2 Course Activities I. Research Proposal Project [100 points] You are required to prepare a research proposal on a topic of your choice. You will write a summary report of your findings. The report must be 8 10 pages in length, typewritten, double-spaced, and must follow APA style. The 8 10 page length does not include your list of references, nor your cover page. Your paper must contain, on average, at least 2 references for each page in length (i.e., a paper of 8 pages in length must include at least 16 references). Your references must be from scientific (i.e., refereed journals, scholarly books or monographs) and/or authoritative sources (e.g., government publications). Your topic of choice must be pertinent to your major and concentration (i.e., community counseling, school counseling, college student affairs). Your proposal must contain four sections: 1) Introduction to the topic: In this section, you will provide a brief, general introduction to the topic you have chosen for your paper. This section consists of an overview of your topic. You will include a few citations of reference. 2) Review of Literature: This section will be the major part of your paper. You will need to organize your presentation of prior research into subsections. You will summarize the research you find on your topic. In the review of the prior research, you will want to include specifics about the purpose (or hypotheses) of the study, a summary of the procedure the researchers used, and a summary of the results they presented in their report. 3) Summary: In this section, provide a brief summary of the most relevant research you included in your review of literature. The objective in this section is to point out the most pertinent research that leads to the last section of your paper. 4) Statement of purpose: This section is usually quite short. You will want to specify the purpose of your proposed study. This section may be in one of several forms: a statement of purpose, research objectives, or a list of your hypotheses. 2
3 Research Proposal Project Evaluation Criteria 1. Organization of the information you will likely need to include subsections in your Introduction; this also includes using proper APA writing style [20 points]. 2. Clarity this will include grammar, spelling, sentence structure, and thematic organization [20 points]. 3. Adequate summary of studies summaries should include the purpose or objectives of the study, description of the participants, and findings of the study [20 points]. 4. Adequate number of references see above for guidelines [10 points]. 5. Adequate number of empirical studies should be at least half of your references [10 points]. 6. Summary of your findings from the literature review [10 points]. 7. Objectives of your proposed study will be in form of purpose, research questions, or hypotheses [10 points]. 3
4 II. Research Team Project [100 points] Each student will become a member of a Research Team. The team will conduct a study investigating several variables. The project will consist of performing given tasks by certain deadlines (see below for dates). Each team will be governed by democratic principles. That is, team members will decide among themselves who will perform each required task. Each team will elect a facilitator. Team meetings will be conducted in class. As part of the Team Research Project, each student is required to complete the online Institutional Review Board (IRB) training. The IRB training is an online program covering issues regarding individuals participation in research. Ethical issues such as informed consent, treatment of research participants, and participants rights are covered in the training. The training includes short quizzes at the end of each section of the program. To earn credit for this activity, students will turn in a copy of their certification of passing the program. Facilitator s role and responsibilities: The facilitator s primary role is one of coordination and supervision. She or he will be responsible for monitoring the progress of the group members and keeping the group focused on members respective tasks. The facilitator will work closely with the group member assigned the task of preparing the final report of the research project. The facilitator will maintain communications with the instructor about the group s progress. In addition, the facilitator will be responsible for preparing two summaries of research articles for the project. The facilitator will be evaluated by both the group members and the instructor. Group Members role and responsibilities: Group members will complete assigned tasks necessary to complete the project as a whole. Various tasks are described below. It is essential for each team member to complete her or his task(s) on time so that other members will have the necessary information to complete their own task(s). Group members will be evaluated by both the group facilitator and the instructor [see below for evaluation criteria]. 4
5 Task assignments should be made to complete the following: A. Preparation of the Introduction section o Assigned members will need to review and summarize published research that will support the selected purpose or hypotheses. Team members, and the facilitator, will provide individual summaries of the research articles. This section should address four general topics: an introduction to the area being studied, a review of relevant literature, a summary of the article review, and a statement of the study objectives (i.e., purpose, research question(s), or hypotheses). For the review of literature, each team member, and the facilitator, will prepare a one-page summary for at least two articles. Make two copies of each summary one for the team members responsible for preparing the Introduction section, and one copy for turning in to the instructor you will earn points for your summaries. B. Preparation of the Method section o This section should address three general topics and should be identified by subheadings: participants, procedures, and instruments used in your study. C. Preparation of the Results section o Assigned member(s) will review, and summarize the results from the data analyses. These members will also need to construct any needed tables containing the statistics generated for your study. D. Preparation of the Discussion section o Assigned member(s) will develop a discussion of the results of their study. This section should address five general topics: brief summary of the findings, conclusions, implications of the findings, limitations of the study, and suggestions for future research. 5
6 E. Final Report & Class Presentation o Assigned member(s) will prepare a written report for their respective study. The report must be written in APA style. The report will contain the same sections as outlined above. In addition, assigned member(s) will present the team s study to the class. All team members will contribute to the data base from which each study will be drawn. Data collected in class will be returned to the team for statistical analyses, or analyzed by the instructor and returned to the respective teams. Team members are encouraged to administer their instruments to people outside of class to increase your sample size. When recruiting and administering your instruments, remember to adhere to the ethical issues addressed in the IRB online program. Due dates for members tasks Date Introduction Article summaries 9/20 First draft 9/20 Second draft, if needed 9/27 Method Section First draft 10/4 Second draft, if needed 10/11 Results Section First draft 11/1 Second draft, if needed 11/8 Discussion Section First draft 11/15 Second draft, if needed 11/22 Presentation 12/6 Research Team Final Report 12/13 6
7 Research Project Evaluation Criteria Your grade for this project will be generated from two sources: the instructor and your team members. 1) The instructor s portion of the grade will be based on the following criteria: a) turning in articles summaries on time [10 points], b) completeness of the article summaries [10 points], c) turning in drafts of report sections, or final report, on time [20 points total: 10 points for each draft, or 10 points, each, for final report and preparation for presentation (e.g., power point,etc.)], d) completion of your team members evaluations [10 points]. 2) The team members portion of your grade will be based on the average resulting from evaluations made by each of your fellow team members and will cover the following: a) member s participation [20 points], b) member s attitude [20 points], c) completion of the IRB training [10 points]. Rating forms will be distributed at the appropriate time. III. Learning Assessment [100 points] The third activity assigned is a learning assessment. It will be comprehensive in nature. The learning assessment will consist of multiple-choice, true-false, and matching items. Topics covered in the assessment are: a general overview of research, research ethics, research designs, and statistics. 7
8 IV. Lab [100 Points] The lab for this course will entail applying statistical theories and procedures. Four general topics will covered: descriptive statistics, testing means, odds and odds ratios, and correlations and regression analysis. Following the presentation of each topic, an assignment will be given. Lab assignments will consist of analyzing specified variables and obtaining the resulting statistics. Each student will be provided with his or her data file for the analyses. In addition to analyzing the data, a short write-up of the results will be required. Table templates for the results will be provided. Also, complete examples for each assignment can be found online via WebCT. CITRIX The CITRIX program will be available to students for completing their data analyses using SPSS. CITRIX is an online program accessed through the EIU website. Students are encouraged to link up to CITRIX as soon as possible. You can find the necessary links and a tutorial at the following web address: If you have problems with CITRIX, contact Michael McBride at or mlmcbride@eiu.edu. Once you have downloaded the necessary program, you will be ready to access SPSS through CITRIX. For this semester, you will need to use the following username and password: Username: csd5500 Password: pasw33e!u Grade Assignments Each student s grade will be based on the total number of points from the four course activities (100 points each).

15 Research Methods Lab Variable List (Continued) Counselor Values The Counselor Values measure was designed to model the values components originally developed by Rokeach (1973), who proposed two types of values: terminal and instrumental. Terminal values can be thought of as goals individuals strive to attain in their daily lives. Instrumental values refer to how individuals behave in their daily lives. For example, instrumental values people deem to be highly important to them are likely to be exhibited as they strive to attain their most important terminal values. The two types of values are themselves made up of two separate components, respectively. Terminal values are made up of personal and social values. Personal values can be thought of as goals an individual pursues to satisfy his or her own internal needs; social values can be thought of as goals one pursues to satisfy his or her social needs. Instrumental values are made up of competence and moral values. Competence values can be thought of as using one s abilities and skills to achieve goals; moral values can be thought of as using moralistic attitudes and decisions to achieve goals. 15
16 Research Methods Lab Variable List (Continued) Victim Role Identity refers to people who: claim to be injured by others, and think other people are responsible for their misfortunes; see themselves as helpless, and depend on others to take care of them; view the actions of others as meant to harm them, and often feel cheated, duped, or deceived by those people. Rescuer Role Identity refers to people who: feel a strong need to train or educate others, and provide encouragement and support; spend a great deal of their time taking care of others, particularly when others are ill or injured; think that others need to be guided or shown how to perform a task; sometimes believe that others can not get along without them; usually are willing to do favors for others, and feel satisfied when others ask for help. 16
