Data analysis is a critical element of the research process. When data are analyzed accurately, the findings and results are more reliable and valid.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You have composed the first three parts of your action research proposal paper in this course. In this assignment, you will add to your 13- to 14-pages from Module 3 to submit your completed 18- to 20-page paper, not including the title page or reference page(s).<\/strong><\/p>\n

You will compose a plan for how you will analyze the data you outlined in the data collection plan; propose an action plan for future implementation; discuss reliability and validity; identify and reflect on a potential target audience who may benefit from the study\u2019s findings; and reflect on the action research process.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this assignment, you will compose the Module 4 sections from the <\/span>Action Research Proposal Paper Template<\/a>, including the appendix with the proposed action plan.<\/p>\n

Step 1
<\/strong>Read your instructor\u2019s feedback on your paper\u2019s progress in the Module 3 assignment. If needed, adjust your work before moving forward.<\/p>\n

Step 2
<\/strong>Review the required readings, the presentations, and the following resources for this assignment:<\/p>\n

Qualitative Data Analysis Models<\/a><\/p>\n

Descriptive Statistics and Quantitative Data Analysis<\/a><\/p>\n

Reliability and Validity Comparison Table and Glossary<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 3
<\/strong>Compose the new sections of your APA-formatted paper. Incorporate in-text citations and add to your reference page. Use the bracketed text from the paper template to prompt your writing.<\/p>\n

Under the <\/span>Data Analysis Plan<\/strong> <\/span>Level 1 heading, describe how each data collection method outlined in the plan would be analyzed, including any steps in the process and any software programs such as NVivo (a qualitative software program) or SPSS (a quantitative software program).<\/span><\/p>\n

Before you compose the <\/span>Proposed Action Plan<\/strong> <\/span>for Implementation<\/strong> <\/span>section under the Level 1 heading, complete the <\/span>Proposed Action Plan<\/strong> <\/span>template as an appendix after the reference page(s). Summarize how you will implement your action research plan, including your intended target audience and communication methods. Include specific strategies to facilitate communication with individuals and groups from diverse backgrounds. Include plans to share results with multiple stakeholder groups and varied communication strategies according to the intended audiences.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

 <\/span>You are only proposing this action plan, not implementing it. Therefore, you cannot complete the gold highlighted cells in the proposed action plan template. Leave these blank.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In the <\/span>Reliability and Validity <\/span><\/strong>section, describe how you would use triangulation to increase the reliability and validity of your action research. <\/span>Explain how you will address the three ethical principles of the Belmont Report\u2014respect of persons, beneficence, and justice. Explain how you would protect those who are the subjects or participants in your research study, including protecting the privacy and safety (physical, social, emotional) of all subjects involved in the research.<\/span><\/p>\n

Under the <\/span>Findings<\/strong> <\/span>Level 2 heading, compose a paragraph explaining how the action research proposal\u2019s findings would benefit the stakeholders and target population.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, compose a 1- to 2-paragraph <\/span>Reflection<\/strong> <\/span>about the action research process. How did you use feedback from others to modify or develop your proposal? How does the action research process make you more equipped to be a leader who guides decision-making founded on evidence and data? How else might you use this process in the future?<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 4
<\/strong>Proofread your finished paper from beginning to end.<\/p>\n

Use the assignment rubric to informally assess your work and ensure you have met all requirements for the Module 4 components.<\/p>\n

Submit your paper.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

 <\/span>In next week\u2019s Module 5 assignment, you\u2019ll develop an audiovisual presentation to garner support from your colleagues to implement your proposed plan. Begin thinking about who this professional audience would be and what they would need to know.<\/p>\n
