Part 3

  
Below the problem description, type the heading “Problem Documentation.” In this section, discuss the evidence that was collected that confirms the existence and nature of the problem. Note that any instrument that you developed to collect data should be approved by your instructor before use and should be included in an appendix when the research project is submitted in final form in CIT 610. No copyrighted material should be included without written permission from the copyright holder. This evidence is your pretest data. Now create a bulleted list presenting data that indicate the inadequate or objectionable behaviors of the target group for quantitative studies. If a qualitative study, indicate the participant you intend to interview, what you plan to learn from them and how you will collect this data. Ensure that only hard evidence is presented here and not opinion. The evidence should be sufficient to provide six to eight or more bullets. If you have 100 or more participants, use percentages. If you have fewer than 100, use actual numbers. Now generate a section entitled “Anticipated Outcomes/Findings and Evaluation Instruments.” In one sentence, state your goal. It should be closely aligned with your problem statement. In a paragraph below the goal, explain in general terms how you expect the work setting to look after you have solved or improved the problem. In the next paragraph, generate a bulleted list of expected outcomes or findings. The items in this list should align one-to-one with those of the bulleted list that presented evidence of the inadequate or objectionable behaviors of the target group. Conclude Chapter 1 with a paragraph on measurement of outcomes or findings to be analyzed. Here you will describe how you intend to measure your results after implementation or analyze your interview/observation findings. Be sure to apply guidelines formulated by the American Psychological Association regarding citations in text, reference list entries, and writing style
