Organisation of quantitative portfolio
You should organise your report under the following headings:
a) Title of report: Research question
b) Short literature review
Your literature review should identify 4 research studies and explain how they inform your research question. Questions to address: What are the key findings from the research studies? What gaps do the studies leave that your research question will fill?
c) Methodology
Your methodology should describe what you did and the methods you used. You need to briefly outline your sample and recruitment strategy, explain why this quantitative method was appropriate for your research question, what ethical issues you needed to consider, state that you have gained ethical approval from the module lecturers, and any problems you encountered and resolved.
d) Findings
Through numerical and graphical presentation, you need to identify the key findings of your research. Illustrate how your quantitative data address your research topic/question.
e) Discussion and Conclusion
Briefly sum up your key research findings and how they filled the gap set out in your literature review. Outline the extent to which you were able to answer your research question and identify any reasons why it could not be fully answered (including concerns with reliability, validity, and representativeness). What could researchers do next time to get a fuller answer to the question?
