Topic

Develop a written proposal to conduct an aviation-related research project that is of

interest to you. You will then be required to make a short presentation to the class

that summarises your research proposal.

The Tasks Required

This Assessment involves three (3) sections or tasks which are described below.

1. Individual Research Problem and Research Question (10% total course mark)

Submit a brief description of the research problem and specific research question that

you have chosen to work on. This should be no longer than ONE PAGE (at least

1.5 spaced, 12 point font). You need:

– a Title,

– a section providing a clear argument for the aviation problem that you want

to address and,

– end with a clear statement of the aim of the project and the research question

you plan to address.

This should be submitted by 23:59hrs 18th August, 2017 (Week 4) through Moodle.

A hard copy must also be submitted either in class in Week 4 or to the Aviation

office by 5pm.

The Research Problem and Research Question will be assessed and marked and

feedback will be provided in-class in Week 5.

2. Research Proposal (30% of total course mark)

This is the major component of this Assessment. It should be a formal Research

Proposal set out under each of the headings described below. The proposal should

be no longer than 3,000 words (around 10 pages, double spaced, 12 point font), not

including References.

Literature Review

AVIA3710 Methods Aviation Research Proposal代写

Search for and select journal articles that describe research studies or reviews

relevant to your chosen research problem. The number of articles reviewed will

depend on your research topic, but is likely to be at least three to five for most

research problems. You will need to read each article, interpret it and develop an

argument that justifies and explains why you are asking your particular research

question. This section should end with a statement of your research aim and

research question as well as your hypotheses or expectations about the outcomes of

your study based on the literature review.

Proposed Methods and analysis

Describe the research methods you will undertake to answer your research question.

This section should be arranged in the following sections:

i) Study design

Describe your study in a few sentences. ie the “big picture”. This should include

the nature of your research design (eg., before-after, longitudinal, cross sectional

etc), what type of data being collected (eg., primary, secondary data or both), a

description of the variables you are measuring in the study and what type of

measurement scale for each variable you are measuring.

ii) Participants

Describe your proposed participants including the number you will include, gender

and age (eg., percentage male/female, age distribution) and any other relevant

characteristics for your research question (eg., experience, etc). Describe how

participants will be selected and recruited. Detail any ethical issues that might

arise from your study and how you will overcome them (eg., informed consent,

recruitment of volunteers etc.).

iii) Equipment or Apparatus used

Describe any equipment (eg simulator, real plane) and/or materials (eg

questionnaires, structured interviews) you will use in the study to collect the data.

iv) Procedure

Describe the procedure you will use to conduct the study. This should include

everything you will do, step-b-step, to run the study. Try to be as clear and

complete as possible.

v) Analysis

Briefly describe how you will analyse the results of the study. This should include

the comparisons you will make and how you will make them, including what

statistical tests you will use (if relevant).

Expected results and interpretation of findings

This should be a short description of how you will interpret your findings depending

on what your results show. For example, if your results support your expected

findings, what will you conclude about your research question? What will you

conclude if the results are not as you expect?

References

List here all of the journal articles you used for your literature review, and any other

literature you cite in the Proposal. You may use any Referencing style, as discussed

in class, but your citations in the document and references must be in consistent

style throughout your Proposal.

Submission and assessment

The Research Proposal should be submitted through Moodle by 23:59hrs 24rd

September, 2017 (end Week 9). A hard copy must also be submitted either in class

in Week 9 or to the Aviation office by 5pm (17:00hrs) on 22nd September, 2017.

Assessment of Research Proposals will be complete and results available through

Moodle by the end of Week 11 (13th October, 2017).

3. Seminar Presentation (10% of total course mark)

You will present a summary of your Research Proposal to the class in one of the last

two weeks of the Semester. You will be given a maximum of 5 minutes total

presentation time. This will include: 3 minutes maximum for presentation and

maximum of 2 minutes for questions.

Your presentation should include:

– a Title slide including the title of your Research proposal and your name

– up to three (3) additional slides showing details of your project sufficient for the

audience to understand what you are intending to do and why and how you will

interpret the results from your proposed study.

Allocation to presentation times will be by ballot. A presentation timetable will be

available on Moodle in Week 6.

Submission and assessment

Presentations will be assessed by the Course Coordinators. All members of the class

will also provide feedback and an overall grade on a five point scale for each

presentation. The average classmate mark will contribute 20 percent to the overall

mark for the presentation.

Assessment marks for the Seminar Presentation will be available by Moodle before

the AVIA3710 final examination.

Any Questions?

We will go through all requirements for this Assessment in detail in class in Week 1.

Please contact me in class or email if you have any further questions about this

Assessment.
