The Research Plan
In its simplest definition, a research plan is a
document that includes preliminary and basic
information about the research work that you would
like to do. It may contain details about the topic that
you intend to do, its importance or significance, the
steps that you have already done, and the next
actions that you are going to do in order to meet your
targets or until you have answered your research
questions. Technically, this is not a research proposal
yet but more likely a concept paper.
Parts of the Research Plan
I. Basic Information
This part of the research plan contains your basic information.
A. Complete Name
B. Learner Reference Number (LRN)
C. School and Address
D. Track and Strand
E. Complete Home Address
I. Assumptions
II. Time Table
III. List of References
II. Background
Short presentation of basic concepts and
information about the research topic shall be
presented in this section. Include few relevant
readings and literature which serve as major
background of your paper. Cite also your
motivation for the topic and the reasons and
importance of your study.
III. Objectives and Methods
Cite in this section the long term and short term
objectives or targets of your research work.
Indicate also whether you are using quantitative,
qualitative or mixed method of research.
IV. Working Framework

Through an illustrative illustrations or diagrams,


show the variables or concepts that are involved
in your paper. Show the connections and
relationship and role of these important
constructs in achieving the results of the study.
The Input-Process-Output Model is commonly
used. However, feel free to execute your
creativity and ideas in crafting the framework for
your paper.
V. Assumption
This part contains the expected outcome of the
study. What results do you anticipate? It is
better that you construct positive results
regarding the research that you plan to
undertake. This can be in numbered form,
bulleted, or in a paragraph or two.
VI. Timetable
You may have heard about Gantt Chart of activities.
This section contains the same concept but in
simplified and detailed format in order for you to
plan things out even more systematically and
productively. A timetable guides you to be able to
work on important activities necessary for you to
complete your research. Please study the example
timetable below to get ideas on how a plan looks
like and what information can be included.
Sample Timetable
VII. List of References
Present here the references that you used in the
formulation of the research plan. Use the format
of the American Psychological Association (APA)
6th or 7th edition style/format in constructing
the entries. Ensure that the entries are
alphabetically sequenced. Please revisit the
styling book, so you will be guided in making the
citations.
