Capstone Project Framework: Junmar A. Sales II

This document provides guidance on developing a strong capstone project framework. It outlines the key characteristics of a good research proposal, including relevance, unique insights, clear aims and objectives, thorough background research, and consideration of resources and timelines. Reasons for proposal failure are also examined, such as vague aims, insufficient background research, and unrealistic timescales. The document then defines what constitutes a good research problem and title, emphasizing specificity, measurability, achievability, and relevance.

CAPSTONE PROJECT FRAMEWORK

Junmar A. Sales II
RESEARCH PROPOSAL
Objectives:
At the end of this presentation, you will:
• Identify the characteristics of good research proposal
• Understand how to make a good research title
What makes a GOOD research proposal?
• Relevance, either to the work of the funding body or to the student’s
course.
• The research is unique, or it offers new insight or development.
• The title, aims and objectives are all clear and succinct.
• Comprehensive and thorough background research and literature review
has been undertaken. There is a good match between the issues to be
addressed and the approach being adopted.
• The researcher demonstrates relevant background knowledge and/or
experience.
• Timetable, resources and budget have all been worked out thoroughly,
with most eventualities covered.
• Useful policy and practice implications.
Reasons Why Research Proposals FAIL
• Aims and objectives are unclear or vague.
• There is a mismatch between the approach being adopted and the issues
to be addressed.
• The overall plan is too ambitious and difficult to achieve in the timescale.
• The researcher does not seem to have conducted enough in-depth
background research.
• Problem is of insufficient importance.
• Information about the data collection is insufficiently detailed.
• Information about the data analysis method is insufficiently detailed.
• Timescale is inappropriate or unrealistic.
• Resources and budget have not been carefully thought out.
• This topic has been done too many times before – indicates a lack in
background research.
Research Problem
- any significant, perplexing and challenging situation, real
or artificial, the solution of which requires reflective
thinking
- a perplexing situation after it has been translated into a
question or series of questions that help the direction of
subsequent inquiry
Elements of Research Problem
Aim or purpose of the problem for investigation.
This answers the question “Why?” Why is there an investigation, inquiry or study?
The subject matter or topic to be investigated.
This answers the question “What?” What is to be investigated or studied?
The place or locale where the research is to be conducted.
This answers the question “Where?” Where is the study to be conducted?
The period or time of the study during which the data are to be gathered.
This answers the question “When?” When is the study to be carried out?
Population or universe from whom the data are to be collected.
This answers the question “Who?” “From whom?” Who are the respondents? From whom are the data
to be gathered?
Characteristics of Research Problem
Specific:
The problem should be specifically stated
Measurable:
It is easy to measure by using research instruments, apparatus, or equipment.
Achievable:
Solutions to a research problem are achievable or feasible.
Realistic:
Real results are attained because they are gathered scientifically and not manipulated or
maneuvered.
Time-bound
Time frame is required in every activity because the shorter completion of the activity,
the better.
Sources of Research Problem
- Specialization of the researcher
- Current and Past Researches
- Recommendations from theses, dissertations, and research
journals
- Original and creative ideas of the researcher based on the
problems met in the locality and country
Criteria of a Good Research Problem
✓Interesting
✓Innovative
✓Cost-effective
✓Relevant to the needs and problems of the people
✓Relevant to government’s thrusts
✓Measurable and time-bound
Guidelines of a Good Research Title
✓Research Title must be reflective of its problem.
✓It must answer the following questions:
▪ What question will answer the following
o? What are you trying to investigate?
o? What are you trying to find out, determine or discover?
▪ Who question will answer who are the respondents or
subjects of the study.
▪ Where question will indicate the research locale, setting
or the place where the research study is conducted.
