Writing a Proposal for Your Dissertation: Guidelines and Examples - Steven R. Terrell

This user-friendly guide is designed to assist students in successfully completing a doctoral dissertation proposal. Steven R. Terrell provides accessible explanations of the process and breaks it down into manageable steps. The guide demonstrates how to write each chapter of the proposal, including the problem statement, purpose statement, research questions and hypotheses, literature review, and a detailed plan for data collection and analysis. It also includes end-of-chapter exercises that serve as building blocks for developing a full draft of an original proposal. Numerous case study examples are drawn from across the social, behavioral, and health science disciplines. Additionally, appendices present an exemplary proposal written three ways to encompass quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods designs.

Pedagogical Features:

• "Let's Start Writing" exercises leading up to a complete proposal draft.
• "Do You Understand?" checklists of key terms plus an end-of-book glossary.
• End-of-chapter quizzes with answers.
• Case study examples from education, psychology, health sciences, business, and information systems.
