Instructions
Rewrite the Theoretical Framework section make sure information is clear and specifically discusses and justifies how and why the theory is directly related to the research study topic itself (which should follow the paragraphs about the theory′s major principles). Correct the Related Literature below be sure to include intext citations. Keep in mind, information about the theory should focus specifically on discussing the literature/research related to the research topic. (Exploring the impact of classroom management on students’ academic performance) What does the research have to say? What the major themes and subthemes that you’re seeing in the literature? In the Meeting student basic needs section… define “basic needs”. Typically, these might be food shelter, and water, particularly in relation to the theory.
Correct the overview below be sure to include the focus will be K-12 education, you will want to adjust the topic so that it doesn’t focus on students and student performance. Consider changing the focus to teachers, administrators, or adult students. Name Abraham Maslow’ Humanist Theory of Education that you have chosen is [are] discussed in the first section, followed by a review of recent literature on [identify some of the main themes that will be your Level 2 APA headings in the related literature section]. Lastly, the literature surrounding [ include the remainder of the level 2 APA headings that will be the main themes that will be discussed in the related literature section]. Finally, a gap in the literature is identified regarding the need for more research concerning [identify the gap in the literature that your research will address].
Be sure to address the following questions as you re-write this paper
1. What specific phenomenon are you interested in researching? To narrow down the topic, I would focus specifically on examining the impact of positive discipline strategies on classroom management and student academic performance within the context of inclusive education settings.
2. How, practically speaking, would you carry out this study? Positive discipline strategies, rooted in the work of Rudolf Dreikurs. (While positive discipline approaches have gained attention in recent years, their effectiveness in promoting inclusive practices and enhancing student outcomes in diverse classrooms remains understudied.) 3. Who would be your participants? Admin and teachers 4. What methodology and design would you use? Quantitative data 5. How would you collect data? Using surveys

Chapter 1 Introduction Explain the context of your dissertation and research explaining why the topic is important. Identify your educational context, the main issues or problems you are investigating and justify it. This should lead you to establish what it is you intend to research and why. Make sure the focus of your research is absolutely clear. Why have you picked this topic? The reader should not be confused, especially if what you are saying doesn’t match the title. It is often helpful to conclude this chapter by stating your research questions, as this leads into the next chapter. You can include an overview of how you intend to structure your thesis – talk the reader through your thinking.

Chapter 2: Literature review
Start with a good transition from the introduction and explain how you are going to structure your literature review.
Consider the literature that both agrees and does not agree with your own point of view. Indicate in this chapter how the literature search and review has underpinned
3000 It requires you to revisit your literature review, edit and amend it in light of further reading you have done and condense this down and this involves synthesis; bringing together of a variety of ideas to construct new meaning. It is important that the literature review is critical and not just a narrative of what others say. This is where you can really begin to develop your critical voice. It is also important to show how you have been selective as to what has been included and how your area of focus has developed. The main source of your material should be from academic journal articles, but other forms of literature may be included too. Use your reading from the course. Synthesising means comparing different material and highlighting similarities, differences, and connections. To synthesise successfully you need to interpret information and use it to draw your own conclusions and generate new ideas as a result. The relationship with your research questions should be clear and if there is a development this should be mapped.
Make sure you have covered the following:
§ Describe the current state of research in your defined area;
§ Consider whether there are any closely related areas that you also need to
refer to;
§ Identify a gap where you argue that further research is needed; and
§ Explain how you plan to attend to that particular research gap.
Remember the worst thing to do here is to write a report!
This is the section where people tend to include too many long quotations – remember to focus on effective paraphrasing.
Chapter 3: Research Paradigm/Position i.e. Ontology/ Epistemology then Interpretivism / Positivism, etc.
Research Design
e.g. Action Research/Case Study
Begin by clearly describing and justifying your research position and as a result your choice of research approach and data collection techniques. Remember – how do you view the world? The answer to that question is going to determine the rest of this section. You should also discuss your role as a work-based (insider) researcher and exploretheadvantages/disadvantagesofthisroleifappropriate. Candidatesoftenmake the mistake of describing what has happened rather than beginning with why things have happened the way they have.
You should be able to draw on the work in which you identified an approach and data collection techniques. Critically reflect on the methodology you have used and include a discussion of why you have chosen the particular approach and techniques. This is a crucial aspect of this section, ensuring that every decision has been justified in line with your research position.
3000 Chapter 4: Research Methods e.g. Interviews, Observations, Surveys, Comparing Data
Describe and justify the actions you took. You should present a coherent and logical account of your research, what you did, how you did it and why you did it that way. What helped or hindered the activities? Reflection upon your activities once they have finishedwillincreaseyourlearning. Thedecisionsyoumadeshouldbeconsistentwith your research position and your research methodology. All decisions made regarding methods should be fully justified. You are trying to show the reader that your choices were valid. Where appropriate discuss how triangulation of methods reinforces the validity of the data.

Chapter 5: Project findings What did you discover?
Present your results with a detailed discussion, analysis and interpretation.
In the main body of the dissertation you should include a detailed summary of your main findings. It can be quite tricky striking a balance between including too much

What does it mean?
information and providing a summary that is too superficial. If your research has produced a lot of data then these should be added as appendices with detailed summaries in the main text, but even then, be selective, you don’t have to include everything. For example, if you conducted interviews then you do not need (anyway) theinterviewtransсrіpts. Whatyoucanhaveinyourappendicesisathemedsummary of quotations from the interviews that you can reference to from this section.
This is now an opportunity to share what you have found and what the implications of these findings are. As a result of this it may be worth beginning this chapter with a reminder of what your research questions were. It is important that your discussion is not just a report on what has been found; your approach should be both analytical and critical. Anydatasharedshouldbesharedwithathoughttochronologyandlogic.
Choices regarding any kind of data analysis must also be explained. Use your data selectively to argue your case and to guide the reader through your findings. Make sure any relevant tables and figures are labelled correctly. Using these kind of images can be awayofbreakingupyourtextandaddingemphasiswhereneeded. Whetherthedata is qualitative or quantitative it should be presented in such a way to show the reader the logic of your argument. Make sure that your analysis has enough depth to show that you have explored different themes, ideas and arguments. Why did you choose the methods you did for the analysis? You are not required to include all your data in this section, or in the appendices, but samples of questionnaires, interview summaries, and tables can be useful.
In your discussion ensure that you can show how your research questions have beenansweredbyyourresearchprocess. Again,thisiswhereyouneedtoensure thatyourwritinggoesbeyondthedesсrіptiveanditcriticalandanalytical. Thinkabout how you want to present your findings, do you want to show the relationship between these different aspects.
Chapter 6: Ethical considerations You must give a detailed analysis of ethics here and remember to include here a cross- reference to BERA and the signed ethical release form, which should be resubmitted in the appendices. Please review and update your ethical considerations in light of feedback from the release form, your supervisor and the new GDPR regulations. Include awareness of the part you have played in the project.

Chapter 7: Limitations
In chapter 7 you should also reflect critically on yourself and on your work as a researcher; this is essential to score highly on the mark scheme for personal engagement and reflection.
Reflect on what you have learnt through this process and refer back to the Kolb learning cycle. This is a very valuable process to identify your professional development journey and identify potential impact on your career. The following prompts may help structure this:
· What went well
· What was problematic
· What helped
· What I feel about it
· What I have learnt
· What comes next
· The action that has been taken as a result of my learning
· Possible future research

Chapter 8: Conclusions and recommendations Firstly go back to the aims and objectives and say whether or not, or the extent to which you have achieved these. It may be that you have achieved them fully or partially. Were there any weaknesses with your research – what is your response to these? Recommendations are likely to arise from the findings that you identified in chapter 5 and it is important to make clear who the intended audience or audiences are for the different recommendations.
A common mistake is to include entirely new material or references in the conclusion. This is not appropriate. The recommendations should arise logically from the findings. The conclusion should succinctly encapsulate the important points of your dissertation. There should be some awareness of the limitations of your research. You should also include suggestions for future research.
500- 1000 Word Count State this here –
Appendices This is where you can add supporting information, only if it is absolutely necessary and – not more than twenty pages in total.
ETHICS (AGAIN)
There are many issues to consider when conducting educational research, especially if it is done within the place where you work. Therefore, careful consideration must be given to ethics and a core aspect of this module is that your research proposal will include an ethics form that must be approved by the University Ethics Committee before you can begin to conduct the research itself. In this module you will explore potential conflicts that can arise as an insider-researcher and what can be done to minimise risks and ensure no harm is done to participants. It is important not to underestimate the impact that you can have on your participants. For example, you might be happy to present your findings to SLT, but are they? Willtheyknowthattheymightnotbeabletobeidentifiedfromthetext,buttheycouldwithinyourownschool setting? Also, think very carefully in terms of ownership of data – who owns what. In almost all cases it is likely that you need to gain written permission from your Head if you are working within your own setting.
Once you have completed the Ethics Release Form that is available to download from Moodle, you must then share this with your supervisor. They should give you some feedback on your answers. This is then uploaded to MOODLE at the same time as Module 3. You will then receive feedback from the University, who will then pass on any notes if needed via your supervisor. You need to revise the original Ethics Release Form and any accompanying documentation before uploading as an appendix to your final dissertation.
You can complete the following tasks before commencing the assignment as this will help you understand the principles of research methods and work systematically through the required content:
TASK: Read the References Make sure this is consistent – it will need a lot of checking and proof reading, but don’t let yourselves down with rushing this aspect. All references/bibliography must be presented using the Harvard system. If you have used reference software you still need to check to see that it is formatted correctly. The list of references at the end of your report should include detailed and precise information on all the sources referred to in your report. This should be presented alphabetically by auth

This is the culminating assignment for the class.  There is no final exam. 
You will write a manifesto that describes your beliefs about writing, the teaching of writing, and/or how kids learn to write.  You’ll also articulate your intentions as a future teacher: how do you intend to implement these beliefs?  How long might it take, and what challenges might you face? 
To get started, you might look over some of the work you’ve done in this course: your responses to readings in About the Authors; your play with memes, arguments, letters, and drawings; the activities you planned and your process reflections on all your Makes. If you read across these writings, what do you see about yourself and your ideas about writing?  
And as you start to write your manifesto, please include details about your desired grade level and the specific ideas you have about incorporating ideas from About the Authors (creativity, mentor texts, illustrating and writing, book production, working with big ideas, holding one-on-one conferences, etc.) into your desired school, grade level, or population of kids.
300 words minimum, 500 maximum.
Your manifesto needs a great, original title.
You don’t have to use an “academic voice” in this paper; it’s the sharp ideas that count.
