Assessment Details
Background
The report requires a critical analysis of literature relevant to a proposal. The purpose
of the task is to help students identify and analyse relevant literature to assist in
determining an appropriate topic for the research proposal.
Requirements
You are required to submit:
• An interim research proposal (50-350 words) to provide context for your choice
of literature. If working as a team, make sure to indicate what the multiple
lines of investigation will be.
• A synthesis matrix (as described in class). This should discuss at least 6
articles, and at least 5 or 6 main ideas discussed in those articles. Choose
your articles carefully – these should be relevant to the core ideas of your
chosen topic, and as far as possible published in reputable, peer-reviewed
sources. If you have concerns about the quality of an article, discuss this with
your tutor during lab classes.
• A list of references named in the synthesis matrix. These should be in APA
referencing style.
You have already done quite a bit of work for this research in tutorials: you should
have a tentative research issue, strategies and evidence to persuade your readers
about the significance of the problem you’re researching, as well as the validity of your
research issues. You also should consider opposing views or good counterarguments
that you can address in order to help establish your credibility and enhance the
relevance of your paper.

The submission must contain the following sections, submitted in the order as listed
below-
• Title – proposal title (10 words maximum)
