Assignment 1: Developing Your Research Question, Model, and Hypothesis
Now that you’ve learned the importance of research questions, modeling, and hypotheses in academic research, it’s time for you to apply these concepts to your own research. This assignment will serve as the foundation for the final research paper proposal that you will develop throughout the course.
Assignment Instructions:
Step 1: Create Your Research Question
Think carefully about the topic you want to explore for your final research proposal. Your research question should be clear, specific, and related to an issue or problem that interests you within the field of public administration or policy analysis. Remember, this question will guide your entire research process, so choose one that is both meaningful and researchable.
Step 2: Build a Model
Based on your research question, create a model to organize the key variables and relationships that you will investigate. You may choose to use a symbolic model (written explanation or equation) or a schematic model (visual representation with diagrams). You can also use both if it helps clarify your approach. The model should help explain how the variables in your study are connected and how they might influence one another.
Step 3: Formulate a Hypothesis
Write a testable hypothesis from the model you’ve built. The hypothesis should clearly define the relationship between the independent variable (the cause) and the dependent variable (the effect). It should be a statement that can be supported or refuted through empirical research.
Example:
Research Question: Does the new environmental regulation, Bill 1234, effectively reduce carbon dioxide emissions?
Modeling: Providing subsidies for electric vehicles will increase demand for electric cars. This increased demand will reduce the consumption of traditional gasoline-powered vehicles.
Hypothesis: Bill 1234 will lead to a reduction in the consumption of traditional gasoline due to increased electric vehicle adoption.
Submission Requirements:
A well-defined research question.
A model (either symbolic, schematic, or both) that illustrates the key variables and relationships in your research.
A clear and testable hypothesis based on the model.
Evaluation Criteria:
Clarity and relevance of the research question.
The logical structure and completeness of the model.
Precision and testability of the hypothesis.
