Thesis and Dissertation Guide: Theory and Applied Practice guides students through the process of developing and writing a research proposal and final study.

The book focuses on research that might be quantitatively oriented, qualitatively oriented, or mixed methods and demonstrates to students that one approach is not superior to others, but rather, there needs to be alignment to the purpose of the study. A chart is provided to demonstrate alignment between the research purpose, research question and/or hypothesis, inductive and/or deductive reasoning, and the research design.

The book offers examples of the written language of research and helps students develop and write a research proposal, as well as a traditional five-chapter thesis or dissertation. It features emphasis on the critical analysis that must be employed when finding the missing gaps in the literature, while also developing a new approach to a research problem. There are uniquely designed scaffolds to take students through this critical analysis process while they simultaneously develop the foundation for, and write up of, their literature review.

Thesis and Dissertation Guide is an exemplary text for inquiry, research, research proposal, and dissertation courses in any discipline associated with social science and education-related research.
