This document provides guidance on how to write a research proposal. It discusses the key components of a proposal, including an introduction, statement of the problem, objectives, and research questions or hypotheses. The introduction should provide background on the research topic and importance of the study. The problem statement should clearly identify the research problem and justify why it needs investigation. Objectives must be specific, measurable, and testable. The proposal also describes defining key terms and setting the scope and limitations of the study. Developing a strong research proposal is important to communicate the researcher's plan and obtain approval to conduct the study.

18. “Aproblem might bedefinedasthe issuethat exists in the
literature, theory, or practice that leadsto aneed for the
study” (Creswell, 1994, p. 50).
Effectiveproblem statements answerthe question “Whydoes
this research need to be conducted.”
STATEMENT OF THE
PROBLEM

19. Normally aresearch topic shouldsatisfythe following
criteria:
(i) state the keyvariablesincluded in the study,
(ii) state relationship between variables,
(iii) state population to whichresults would be applicable,
(iv) avoidredundant words, and
(v) useonlyacceptablescientific terms.

numerically stated.
Objectives should be attainable, measurable, achievable and
testable.
