SUBMISSION REQUIRED.
The following section of the chapter one should be submitted by Wednesday of this week 4:
- Theoretical and conceptual framework
- Research Questions
- Nature of the Study
By the end of this session the student should complete Chapter One by completing the following sections below and being approved by the Dissertation Chair in terms of to be enrolled to the next dissertation block: Chapter Two.
CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION
Chapter One of the dissertation lays out the framework of the research plan, and it should include the following Sections:
- Problem Background
- Problem Statement
- Purpose of the Study
- Theoretical and conceptual framework,
- Research Questions
- Nature of the Study
- Significance of the Study
- Definition of the Terms
Chapter one should include exactly the following Sections in the order given in this template. Subsections and lower levels of sectioning can be included if deemed to be appropriate.
Theoretical and Conceptual Framework
In the Theoretical and Conceptual Framework Section, describe the theories and/or the concepts that underlie your study. In general, these are theories or postulates that are commonly accepted to be valid. Still, their applicability in the situations pertaining to your research is not verified. The framework should not only be in general terms; therefore, specific example(s) should be included for clarity.

Research Questions
In this Section, you break your research purpose down into components that cumulatively lead you to achieve the studys goals. Research questions (RQs) should be simple components of the purpose of the research, which cannot be broken down further. A RQ should be stated in a simple interrogative sentence. RQs should not be in a composite sentence; neither should they be stated in a hierarchical structure. Each RQ should address one issue at a time. If you want to address several issues, address them separately with several RQs. Keep in mind that RQs should not be stated in a way that leads to binary answers. If this Section contains only RQs, it does not look good in the eye of the reader, and is not complete. Therefore, in addition to listing the RQs, you need to explain in separate paragraphs how the answers to the RQs cumulatively lead you to achieve the purpose of your research. Please number your RQs, and state them separately from the paragraphs that describe their significance. The RQs should be in alignment with the problem statement.
The wording of the RQs reflects the nature of the data to be collected and analyzed. Examples of RQs are provided below. Please note that at least three (3) RQs in precise terms, and in alignment with the purpose of the study, are required for dissertations. Please see the following two examples of the format of the RQs, aligned with the problem statements mentioned before. However, you are required to provide a minimum of three research questions in alignment with the purpose of the study as derived from your problem statement.
RQ 1: To what extent does the economy of UAE relate to the price of oil? (Quantitative)
RQ 2: What would be other investment option for the UAE to reduce the risk of dependence on oil and gas? (Qualitative)
Nature of the Study
This Section should include the following Subsections and any other additional subsections if deemed to be appropriate.
Explication of the Research Methods and the Consistent Alignments
This Subsection starts with the statement explaining that if the study is quantitative, qualitative, or both (mixed methods). The general explanation of the implementation of the research plan will then be provided. In addition, the alignment of the research plan with the purpose of the study should be evident per content of this Section, and be justified.
The Nature of the Data and the Procedure for Data Collection
This Subsection starts with describing the data needed for the research, and how the researcher will access the data. Accessibility of the data by the researcher is of crucial importance, as inaccessibility of the data makes the research to be impossible. Evidence of accessibility of the needed data should also be included in this Subsection.
Data Collection Instrument(s)
Description of the data collection instrument(s) planned to be used in the research, and the pilot study if needed (e.g., if the instrument is to be designed by the researcher).
The Population and the Sample(s)
In this Subsection the doctoral candidate identifies the underlying population, the unit of analysis in the research. The researcher then explicates the sampling procedure(s), including the sampling method (random, convenient, ), and the sample size.
Research Analytics
The content of this Subsection depends on the type of the proposed research. If the research is qualitative then its type has to be clarified and justified. The nature of the qualitative data coding that conforms with the proposed research has to be elucidated. If the research is quantitative, then the nature of the incorporated variables has to be clearly delineated. The quantitative methodology which is consistent with the nature of the research has to be addressed.
