Evaluation of research proposal
What is research?
The systematic investigation into and study of materials and sources in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions.
What is proposal?
A plan or suggestion, especially a formal or written one, put forward for consideration by others.
A research proposal “is a document that outlines how you propose to undertake your research studies” (Mouton 2001:p.44).
Definition of research proposal
A research proposal is a document written by a researcher that provides a detailed description of the proposed program,
It is like an outline of the entire research process that gives a reader a summary of the information discussed in a project.
Importance of research proposal
Helps examine what the researcher intends to do.
Research proposal can serve as a document of contract for the project.
Research proposals can be effective starting places to discuss projects with your professors, too.
The research proposal is able to give an overview of the research project so that other people understand the scope of the research, the significance of the research, as well as your proposed methodology and chosen research method.
Advantages of research proposal
Fund to support your research
Allow you to review and critically evaluate your current research program
Convince yourself and others that your research is worth supporting
Keep you focused on your research program
Develop novel ideas during writing proposal.
Relationship of research proposal with research
Research proposal is a plan, and research is action.
Research proposal is compulsory for approving proposed research.
Research proposal is a schedule and research is activity.
Research proposal is a mirror of research
Research proposal is a blue print of research.
Research proposal can serve as a document of contract for the project.
Types of research proposal
There are two major types of research proposal;
Academic:
• An academic proposal is the first step in producing a thesis or major project. Its intent is to convince a supervisor or academic committee that your topic and approach are sound,
Non-academ

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.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

27. Butterflies and diurnal moths along road verges:
Does road type affect diversity and abundance?
28. fragmentation of semi-natural grasslands (Rassi et al.,2001). Butterflies, in particular, have suffered from the decline of
meadow area resulting from the rationalisation of farming methods (Pitka¨nen et al., 2001; Saarinen, 2002). This
development has increased the importance of road verges and other linear elements in the landscape, such as field verges,
power line cuttings and railroad embankments, in the conservation of biodiversity.
The Finnish road network, totalling approximately 384,000 km in 2003, consists of public roads (20%), urban streets (7%)
and private roads (73%) (Heinio¨ and Oras, 2003). Although private roads predominate, the public roads, which carry 66%
of all road traffic in Finland, have the widest verges under the regular management organised by the Finnish Road
Administration.
In the absence of precise data we have estimated the area of mown verges along the public roads as 85,000 ha (Jantunen et
al., 2004). Including the private roads, urban streets and other inherent structures such as intersections, lay-bys and road-
cuttings, the area of managed roadside habitats in Finland comes to approximately 140,000 ha, which is sevenfold in
comparison to the remaining area of semi-natural grasslands (Vainio et al., 2001).
For butterflies, road verges provide large quantities of open habitats, but their quality is reduced by many physical and
chemical features, such as extreme microclimatic conditions (Kontiokari, 1992), traffic-induced dust and pollutants
(Koeleman et al., 1999; Askling et al., 2001), de-icing salts in the soil (Liem et al.,1985) and road kills (Mckenna et al.,
2001; Ries et al.,2001). The structure and nutrient composition of the soil, together with mowing once or twice a year,
however, are features that meadows and road verges have in common.
In Finland, the roadside vegetation is mown between mid-June and September, the cut material is rarely removed and bushes
and other woody plants are also cut at regular intervals of 3–5 years (Finnish Road administration, 2000). Although mowing
is considered to increase plant diversity (Parr and Way, 1988; Persson, 1995), no thorough investigations of the road verge
flora have been conducted in Finland. A diverse flora creates the foundation for a rich fauna of butterflies in the form of
nectar resources for adults and food plants for larvae. These relationships have been well researched in agricultural
environments, but few studies on butterfly communities along roads have as yet been made (Munguira and Thomas, 1992;
Gerell, 1997; Bak et al., 1998).
We studied communities of butterflies and day-active moths along the verges of public roads differing in respect to the
management regime, the size of the road and the width of the verge. Based on the importance of habitat patch area in
butterfly metapopulations (e.g., Hill et al., 1996; Thomas and Hanski, 1997; Wahlberg et al., 2002), the main hypothesis was
that the wider the road and its verge, the higher the species richness and abundance of the verge fauna. The most important
environmental factors related to high species richness and population densities of Lepidoptera, meadow species in particular,
were also determined.
