In this chapter, a brief review of the relevant research literature will be presented to generate a theoretical outline of this proposed research. This theoretical outline will guide the research strategy.
Fraser & Estrada (2002) commented that since late 1970s, the importance of community participation at all stages of a development initiative has been commonly acknowledged. Parvalla (2003) defined (as cited in Ballur, 2012) community as “a territorially bound group with some commonality of interest” (p, 92) who are usually sharing a common language for daily communication with the same cultural heritage. It is clear from this discussion that for developing any community, radio, in particular community radio can be a supportive tool to cover wide range of population. In addition, it has a great influencing power to motivate the marginalised group of people
According to the Community Radio Installation, Broadcast and Operation Policy (2008) by Ministry of Information of People’s Republic of Bangladesh, in the guidelines part, it stated that “Community radio is, in effect, a form of public-service broadcasting, which serves a community rather than the whole nation. Community radio is an own resource of a community, which will reflect the outlook and attitude, norms and culture and thought and ideology of the very community people” (p, 1). While defining the community radio AMARC (the French acronym for the World Association of Community Radio) (as cited in Ballur, 2012)
This chapter covers the background and rationale, statement of the opportunity, purpose, research questions, nature of the study, definition of key terms, the significance of the study, assumptions, and limitations. It also covers the scope, worldview and theoretical foundation depicting the logical path of the research study.
Community development involves changing the relationships between ordinary people and people in positions of power, so that everyone can take part in the issues that affect their lives. It starts from the principle that within any community there is a wealth of knowledge and experience which, if used in creative ways, can be channeled into collective action to achieve the communities' desired goals.
This section of the paper consists of three main parts. First, the research questions that will be addressed, the expected hypotheses and an identification of independent and dependent variables. Second, the supporting literature for the hypotheses is discussed. Third, a conceptualization (definition) and operationalization (measurement) of each independent and dependent variable. Research Questions
This study sought to answer three research questions. Although the questions have been presented in previous chapters, they are worth presenting again.
This essay intends to critique and analyse the research paper, in order to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the research undertaken. Certain questions are required to ensure that the evaluation is assessing the essential components of the research (Holloway& Wheeler, 2002). Therefore Holloway and
The framework suggested by Walker and Avant was used for the analysis described in this research. The method of research included:
Using the theoretical framework and previous studies mentioned above the researcher tried to answer the research question
concepts and ideas discussed in class or in the textbook. Eligible articles/chapters for this paper include:
There are ten scholarly, peer-reviewed research articles selected for the preliminary literature review and they are summarized below. The relevance of the articles and the research findings, research design and methods are included below.
Select three to five research studies which investigate the particular topic above. Write a short summary of each of the studies.
First, society has gained a great deal of control on what is broadcast on radios. People with federal licenses were given
This term paper is constructed of six chapter summaries from the course text which focus on two significant themes in each chapter, along with four outside ideas of interest that have been researched individually.
Based on the research design and challenges for this dissertation, the scope of the literature review includes three key areas that will be discussed hereafter:
