This research proposal outlines Pujan Agrawal's planned research project. It includes definitions of key terms like research and research proposals. It describes the importance of research proposals and their relationship to the research process. The proposal lists the typical components of a research proposal, such as the title, introduction, literature review, methodology, and references. It also discusses types of research proposals, common errors to avoid, and thanks the reader for their time.

4. What is research
 The systematic investigation into study of materials and sources in order to
establish facts and reach new conclusions.

5. What is proposal
 A plan or suggestion, especially a formal one ,put forward for consideration
by others.
 The research proposal “is a document that outlines how you propose to
undertake your research studies’
(mouton 2001:p.44)

6. 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.

7. Improtance of the research proposal
 Helps examine what the research intends to do.
 Research proposal can serve as a document of contract for the project.
 Research proposal can be effective starting place 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.

8. 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

9. 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 be serve as a document of contract for the project

• There are two types of research proposal;

11. Components of research proposal
Title
 Precise and accurate
 Unambiguous
 Avoid extremely long titles
Introduction
 Orient the readers towards the topic.
 Explain the importance and relevance of the topic
 Justifies the choice of the topic.
 Research question/hypothesis.

12. Component of research proposal
Statement of the problem
 “the problem statement describes the context for the study and it also
identifies the general analysis approach”(Wiersma ,1995,p.404)
 Should indicate why the researchers needs to be done and what will be
its relevance
 Conveys information about a research problem.

13. Component of research proposal
Literature review
 It shares with the readers the research of other studies that are closely
related to the study being reported .
 It prevents the duplication of the work that has been done before.
 Theoretical framework
 A summary.

14. Component of research proposal
Hypotheses
 Build the case to support hypotheses with literature and data---no reinventing
the wheel
 Seeing is believing ; use schematic figures or diagrams to help reviewers
understand your model and idea
 State your hypothesis clearly in the abstract and specific aims; alternative
hypothesis in case
Objective of study
 The general objective of a study states what researchers expact to achive by
the study in general terms

15. Component of research proposal
Work plan
 Include the major phase of project :
 Estimate when you will start each stage of work ,and how long it will take
 Sequencing , flow and timeline of the study.

16. Component of research proposal
Methodology
 Subjective
 Interviews
 Questionnaires
 Discussions
 Surveys
 Objective
 Experimental
 Use of measuring devices
 Use of recording devices.

17. Component of research proposal
Research design
 Descriptive case
 Mixed metod
 Quantitative method design
 Qualitative method design
Population and sampling
 Indicate your sampling techniques , e.g.:
 Quantitative
 Size of sample
 Population
 Prevention of bias ,etc.

18. Component of research proposal
References
 List all references cited in the proposal
Make sure these references are :-
 Up-to-date
 Relevant
 Original source

19. The common error in proposal writing
 Too much details on minor issues , but not enough details in imajor issues
 Too many citation lapses and incorrect references
 Sloppy writing
 Failure to state all of the basic assumptions that are relavant to study.
 Concern irrelevant assumptions.
 Selecting unsubstantiated assumptions which cannot be defended by any
logic, empirical evidence.
