1. When choosing a project topic, pick something that has enough available information by doing a preliminary search.
2. School projects involve researching a topic and presenting findings through writing or multimedia. This requires finding, evaluating, and incorporating other researchers' work, not just your own knowledge.
3. Defining a focused research question is key to choosing a good topic. Brainstorm topics of interest and use keywords to search databases and websites for background information to help formulate a research question and thesis statement.

DefinitionThe goal of a research proposal is to present and justif.docxpetehbailey729071
Definition
The goal of a research proposal is to present and justify the need to study a research problem and to present the practical ways in which the proposed study should be conducted. The design elements and procedures for conducting the research are governed by standards within the predominant discipline in which the problem resides, so guidelines for research proposals are more exacting and less formal than a general project proposal. Research proposals contain extensive literature reviews. They must provide persuasive evidence that a need exists for the proposed study. In addition to providing a rationale, a proposal describes detailed methodology for conducting the research consistent with requirements of the professional or academic field and a statement on anticipated outcomes and/or benefits derived from the study's completion.
Krathwohl, David R.
How to Prepare a Dissertation Proposal: Suggestions for Students in Education and the Social and Behavioral Sciences
. Syracuse, NY: Syracuse University Press, 2005.
How to Approach Writing a Research Proposal
Your professor may assign the task of writing a research proposal for the following reasons:
Develop your skills in thinking about and designing a comprehensive research study;
Learn how to conduct a comprehensive review of the literature to ensure a research problem has not already been answered [or you may determine the problem has been answered ineffectively] and, in so doing, become better at locating scholarship related to your topic;
Improve your general research and writing skills;
Practice identifying the logical steps that must be taken to accomplish one's research goals;
Critically review, examine, and consider the use of different methods for gathering and analyzing data related to the research problem; and,
Nurture a sense of inquisitiveness within yourself and to help see yourself as an active participant in
the process of
doing scholarly research.
A proposal should contain all the key elements involved in designing a completed research study, with sufficient information that allows readers to assess the validity and usefulness of your proposed study. The only elements missing from a research proposal are the findings of the study and your analysis of those results. Finally, an effective proposal is judged on the quality of your writing and, therefore, it is important that your writing is coherent, clear, and compelling.
Regardless of the research problem you are investigating and the methodology you choose, all research proposals must address the following questions:
What do you plan to accomplish?
Be clear and succinct in defining the research problem and what it is you are proposing to research.
Why do you want to do it?
In addition to detailing your research design, you also must conduct a thorough review of the literature and provide convincing evidence that it is a topic worthy of study. Be sure to answer the "So What?" question.
How are you going to do it?

to modify your topic during the research process, you can never make certain of what you may discover. You may find excessively and need to limit your focus or excessively little and need to widen your core interest. This is an ordinary piece of the research process. While researching, you may not wish to change your topic, however, you may choose that some other part of the subject is more manageable and interesting.

Unit 4: Lecture
Developing a Proposal
Unit 4 focuses on developing your topic for your final report and conducting some preliminary research for your final project. Your reading for this unit (Chs. 15, 17 and Appendix C ) cover how to research and write proposals, as well as how to cite your work in a business report. Make sure to review these chapters carefully as you prepare your discussion and assignment for this unit.
What are Proposals?
A proposal is a persuasive genre in which a writer convinces an audience to accept or approve some course of action. As your book says, “proposals argue for work that needs to be done” (552).
In business contexts, a proposal might outline a new policy and request implementation or request money to fund a special project. For our purposes, your proposal will focus on seeking approval for your topic for your final business report.
According to Ch. 17, good business proposals answer the following questions:
· What problem are you going to solve or what opportunity do you hope to fill?
· Why does the problem need to be solved now or the opportunity explored immediately?
· How are you going to solve it?
· Can you do the work?
· Why should you be the one to do it?
· When will you complete the work?
· How much will you charge?
· What exactly will you provide for us?
For our purpose in this class, we are not going to worry about the questions about timelines, qualifications, or fees, as our timeline is already set, everyone has to do the report, and you will be writing your report for experience and learning, rather than money. However, be mindful that in a real world situation, all of these questions may be important to address.
Defining a Problem to Explore in your Proposal and Report:
According to Ch. 15, a good problem to explore for a business report should use the following guidelines:
· The problem is real, significant enough to be worth solving, and narrow but challenging
· The audience is also real and has the power to make decisions based on your report
· The evidence (e.g. data, facts, sources) is sufficient to show the importance of the problem and to prove that your recommendations will solve the problem.
When writing your proposal, use the advice in Chapter 15 about writing a purpose statement and review the example on pg. 492.
How to Conduct Research:
There is a wide range of research available to you that could be used to develop your report.
For example, you may find any or all of these types useful in a business report:
· Newspaper articles (For example, The Washington Post)
· Articles in popular magazines or non-fiction books (for example, Newsweek)
· Articles in industry-specific publications (for example, HR Magazine)
· Websites and publications of professional organizations (for example, The National Association of Business Management Professionals)
· Journal articles and books written by academics (for example, Business Communication Quarterly)
· Surveys or interviews you have cond ...

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Factors to consider before choosing school project topics
1. FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING YOUR PROJECT TOPICS
Be sure to pick a topic that will have enough information available. Do a preliminary search to
see if there is enough information about your topic.
School project work is an essay that presents the results of a student’s research of a particular
topic in print, electronic, or multimedia format. The skill involves finding, evaluating, and
assimilating the ideas of other researchers and this is essential in any field of study. Unlike other
essay writing, a research project work follows the same processes as other kinds of writing, from
planning through drafting to revising, but the difference is that instead of relying exclusively on
what you already know about a topic, you rather include source materials, facts, data,
knowledge, or opinions of other researchers to support your research project works.
The writing of the final year project is one of the most challenging times that every student faces
in their academic pursuits. It is not only because it is a definitive stage in their career, where they
must demonstrate all their academic potential, but because they must create an idea that
represents a contribution to the subject and can serve as an inspiration to other students and
professionals.
The very and the most essential key to quality work is in the choosing of the project topic and In
this article, we will discuss several tips that help to know how to choose research topics,
especially in those fields of knowledge related to the social sciences, and humanities.
How To Choose A Good Research Topic
A supervisor may assign you a specific project topic, but most often supervisors require you to
select your own final year project topics of interest. The ability to develop a research project
topic is a very important skill, and when deciding on a topic, there are a few more things that you
will need to do.
1. brainstorm for ideas
2. choose a topic that will enable you to read and understand the literature
3. ensure that the topic is manageable and that material is available
4. make a list of keywords
2. 5. be flexible
6. define your topic as a focused research question
7. research and read more about your topic
8. formulate a thesis statement
Be aware of the fact that choosing a good research topic may not be easy. It must be narrow and
focused enough to be interesting, yet broad enough to find adequate information. Before
choosing your school project topics, make sure you know what your final project should look
like. Each supervisor will likely require a different format or style of research project work.
Use the steps below and it will guide you through the process of selecting a good research topic.
Brainstorm for topic ideas
Use the following questions to help generate project topic ideas. Choose a topic that wills
interests you.
1. Do you have a personal issue, problem, or interest that you would like to know more
about?
2. Is there an aspect of a class that you are interested in learning more about?
3. Do you have a research paper due for a class this semester?
4. Did you read or see a news story recently that has piqued your interest or made you angry
or anxious?
5. Do you have a strong opinion on a current social or political controversy?
Look at some of the following topically oriented Web sites and research sites for ideas.
a. Are you interested in current events, government, politics, or the social sciences?
i. Try Punch or Vanguard
a. Are you interested in health or medicine?
i. Look in Healthfinder.gov, Health & Wellness Resource Center, or the National
Library of Medicine
3. a. Are you interested in the Humanities; art, literature, music?
i. Browse links from the National Endowment for the Humanities
a. For other subject areas try:
i. the Scout Report or the Nigerian Times/ College Web sites
Could these terms help or be useful in forming more focused project topic ideas? Write down
any keywords or concepts that may be of interest to you.
Be fully aware of overused ideas when deciding on a topic. You may wish to avoid topics ideas
such as, abortion, gun control, teen pregnancy, or suicide except you feel you have a unique
approach to the topic. Ask your supervisor for project topic ideas if you feel you are stuck or
need additional guidance.
Read General Background Information
Read a general encyclopedia article on the top two or three topics you are considering.
Reading a broad summary enables you to get an overview of the topic and see how your
idea relates to broader, narrower, and related issues. It also provides a great source for
finding words commonly used to describe the topic. These keywords may be very useful
to your later research. If you can’t find an article on your topic, try using broader terms,
and ask for help from a librarian. Browse the Encyclopedia Africa for information on
your topic ideas. Notice that both online encyclopedias provide links to magazine articles
and Web sites. These are listed in the left or the right margins.
Use periodical indexes to scan current magazine, journal, or newspaper articles on your
topic. Ask a librarian if they can help you to browse articles on your school project topics
of interest.
Use Web search engines. Google and Bing are currently considered to be two of the best
search engines to find web sites on the topic.
Focus on Your Topic Ideas
4. Note that a research topic will be very difficult to research if it is too broad or too narrow,
just keepit manageable. One way to narrow a broad topic such as "the environment" is to
limit your topic. Some common ways to limit a topic are:
By geographical area
For example What environmental issues are most important in Southwestern Nigeria
By culture
For example: How does the environment fit into the Ibibio world view?
By the time frame:
For example: What are the most prominent environmental issues of the last 10 years?
By discipline
For example: How does environmental awareness affect business practices today?
By population group
For example: What are the effects of air pollution on senior citizens?
Remember that a topic may be too difficult to research if it is too:
Locally confined – Research project topics that are specifically may only be covered in
these (local) newspapers, if at all.
Example: What sources of pollution affect the Oron water supply?
Recent - If a topic is quite recent, books or journal articles may not be available, but
newspaper or magazine articles may be. Also, Web sites related to the topic may or may
not be available.
Broadly interdisciplinary - You could be overwhelmed with superficial information.
F or example: How can the environment contribute to the culture, politics, and society of
the Southern states?
5. popular - You will only find very popular articles about some undergraduate project
topics such as sports figures and high-profile celebrities and musicians.
If you have any difficulties or questions with focusing your topic, discuss the topic with your
supervisor, or with a librarian
Make a List of Useful Keywords
Keep track of the words that are used to describe your project topic.
Look for words that best describe your project topic
Look for them when reading encyclopedia articles and background and general
information
Find broader and narrower terms, synonyms, key concepts for keywords to widen your
search capabilities
Make note of these words and use them later when searching for databases and catalogs
Try And Be Flexible
It is very common to modify your topic during your research process. You can never be sure of
what you may find. You may find too much and need to narrow your focus, or too little and need
to broaden your focus. This is a normal part of the research process. When researching, you may
not wish to change your topic, but you may decide that some other aspect of the topic is more
interesting or manageable.
Keep in mind the assigned length of the research paper, project, bibliography, or another
research assignment. Be aware of the depth of coverage needed and the due date. These
important factors may help you decide how much and when you will modify your topic. You
supervisor will probably provide specific requirements, if not the table below may provide a
rough guide:
Assigned Length of ResearchPaper or
Project
Suggestedguidelines for approximate number and types of sources
needed
6. Assigned Length of ResearchPaper or
Project
Suggestedguidelines for approximate number and types of sources
needed
1-2 page paper 2-3 magazine articles or Web sites
3-5 page paper
4-8 items, including book, articles (scholarly and/or popular), and Web
sites
Annotated Bibliography
6-15 items including books, scholarly articles, Web sites, and other
items
10-15 page research paper
12-20 items, including books, scholarly articles, web sites, and other
items
Define Your Topic as a Focused Research Question
You will often begin with a word, develop a more focused interest in an aspect of something
relating to that word, and then begin to have questions about the topic.
For example:
Ideas = Emmanuel Nathaniel Mkpoikanke or modern architecture
Research Question = How has Emmanuel Nathaniel Mkpoikanke influenced modern
architecture?
Focused Research Question = What design principles used by Emmanuel Nathaniel
Mkpoikanke are common in contemporary homes?
Research and Read More About Your Final Year Project Topic
Use the keywords you have gathered to research in the catalog, article databases, and Internet
search engines. Find more information to help you answer your research question.
You will need to do some research and reading before you select your final topic. Can you find
enough information to answer your research question? Remember, selecting a topic is an
important and complex part of the research process.
7. Formulate a Thesis Statement
Write your topic as a thesis statement. This may be the answer to your research question and also
a way to clearly state the purpose of your research. Your thesis statement will usually be one or
two sentences that state precisely what is to be answered, proven, or what you will inform your
audience about your topic.
The development of a thesis assumes there is sufficient evidence to support the thesis statement.
For example, a thesis statement could be: Emmanuel Nathaniel Mkpoikanke's design principles,
including his use of ornamental detail and his sense of space and texture opened a new era of
African architecture. His work has influenced contemporary residential design.
The title of your paper may not be exactly the same as your research question or your thesis
statement, but the title should clearly convey the focus, purpose, and meaning of your research.
For example, a title could be: Emmanuel Nathaniel Mkpoikanke: Key Principles of Design For
the Modern Home
Remember to follow any specific instructions from your supervisor.
Practical Exercises to Extend Your Learning
Identify three narrower aspects of the following broad project topics on Education. In other
words, what are three areas you could investigate that fit into these very broad undergraduate
project topics?
Sports
Pollution
Politics
Identify a broader topic that would cover the following narrow school project topics. In other
words, how could you expand these school project topics to find more information?
Menus in Ikot Ekpene prisons
Urban planning in Flint
Imagine that you have been assigned the following undergraduate project topics. Think of at
least five keywords you might use to look for information on each.
8. How does air quality affect our health?
What are the barriers to peace in the Middle East?
Should snowmobiling be allowed in wilderness areas?
How can welfare reform help poor children?
Tips: Refine Your Topic
Narrowing your subject to a more specific topic takes a bit of research and thought.
Here are some ideas to help you narrow your topic:
1. Talk to a friend to get ideas. They may give you ideas that didn't occur to you.
2. Use these questions:
o WHY did you choose the topic? What interests you about it? Do you have an
opinion about the issues involved?
o WHO are the information providers on this topic? Who might publish
information about it? Who is affected by the topic? Do you know of
organizations or institutions affiliated with the topic?
o WHAT are the major questions for this topic? Is there a debate about the topic?
Is there a range of issues and viewpoints to consider?
o WHERE is your topic important: at the local, national, or international level?
Are there specific places affected by the topic?
o WHEN is/was your topic important? Is it a current event or a historical issue? Do
you want to compare your topic by time periods?
3. Turn your topic into a question. You will be trying to answer this question with your
research. Think about something you would like to try to prove or argue.
4. Make sure to pick a topic that will have enough information available. Do a preliminary
search to see if there is enough information about your topic.
