known about the research problem being investigated, and to explain any new understanding or fresh insights about the problem after you’ve taken the findings into consideration. The discussion will always connect to the introduction by way of the research questions you posed and the literature you reviewed, but it does not simply repeat or rearrange the introduction; the discussion should always explain how your study has moved the reader’s understanding of the research problem forward from where you left them at the end of the introduction.
