Abstract1

It should a brief summary of approximately 300 words

It should include the research question, the rational for the study, the hypothesis, the method, and the main findings

Page 2: Abstract 1  It should a brief summary of approximately 300 words  It should include  the research question,  the rational for the study,  the hypothesis,

Abstract2

Descriptions of the method may include the design, procedures, the sample any instruments that will be used

Page 3: Abstract 1  It should a brief summary of approximately 300 words  It should include  the research question,  the rational for the study,  the hypothesis,

Methods3

The methods section is very important

It tells your research committee how you plan to tackle your research problem

It will provide your work plan and describe the activities necessary for the completion of your project

Page 4: Abstract 1  It should a brief summary of approximately 300 words  It should include  the research question,  the rational for the study,  the hypothesis,

Methods4

It should contain sufficient information for the reader to determine whether methodology is sound

It may contain sufficient details for another qualified researcher to implement the study

Demonstrate your knowledge of alternative methods

Methods5

Make the case that your approach is the most appropriate and most valid way to address your research question

Your research question may be best answered by qualitative research

How to write the method section for qualitative research is a topic for another paper

Methods Procedures6

Design-is it questionnaire study or laboratory experiment?

Subjects or participants- Who will take part in your study? What kind of sampling procedure do you use?

Instruments- What kind of measuring instruments or

questionnaires do you use? Why do you use them? Are they valid and reliable?

Methods Procedures7

Procedure- How do you plan to carry out your

study? What activities are involved? How long does it take?

Description-How you will collect and analyze data?

Title8

Title should be to the point and descriptive

The phrase," An investigation of …” could be omitted

It is stated in terms of a functional relationship

It should indicate the independent and dependent variables

Title9

Title may be an informative but catchy An effective title pricks the reader’s

interest An effective title influences him/her

positively towards the proposal
