Is the conceptual model clarifying and does it fit with the research questions?

Introduction (8% = 1,200 Words)

1.1 Problem Statement (Level 2)

State the importance of the problem, including theoretical or practical implications (justification). Then state the research objective and research question(s). This is an exercise of finding gaps that worth researching (e.g., “research has been focusing on X1 but little attention has been paid to X2) = problem. Then, provide reasons why that is relevant (e.g., This has implications in Y… Therefore, it is worth researching on X2 and its consequences in Y since reason a, b, c…). The justification is basically stating what your research contributes to the understanding of a specific problem.

  • Is the research problem scientifically relevant?
  • Is the research problem framed within international literature?
  • Does the research problem contain a description of the problem?
  • Does the research problem consider existing international solutions for the identified problem and the shortcomings?
  • Does the research problem address the central research objective?

Chapter 2 – Literature Review (23% = 3,450 Words)

Introduce the following subsections by providing a review of relevant scholarship: relation to previous work and differences between the current report and earlier reports if some aspects of this study have been reported previously. Keep in mind that along this section and or subsections you will eventually state hypotheses derived from the literature. Do it strategically since you should connect that with the research design (next section).

  • Is the literature review analytic and integrated in one story?
  • Does the literature review describe the theoretical added value and the research gaps within the scientific literature?
  • Is the literature review up-to-date and innovative?
  • Does the literature review address one (or more) leading theories/models?
  • Does the literature review and/or the hypotheses/presuppositions lead in a logical manner to the research questions?

Literature:

  • What is essential to know (background) in order to understand what this study is supposed to accomplish
  • Digital Education Action Plan 2021
  • Reflection tools – general
  • SELFIE
