COMPONENTS OF A RESEARCH PROPOSAL
RESEARCH PROPOSAL It is a structured document that describe an intended study. It is an outline of the entire research process that gives a reader a summary of the information discussed in a project.
COMPONENT OF REASEARCH PROPOSAL TITLE ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE VARIABLES RESEARCH QUESTIONS METHODOLOGY REFERENCES APPENDICES
R esearch proposal titles should be concise and to the point, but informative . Characteristics of good proposal titles are (Al- Riyami , 2008 ): CATCHY POSITIVE TRANSPARENT 1. Title
2. Abstract It is a brief summary (about 300 words) of the study you are proposing. It includes the following elements (Al- Riyami , 2008 ): our primary research question(s). Hypothesis or main argument. Method you will use to complete the study. This may include the design, sample population, or measuring instruments that you plan to use.
3. Introduction The purpose of the introduction is to give readers background information about your topic. it gives the readers a basic understanding of your topic so that they can further understand the significance of your proposal. A good introduction will explain (Al- Riyami , 2008 ): How it relates to other research done on the topic Why your research is significant to the field The relevance of your study
Objectives Your research objectives are the desired outcomes that you will achieve from the research project. Depending on your research design, these may be generic or very specific. You may also have more than one objective (Al- Riyami , 2008 ). General objectives are what the research project will accomplish Specific objectives relate to the research questions that the researcher aims to answer through the study .
4. Review Of Related Literature The literature review section provides an in-depth analysis of the existing body of knowledge related to the research problem. It demonstrates the researcher’s understanding of the topic and highlights the gaps in the current literature. A well-executed literature review helps to justify the need for the proposed research and provides a theoretical foundation for the study.
5. Variables T his section describes the different types of variables that you plan to have in your study and how you will measure them. According to Al- Riyami (2008), there are four types of research variables : Independent Dependent Confounding/intervening background
6. Research Question Is the main piece of your research project because it explains what your study will discover to the reader. It is the question that fuels the study, so it is important for it to be precise and unique. There are six types of research questions (Academic Writer, n.d . ): Existence questions: Refers to a phenomenon, concept, behavior , action, or condition . Description and classification questions: Aims to find out how much a particular concept, phenomenon, or condition applies to a specific population or group . Composition questions: Ask about the specific elements that make up a concept, behavior, action, or condition . Relationship questions: Asks whether their is a relationship or association between two concepts or objects . Descriptive-Comparative questions: Asks whether one object or idea is different from another. Typically, each group has a characteristic that distinguishes it from the other group, such as age, sex, or socioeconomic status . Causality questions: Asks whether one thing impacts or causes another thing.
7. Methodology I n a research proposal, you must thoroughly explain how you will conduct your study. Research design Research subject/participants Sample size Timeline Interventions Ethical issues Potential limitations Appendixes Settings Study instruments How will analyze the data? Quality control Budget How will you share the studys ’ findings Significant of the study This includes things such as (Al- Riyami , 2008 ):
