I am conducting exploratory research on social media in NCAA athletics, particularly in the Atlantic 10 Conference. I am interested in two different research questions. How does social media impact current and schools and how will social media impact the new NCAA Name, Image and Likeness rule? To conduct my research, I will be using surveys to collect data from… Read more »
An Introductory Note This project proposal is at the very start of my MLA program. As I am pursuing this program running through one class per semester, the program timeline for me is the maximum five years permitted. ‘The Epistemological Crisis’ is a somewhat ephemeral concept, as such, the project will be rooted in an exploratory perspective. A further framework… Read more »
Based on feedback to date, here is my refined perspective for consideration: Research Questions with an attempt to narrow the focus of my research: “how do contemporary corporations define and approach the topic of digital ethics?” “what are the strengths and gaps of the current approach?” Methodology: As there does not, to my understanding, exist a quantitative way to define… Read more »
After making several reviews over my research question, my initial plan for my research project has deviated. That being said, I also plan for it to adapt again as I dig further into the NCAA and the recent NIL bill. Before, my research questions addressed recruitment violations, and the difference NIL makes with respect to some specific violations. However, I… Read more »
After a lot of narrowing and revising, I’m interested in researching the impact and benefits of cultural competency training in healthcare. This research is essential for evaluating the benefits and weaknesses of this training. In doing so, we can work to improve healthcare experiences for minority communities. It was suggested that I shift my main research questions from generic questions… Read more »
Since looking at your comments on my research questions, I think you are probably right about my questions being too narrow. I know there are books dealing with Djokovic’s mental strategies and his training as well as one book that I know he wrote but I think that is not enough so I’m slightly changing my research questions, using your… Read more »
I am conducting exploratory research about the NCAA NIL rule because there is little information on the impact that rule has on smaller D1 programs. I propose using interviews as my method to collect and analyze data in relation to the NIL interim rule. As a researcher, I want to provide participants, student athletes at UR, with a freedom to… Read more »
As I outlined in my Research Methodology post, I have switched gears a decent bit and will be looking in to how women have been affected in leadership roles within the A10 Conference and why exactly that is. I will be looking more closely at leadership positions like Athletic Directors, Presidents, Vice Presidents, Media/Content Creator, and Coaches just to name… Read more »
I have largely changed my course over the last couple of weeks – I initially began asking questions regarding how athletes as a whole have been negatively effected by Title IX (related too much to my own bias). Upon doing some more in-depth research, I have discovered that it would be appropriate to ask some more specific questions and slightly… Read more »
My research questions have not changed much since last week. I wish to research mental health and how that impacts performance and being able to find a correlation between mental training and success in athletic competition. To accomplish that, I am looking to Novak Djokovic and how he mentally trains for competition. Because he is one of the greatest tennis… Read more »
