 To pursue your interests
 To learn something new
 To challenge yourself in new ways
 Enhances knowledge
 Builds credibility
 Essential for Advancement
 Real-World Applications

5. Steps For Writing Research Project:
Choosing a Research Topic:
Choosing a research topic can be exciting yet challenging. Here are some steps to
help you:
1. Identify your interest
 Start by brainstorming topics that genuinely interest you. Think about areas of
study that you are passionate about or curious to learn more about.
2. Explore existing literature
 Look into recent publications and research in your field of interest.
3.Consider feasibility
 Assess the feasibility of potential research topics. Consider factors such as
available resources, time constraints, and access to data or participants.

6. Steps For Writing Research Project:
4. Consult with experts
 Discuss your ideas with mentors, professors in the field.
 They can provide valuable insights and help you refine your
research topic.
5. Narrow down your focus
 Once you have a list of potential topics, narrow it down based on
your interests, feasibility, and the potential impact of the research.

7. Steps For Writing Research Project:
Developing a research question
It involves identifying a topic of interest which are:
1. Choose a Topic:
 Select a broad area of interest that you’re curious about or that aligns with your
field of study.
2. Narrow Down:
 Narrow down your topic based on your interests, available resources, and
feasibility.
3. Brainstorm:
 Generate several potential research questions that stem from your narrowed-
down topic.

8. Steps For Writing Research Project:
Introduction of Topic:
How to write an introduction chapter for a thesis
 Capture the reader's interest
 Give an overview of your research topic
 Detail how your research is going to make a contribution
 Explain what your interest is in the topic
 List your research objectives
 Give a forthcoming chapter overview
 Learn from others.

9. Conducting a literature Review:
Literature review:
 The literature review is where you will analyse and
evaluate existing research within your subject area.
 This section is where your secondary research will be
presented.
 A literature review is an integral part of your research
project as it brings validity to your research aims.

10. Conducting a literature Review:
What to include when writing your
literature review:
 A description of the publications
 A summary of the main points
 An evaluation on the contribution to the area of study
 Potential flaws and gaps in the research

11. Designing Research Methodology:
Methodology:
 The research paper methodology outlines the process of your
data collection.
 This is where you will present your primary research.
 The aim of the methodology section is to answer two
questions:
 Why did you select the research methods you used?
 How do these methods contribute towards your research
hypothesis?

12. Designing Research Methodology:
Methodology will be qualitative, quantitativeor mixed.
Qualitative Research:
 First hand observations such as interviews, focus groups, case studies and
questionnaires. The data collected will generally be non-numerical.
Quantitative research:
 It deals in numbers and logic. The data collected will focus on statistics and
numerical patterns.
Mixed Research:
 It includes both quantitative and qualitative research. The methodology section
should always be written in the past tense, even if you have already started your
data collection.

13. Collecting and Analyzing Data:
In Methodology, data is collected and analyzed in various ways.
Data Collection Methods:
 Overview of various data collection
 Surveys/questionnaires
 Interviews
 Observations
 Secondary data sources
Advantages and disadvantages of each method:
Considerations for selecting the appropriate method. Accurate, systematic, and
ethical gathering of information

14. Collecting and Analyzing Data:
Data Analysis:
 Outline clear objectives, hypothesis, and data
collection methods.
 Data analysis involves a systematic process of
inspecting, cleaning, transforming, and interpreting
raw data to extract meaningful insights and make
informed decisions.

15. Findings and Results:
 Provide a brief overview of your research question
and methodology
 Summarize the key findings and results, using bullet
points or concise sentence
 Include any significant data points, trends, or patterns
 Consider using graphs or charts to visually represent
your findings if appropriate.

16. Conclusion:
 Reiterate the main purpose of your study and its
significance.
 Summarize the key findings and how they relate to
your research question.
 Discuss the implications of your findings in
relation to existing literature or real-world
applications.
 Conclude with any limitations of your study or
recommendations for future research.

17. Future Directions:
 Discuss potential avenues for future research based on
your findings.
 Identify unanswered questions or areas for further
exploration.
 Suggest potential methodologies or approaches that could
be used in future studies.
 Highlight the broader impact or significance of pursuing
these future directions.
