Dissemination Action Plan- The research process is cyclical. The assessment tasks in this subject reflect this cycle. In Assessment 1
you compiled an Annotated Bibliography to build your understanding of existing studies in the area in which you were planning to focus your
research. In Assessment 2 you used that understanding, with other learnings from the subject and other sources, to prepare a Research
Proposal outlining the details of a particular study.
Executing the research study outlined in the proposal, analyzing the data, and presenting a report on the findings constitute the next stage of the research cycle in the real world.
However, conducting research is a difficult and time-consuming procedure that is outside the purview of this introductory subject, as has been observed throughout the semester.
The distribution of results is a crucial component of the post-research portion of the cycle, therefore Assessment 3 instead of addressing the conduct of the research study, does so.
You will create an action plan for this assessment exercise based on Wadsworth’s (2011) work on optimizing the effect of research and distributing findings (see pages 455–461 in your textbook for more information).
Obviously, you have not carried out any research, so you have no results to report. The action plan is a general outline of how you would
disseminate the results of the study you outlined in your Research Proposal (Assessment 2), if you had carried it out. You will draw on the
content of the Moodle pages, textbook, articles and other appropriate sources to complete this task.
Your research dissemination action plan must be presented in full sentences-not dot points – and paragraphs in essay form. You may have
subheadings within your essay.
Your plan must include;
a brief description of the study outlined in the Research Proposal
a description of what you want to achieve (your objective/s) by dissemination of your results, e.g. influencing policy and/or practice,
and/or an explanation of why this is necessary/desirable
an explanation of who (individuals and/organisations) you will inform about your research and why you will do this (Think in terms of
ethical reasons and how these people/organisations can help in the process of getting action taken as the result of you research)
a detailed description of when and how (contents and the way they will be presented) you will disseminate your findings in each of the
following formats;
I. a formal report (similar to the
NSW Carers Survey and the
NDIS Study)
II. a meeting with colleagues
III. a conference
An appendix to your plan, with one data gathering instrument you would have used in your proposed study if you had carried it out. e.g.
