Design a small-scale research project, focusing on children and/or young people, which builds on the work you carried out for TMA 03, i.e. a small literature review
this module is the design of a small-scale research project, focusing on children and/or young people, which builds on the work you carried out for TMA 03, i.e. a small literature review. The project consists of three parts: an introduction (Part 1), a methodology proposal (Part 2) and an evaluation of the potential relevance of your project (Part 3). The introduction to your project will link back to the work you carried out for TMA 03, and your consideration of previous literature and rationale for the project will inform your choice of methodology. This will in turn lead onto your evaluation section. The whole project, which should be given a title, should be a maximum of 3000 words (excluding reference lists but including any appendices).
Note: you are not expected to include appendices. However, if there is material that you feel would be more appropriate in an appendix, rather than in one of the three parts, remember that the appendix must be included within the overall word count of 3000 words.
The three parts should have different word lengths. We suggest the following as a guideline:
Part 1: Introduction (around 500 words)
Part 2: Methodology proposal (around 2000 words); and
Part 3: Evaluation of the potential relevance of your proposed study (around 500 words).
You are strongly advised not to write more than the overall allocated word limit of 3000 words. If your EMA exceeds this length by more than ten per cent, the marker will award a mark based only on content up to that point. No credit can be given for any content more than ten per cent beyond the specified overall word limit. Detailed guidance is provided on how to approach each part of the project later in this guide.
Important note: you will NOT collect any data as part of your project. This EMA is a project proposal ONLY. You will not carry out the project but will demonstrate how it could be carried out in order to answer your research questions
