Technology in the future of Cardiology: Qualitative Study
Draft the introduction and literature review of the research you are proposing. A minimum of five scholarly articles should be utilized in the literature review.
The introduction should include the following elements:
- Background and context - lead the reader into the topic and scope of your research
- Problem statement - describe the theoretical or practical research problem that you want to address. What is already known about the problem? What is missing from the current knowledge?
- Research questions - state the specific questions that you aim to answer
- Relevance and importance of the research - make it clear what new insights you will contribute, who they are relevant to, and why the research is worth doing.
The literature review will summarize, compare and critique the most relevant scholarly sources on the topic. It should contain the following but is not limited to:
- Key concepts, theories, and studies- compare, contrast, and establish the theories and concepts that will be most important for your project
- Key debates and controversies-identify points of conflict and situate your own position
- Gaps in existing knowledge-show what is missing and how your project will fit
Identify the methodology that you plan to use and the steps that will be taken.
This part will be divided into two sections; 1) Research design and methods, and 2) Implications and Contributions to Knowledge.
In the research design section, explain approach to the research and describe exactly what steps will take to answer your questions. This will be made up of:
- Research design - explain how you will design the research. Qualitative or Quantitative? Original data collection or primary/secondary sources? Descriptive, correlational, or experimental?
- Methods and Sources - describe the research's tools, procedures, participants, and sources. When, where, and how will you collect, select and analyze data?
- Practical consideration addresses potential obstacles, limitations, and ethical or practical issues. How will you plan for and deal with problems?
In the Implications and contributions to knowledge, you will finish the proposal by emphasizing why your proposed project is important and what it will contribute to practice or theory. It will include:
- Practical Implications - Will your findings help improve a process, inform policy, or make a case for concrete change?
- Theoretical Implications - Will your work help strengthen a theory or model, challenge current assumptions, or a basis for further research?
