Topic “How has the relationship between librarians and teachers evolved over the last decade to provide students with a better education? ”

You will not be required to implement the research. The purpose is to set up an outline for you to further develop and/or implement at some later point in time. In
doing this activity, you will also experience firsthand what your students/patrons have to do when designing a research study. As you progress through this narrative
outline, think about how you can support your students/patrons in the process. You must include at least one primary source of reference, as well as one secondary
source and one tertiary source. You must also include data from at least five articles, with three of the five being scholarly or peer-reviewed articles.

Your proposal must have the following sections. Include the following underlined headings in your paper:
Statement of the Problem (One to three paragraphs):
How has the relationship between librarians and teachers evolved over the last decade to provide students with a better education?
1. State your rationale/purpose. Why do you want to study this? What do you perceive to be an issue or problem? How do you know it’s a problem? Describe the context.
2. Research Question (One paragraph): Identify a question informed by the statement of the problem; this question must warrant further research or study. You also want
to consider questions and/or research that contribute to the field. Even though this was developed in Week Four, you may need to change it as you develop this outline.
Research questions tend to evolve as you learn more about the issue.
3. Literature Review (Four to five pages): Review and summarize the current literature on your topic. Read at least five articles; three of the five articles must be
three scholarly or peer-reviewed articles about the topic. You may include the sources you listed for your written assignment in Week Four. You have to include at
least one primary, one secondary, and one tertiary source. You might want to include subheadings as you categorize the findings from the other studies.
4. Participants (One paragraph): Describe your participants. Who do you plan on studying? How many people? Are you studying a specific group? State age group, gender,
profession, etc. Be specific about your data sample. (You can also study content instead of people or human subjects.)
5. Data Collection Method(s) (One to three paragraphs): Describe your data collection method(s). Which methods do you plan on using? For example, do you plan on
conducting interviews? Focus groups? Surveys? How do you plan on conducting your study? Describe the procedures.
6. Ethical considerations (One to two paragraphs): Describe any ethical considerations. What do you need to think about to conduct an ethical study? What are your
limitations?
7. Bibliography (One page): Include a page of citations in APA format.
