How to Make a RESEARCH

Introduction and
Objectives?
• Definition and Importance
• Elements of a good
introduction
• Tips in making an
introduction
• Example of the previous
thesis
Elements
1. Attention Getter
2. Background
3. Thesis
TIPS: There are a few
tips that can help you
write a strong
introduction, arouse
interest, and
encourage the reader
to read the rest of your
work.
• Keep it Short
A long and rambling
introduction will soon put
people off and lose your
marks. Stick closely to
your outline for the paper,
and structure your
introduction in a similar
way.
• Define the Problem
The entire introduction
should logically end at the
research question and thesis
statement or hypothesis. The
reader, by the end of the
introduction, should know
exactly what you are trying
to achieve with the paper.
In addition,
your conclusion and discussi
on will refer back to the
introduction, and this is
easier if you have a clearly
defined problem.
• Organization
As you write the paper, you may find that it goes in a slightly
different direction than planned. In this case, go with the flow, but
make sure that you adjust the introduction accordingly. Some
people work entirely from an outline and then write the
introduction as the last part of the process. This is fine if it works for
you.
A research objective
describes, in a few words, the
result of the research project
after its implementation. It
answers the question,
“What does the researcher
want or hope to achieve at
the end of the research
project.”

DEFINITION OF A RESEARCH
OBJECTIVE
WHAT ARE THE USES OF THE RESEARCH
OBJECTIVE?
1.serves as the researcher’s guide in
identifying the appropriate
research design,
2.identifies the variables of the study,
and
3.specifies the data collection
procedure and the corresponding
analysis for the data generated.
How to make a RESEARCH
objective?
1. State your main research question to guide your
ideas. If you’re writing a research proposal, then
you’ve probably developed a research question.

2. Describe the ultimate goal of your study. Consider


what you want your research project to achieve.

3. Break that goal down into sub-categories to


develop your objectives. In most cases, your ultimate
goal will be large enough to break down into smaller
steps.
4. Limit your objectives to 3 to 5 at most. Trying to
achieve too many objectives makes your project
unwieldy, and you could get overwhelmed.

5. Divide your objectives into 1 general and 3-4


specific ones. In many research proposals, the
proper format is a general or long-term objective
followed by a few specific ones.

6. Assess each objective using the SMART


acronym. This acronym stands for Specific,
Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-
bound.
