[SOLVED] The global issue of Obesity (Health)
The requirements:
*Use the data from the survey(questionnaire) to structure a formal report which concludes with recommendations to your client
*Incorporate at least five appropriate secondary sources ( additionally to the main source which is www.un.org/en/globalissues
The Topic:
As a global organisation the United Nations addresses issues that transcend national boundaries. It is important for international students to not only be aware of these issues but to take an active role in their
resolution.
The task is to conduct primary research to determine:
1. What information students need about this issue
2. How they can contribute to the issues resolution
3. How YDIC (Yellow Door International Collage) could support students taking an active role in these issues.
Then, use the data to make recommendations to YDIC management in order to introduce student involvement in global issues as an aspect of foundation program
(((The requirements in detail)))
(All sections are numbered with decimalised numbering system)
1.0 Introduction
1.1 Background ( a paragraph adresses:
Why is the research important in general?
Support with secondary source
Why is YDIC interested in conducting this research?
Why should the topic be of interest to international students
who is involved in terms ofthe client? (This research is authorised on 2014 and (so and so) is interested in compeleting foundation program , and the due date for this research is 2014)
When will the report befinished?
What will happen once the report is finalised?
1.2 Objectives
Purpose of research be consistent with what is on survey cover sheet
Why is research being conducted?
I wrote in the survey cover sheet that the purpose is : ( to investigate the feasibility to involve international students at YDIC in gobal issue of
Obesity as a part of a foundation program)
1.3 Methodology
Step-by-step account as to how research was conducted
Identify research instrument (2 papers include 12 questions)
Details about research instrument
(12 questions in three parts: 1st: Knowledge about obesity. 2nd: involve students in this issue. 3rd: involve YDIC in this issue.
Identify sampling method
(convenience = I chose the participants rondomly)
Details about participants
(20 participants from 10 countries
Enrolled in these YDIC courses :
9 foundation students , 9 PAD student and 2 Diploma students)
Demographic data
( I will do it)
Where/when research conducted?
e.g. 2nd May
1.4 Scope
Boundaries of research spesific areas of focus of questionnaire
Identify sources on which report is based
(1 as analysis to 4 questions from the questionnaire + 5 secondary sources)
Omissions of data and reasons
(Reasons of eliminating the 6 questions from analysis + reasons of strengthening the 4 questions we will analyse)
Limitations
2.0 Findings and conclusions
( divided into sections)
( analysis of 4 questions from the questionnaire= that means we wil have 4 findings and 4 conclusion :
2.1.1 finding
2.1.2 conclusion
2.2.1 finding
2.2.2 conclusion
2.3.1 finding
2.3.2 conclusion
2.4.1 finding
2.4.2 conclusion
They analyse the questions discussing the details and the figures
( I will put the graphs, but you just say : As in figure 1 , 2 and so on
Its 4 graph = 1 graph each analysis)
3.0 Recommendations
based on our conclusions
i.e. So and so advices to take the following actions
3.1 (beginning with action verbs e.g. Support )
evedince to support
3.2
3.3
3.4
( here we put the rest of the sources, I mean the quotes, after we have already put one of them in the Background)
