Elements of Research

Proposal
 Writing a good proposal will help you manage your time so that
you can complete the quarter with three papers that meet your
objectives. The specific format and content of these elements
may vary; they may not always appear as separate sections or in
the order listed here.

1. Background of the study


2. Problem Statement
3. Objectives of the study
4. Significance of the study
5. Limitation of the study
6. Definition of terms
7. Literature Review
8. Methodology
Background of the study

 The main idea of the background of study is to establish the area of research in
which your work belongs, and to provide a context for the research problem. It also
provides information to the research topic.

 In an introduction, the writer should create:


 reader interest in the topic,
 lay the broad foundation for the problem that leads to the study.
Statement of the Problem
 When you start a research, you have a
question that you wish to seek answer for.
The question leads to a problem that
needs to be solved by the research.
Begin the research with a description of
the problem or a thesis
statement.
 Objectives of the study
 States what your research hopes to accomplish.

 Significance of the study


 Why your research is important and what
contributions will it give to the field. It is also
advised to state how your findings can make a
difference and why is it important that the
research be carried out.
Limitation of the Object
 It is not possible to
include ALL aspects of a particular
problem. State what is not
included. Specify the boundaries of
you research. A too wide area of
investigation is impractical and will
lead to problems.
Definition of terms

Terms or concepts that you use should


be defined and explained unless they
are familiar or obvious. You
should refer to authoritative
sources for definitions.
Literature Review


This section need not be lengthy but it
should reflect your understanding of
relevant bodies of literature. List all pertinent
papers or reports that you have consulted in
preparing the proposal; include conversations
with faculty, peers or other experts. A well-
written review provides a sense of critical
issues which form the background for your
own work this quarter.
Methodology
 Explain the specifics of what you want
present in your project (statistical data,
comparisons of historical and recent data, the
evolution of a paradigm, etc.).
 Your timeline and a very rough scope (past
– current – future) has been pre-
determined. If outside organizations involved,
explain how you are going to get hold of the
data.

Introduction
What is an outline ?
Before you begin writing the first
draft of your essay, it is best to make
an outline. An outline is a general
plan of what you are going to write.
You can compare making an outline
to drawing plans to build a house.
Before one begins to build a house, it
is best to draw up plans to make sure
that a house is built in the way you
want. The same is true with writing
an essay and making an outline.
Introduction
The Benefits of an Outline
An outline of an essay can be very helpful for two
reasons:
 An outline will help make your essay more
organized. A careful plan will help your body
paragraphs stay focused on the ideas in your
thesis statement.

 An outline saves time for writers. Preparing an


outline can take time, but when you are finished,
you will be able to write the rough draft of your
essay more quickly than if you didn’t have an
outline.
