ACTIVITY 1

CREATING A WORKING RESEARCH TITLE

Instructions:
1. Form a group with a minimum of three and a maximum of five members. If possible use
an odd number.
2. Schedule a group meeting and talk about research ideas (Look into the latest business
reports, news, articles, presentations, and other relevant sources within your chosen
business field or where you are interested in to get an idea of the hottest trends, issues,
challenges, and opportunities).
3. Brainstorm all of the words or concepts that might be related to your chosen topics and
write them down!
4. Start thinking in broad terms then narrow your topic to something manageable. (Limit
your topic to a particular approach to the issue or problem, consider only one piece of
the subject, limit the period you examine, age, sex, occupation, etc.
5. Think of the following questions:

o Why did you choose the topic? What interests you about it? Do you have an
opinion about the issues involved?
o Who are the information providers on this topic? Who might publish
information about it? Who is affected by the topic? Do you know of
organizations or institutions affiliated with the topic?
o What are the major questions for this topic? Is there a debate about the topic?
Is there a range of issues and viewpoints to consider?
o Where is your topic important: at the local, national or international level? Are
there specific places affected by the topic?
o When is/was your topic important? Is it a current event or a historical issue? Do
you want to compare your topic by period?

MECHANICS
1. Write down on paper five keywords, which summarize your research project. Write
down the five words you selected on a board or the screen and ask the group to work
with those words and suggest possible titles.
2. Search the words or titles
3. Produce a long list of titles then shortlist the best three
4. Ask participants to choose one and explain why they selected it. Take notes during the
discussion. Assess the information you have gathered. Write the strengths and
weaknesses of each title. Compare your results and by the end of the focus group
discussion, you should make your final choice.
A RESEARCH TITLE PROPOSAL TEMPLATE

Research Title Proposal 1: (Research title is of ultimate importance, thus make sure to come up with the
best, most attractive, and most exciting one. It must convey the meaning, the area of intervention, and the goals of
the project research. All the group members should participate in the process of selecting the title to make sure
that all will feel excited by the idea of working towards its development.

Effective titles must indicate the subject and scope of the study and use words that stimulate reader interest. Key
variables (both dependent and independent) must be identified. Limit to 10-15 substantive words.)

Proponents (Researchers):

Team Leader
Assistant Leader

Rationale: (The rationale of the study is the reason for why the study was conducted or should be conducted.
That means the study rationale should explain to the reader or examiner why the study is necessary. State the
problem as clearly and precisely as possible. Identify the issue with supporting data and tells the reader from your
perspective why the study is needed. Include information regarding the focus area and beneficiaries of your study.
A rationale should be 400-600 words explaining the choices you have made.)

Statement of the Problem (Clearly defines here the issue or challenge the research intends to address.
Briefly introduce the topic or area of study and then explain why the topic is important and worth investigating.
Then clearly state the specific problem or gap in knowledge that your research aims to address. Discuss who is
affected by the problem and how. This could include specific populations, industries, or broader society. Explain
what might happen if the problem is not addressed, emphasizing the urgency or necessity of the research. Limit
this to one paragraph)

Statement of Purpose: (The purpose statement should specifically address the reason for conducting the
project or study and reflect the stated questions. It is a sentence that you write, that states, in some detail, what
you want to learn about in your research project. This should directly link to the problem identified, showing how
your study will contribute to solving or understanding it.

Research Questions: (A research question is a question that a study or research project aims to answer. This
question often addresses an issue or a problem, which, through analysis and interpretation of data, is answered in
the study’s conclusion. In most studies, the research question is written so that it outlines various aspects of the
study, including the population and variables to be studied and the problem the study addresses.)

Source of Data: (Please identify the database, sample, or population here. Also describe the measuring
instrument to be used. Limit this to two paragraphs).

Method or Type of Research: (Provide brief justification for the selection of method or research type. Limit
this to two paragraphs).

Anticipated Benefits and/or Contributions: (State here how finding will be of help or will be applied.
Limit to two paragraphs)
