Product Description "What are the core elements of a strong proposal?" "How can I accent the strengths of my study design?" "How can computer use facilitate my literature review?" "What is the best way to get my proposal reviewed and approved?" You will find the answers to these and other key issues in this unique "assembly manual" for crafting a complete and convincing dissertation proposal. Three extensively annotated proposals of former students provide examples of the guidance offered and illustrate common types of studies. Whether you study best by example, review, memorization, or problem solving, this book's format enables you to follow your own pace and style. This is no ordinary step-by-step guide. The authors begin by identifying and defining the basics of a dissertation proposal. With careful consideration, they explore proposal functions and parts, show how to build your study's chain of reasoning, and carefully review alternate study designs. Chapters are devoted to qualitative studies: (sectioned into case studies, philosophical, and historical investigations); quantitative studies: (sectioned into experimental, causal modeling, and meta-analysis studies); and mixed-method studies: (sectioned into: sample survey, evaluation, development, and demonstration and action projects). | ||

Doctor Moss I've been reading this book to help me prepare for the doctoral dissertation. So far, it has been very helpful and guided me to a better understanding of writing this document. I can highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get a head start on writing a proposal for a research paper. | ||
One of the most useful Dissertation guides! This book is perfect for doctoral candidates in education who are preparing for their dissertation proposal. The book offers plenty of practical advise along with a guide to help you complete the process. It explains small details that committee members and other professors may overlook or forget to mention. This is truly a great "WORKBOOK" and road map. | ||
Highly recommended! I recommend this book to ALL my PhD. students. I recommend it to you! Your university's specific format may differ, but a dissertation proposal guided by this book will be thorough and conceptually useful as a road map for the dissertation itself. | ||
Challenging book The authors should have considered a non-native reader in preparing this book. I feel that this book would be good, but because of long and complex sentences, the readers, especially, non-native readers, must be challenged.In order to share a lot of ideas the authors suggested with readers as much as possible, the authors ought to revise this book with simple structures, short sentences, and plain English. | ||
