COMMUNICATION SKILLS Student’s Name Professor’s Name Institution Course Date A description of the final research topic The topic of the final research is examining the challenges of communication skills in project management students in Australia. The project is essential for project managers, students, and lecturers. A brief rationale to justify the need and significance for the project The project is essential and significant in different ways. The first way is associated with the need to know the level of challenges that are associated with communication when it comes to managing projects in Australia (Todorović et al. 2015). It is imperative to note that projects in the higher education sector will never end and this is because they are part and parcel of the curriculum. A challenge cannot be solved if its level of severity has not been established. The project comes in place to make sure that the level of the challenge has been identified and that will help in looking for a suitable solution (Niazi et al. 2016). The second significance is associated with the need to understand the essence of communication during projects among the students of Australia. By examining the challenges that the students face, it will be easier to see the extent that the communication aspect affects the overall delivery of the project. The essence of a concept can only be known by looking into the effects that come with the absence of the concept. Therefore, in the case of the project, the project will help to understand the essence of communication in the management of projects. Research questions or hypothesis 1. What are some of the common communication challenges that the students face while managing projects? 1. What is the essence of communication in the management of projects? 1. To what extent can communication challenges affect the overall performance of team members in a project? A brief Methodology The qualitative methodology will be the most suitable in the case of the project (Lewis, 2015). Three essential tools for collecting data will be utilized. The first tool will be the interview, the second; questionnaire, the third; focus groups (Moen & Middelthon, 2015). Random sampling will be the method that will be used in choosing the participants for the research. The targeted participants will be the students and the lecturers. The reason why the students will be involved is that they are the center for attention. The lecturers have experience when it comes to working with the students, especially during projects. Therefore, they have observed the students, and they must have beneficial information to the research team. Expected research findings and their implication The findings of the research are expected to answer all the three research questions. They are expected to help in outlining the communication challenges that the students go through, the extent to which the challenges affect the overall outcomes of the research, and the essenc.
