WHAT IS RESEARCH?
Research is the careful consideration
of study regarding a particular
concern or research problem using
scientific methods. According to the
American sociologist Earl Robert
Babbie, “research is a systematic
inquiry to describe, explain, predict,
and control the observed
phenomenon. It involves inductive and
deductive methods.”
CHARACTERISTICS
OF RESEARCH
 Systematic approach
 It involves ethics and
code of conduct
 Logical methods used to
analyze
 Deductive or Inductive

RESEARCH
PROPOSAL
A research proposal is a document that
outlines a detailed plan for a research project.
It serves as a roadmap for conducting research
and is typically prepared by researchers,
students, or academics when they intend to
undertake a research study, such as a thesis,
dissertation, or academic research project. The
primary purpose of a research proposal is to
convince others (usually a research committee,
funding agency, or academic institution) that
the proposed research is valuable, feasible,
COMPONENTS OF A RESEARCH 6

1.Title: The title should be concise, descriptive, and


PROPOSAL
indicative of the research's topic.
2.Introduction: Provide an introduction to the research
problem or topic. Explain its significance and relevance
to the field of study. State the research questions or
objectives that the study aims to address.
3.Literature Review: Present a review of relevant
literature and research related to the topic. This
demonstrates your understanding of the existing
knowledge in the field and highlights the gaps or areas
where your research will contribute.
4.Research Methodology: Describe the research
methods and techniques you plan to use. This includes
information on data collection methods, sample
selection, data analysis techniques, and any tools or
instruments you intend to use.
Presentation title 7

5.Research Timeline: Provide a timeline or schedule that


outlines the key milestones and activities for the research
project. This helps assess the feasibility of the proposed
work.
6.Budget: If applicable, include a budget section detailing
the estimated costs of conducting the research. This may
include expenses for data collection, materials, equipment,
travel, and personnel.
7.Expected Outcomes: Describe the expected outcomes
of the research. What do you anticipate discovering or
achieving as a result of the study?
8.References: Include a list of academic sources and
references that you have cited in the proposal.
9.Appendices: Attach any additional supporting
documents, such as surveys, questionnaires, or
supplementary data, in the appendices section.
What is an abstract?
An abstract is a concise summary of a larger document or research
paper, providing a brief overview of its main points, key findings,
and conclusions. It is typically found at the beginning of the
document, serving as a preview for readers who want to quickly
understand the content without reading the entire text. Abstracts
are commonly used in academic, scientific, and technical
documents, as well as in other contexts like conference papers,
research articles, theses, dissertations, and scholarly journals.
KEY CHARACTERITCIS
Presentation title 9

OF AN ABSTRACT
Conciseness: Abstracts are brief and to the point. They
condense the essential information from the larger
document into a shorter form.
Informative: An abstract should convey the main objectives,
methods, results, and conclusions of the document it
summarizes. It should provide readers with a clear
understanding of the content.
No New Information: Abstracts should not introduce new
concepts, data, or references that are not already present in
the main document.
Structured: Depending on the document's requirements or
guidelines, abstracts may be structured with specific
sections, such as "Introduction," "Methods," "Results," and
"Conclusion."
Keywords: Abstracts often include a list of keywords or

STRUCTURE OF AN ABSTRACT
1.Title: The abstract should begin with the title of the research
paper, which should be clear, descriptive, and reflective of the
paper's content.
2.Introduction or Context: Provide a brief introduction or context
to the research problem or topic. This should set the stage for the
reader and highlight the significance of the research.
3.Research Objectives or Purpose: State the specific objectives or
purpose of the research. What were you trying to achieve or
investigate in your study?
4.Methods or Approach: Describe the research methods or
approach used in the study. This may include the research design,
data collection methods, and any analytical techniques employed.
5.Results or Findings: Summarize the key findings or results of
your research. Highlight the most important outcomes and any
significant trends or patterns discovered.
6.Discussion or Implications: Discuss the implications of your
findings. What do your results mean in the broader context of the

BASIC STRUCTURE OF
AN ABSTRACT
1.Keywords: include a list of keywords or
phrases that are relevant to your research.
These help readers find your paper in academic
databases and search engines.
2.Length: the length of an abstract can vary,
but it is typically recommended to keep it
between 150 to 250 words, depending on the
journal or conference's guidelines.
3.Format: ensure that the abstract is written in
a clear and concise manner, using formal
