What data is needed to answer the research question? How will the data be analysed? It is necessary to operationalise your phenomenon of interest. When you explain how you have operationalised your phenomena of interest the methods you choose should align naturally. Design your research instruments (e.g., interview protocol, survey) and include them as an attachment.
Info from lecturer- Refine your research question using terms that align with your theoretical framework. Refining your question should improve the feasibility of your research project by limiting the scope of the research you must also adhere to ethical limitations of the taught ethics arrangements (unless part of your everyday professional reflective practice, no data must be sought from persons under 18 years of age).
