What makes a GOOD research proposal?

Relevance, either to the work of the funding body or to the student’s course.

The research is unique, or offers new insight or development.

The title, aims and objectives are all clear and succinct.

Comprehensive and thorough background research and literature review has been undertaken.

Page 3: Writing Chapters 1, 2, 3 of the Capstone Project Proposal Manuscript

There is a good match between the issues to be addressed and the approach being adopted.

The researcher demonstrates relevant background knowledge and/or experience.

Timetable, resources and budget have all been worked out thoroughly, with most eventualities covered.

Useful policy and practice implications.04/12/233 Prepared by: SB Satorre

Reasons Why Research Proposals FAIL Aims and objectives are unclear or vague. There is a mismatch between the

approach being adopted and the issues to be addressed.

The overall plan is too ambitious and difficult to achieve in the timescale.

The researcher does not seem to have conducted enough in-depth background research.

Problem is of insufficient importance.

Information about the data collection is insufficiently detailed.

Information about the data analysis method is insufficiently detailed.

Timescale is inappropriate or unrealistic. Resources and budget have not been

carefully thought out. This topic has been done too many

times before – indicates a lack in background research.

PROBLEM

04/12/23Prepared by: SB Satorre6

any significant, perplexing and challenging situation, real or artificial, the solution of which requires reflective thinking

a perplexing situation after it has been translated into a question or series of questions that help the direction of subsequent inquiry

Page 7: Writing Chapters 1, 2, 3 of the Capstone Project Proposal Manuscript

Elements of a Research Problem

04/12/23Prepared by: SB Satorre7

1. Aim or purpose of the problem for investigation. This answers the question “Why?”

Why is there an investigation, inquiry or study?

2. The subject matter or topic to be investigated. This answers the question “What?”

What is to be investigated or studied?

Page 8: Writing Chapters 1, 2, 3 of the Capstone Project Proposal Manuscript

04/12/23Prepared by: SB Satorre8

3. The place or locale where the research is to be conducted. This answers the question “Where?”

Where is the study to be conducted?

4. The period or time of the study during which the data are to be gathered. This answers the question “When?”

When is the study to be carried out?

Page 9: Writing Chapters 1, 2, 3 of the Capstone Project Proposal Manuscript

04/12/23Prepared by: SB Satorre9

5. Population or universe from whom the data are to be collected. This answers the question “Who?” “From whom?”

Who are the respondents? From whom are the data to be

gathered?

Characteristics of a Research Problem

04/12/23Prepared by: SB Satorre10

Specific

Achievable

Realistic

Time-bound

Measurable

Page 11: Writing Chapters 1, 2, 3 of the Capstone Project Proposal Manuscript

04/12/23Prepared by: SB Satorre11

Specific: The problem should be specifically stated.

Measurable: It is easy to measure by using research instruments, apparatus, or equipment.

Achievable: Solutions to a research problem are achievable or feasible.

Realistic: Real results are attained because they are gathered scientifically and not manipulated or maneuvered.

Time-bound: Time frame is required in every activity because the shorter completion of the activity, the better.

Sources of Research Problem

04/12/23Prepared by: SB Satorre12

Specialization of the researcher Current and Past Researches Recommendations from theses, dissertations,

and research journals Original and creative ideas of the researcher

based on the problems met in the locality and country

Criteria of a Good Research Problem

04/12/23Prepared by: SB Satorre13

Interesting Innovative Cost-effective Relevant to the needs and problems of the

people Relevant to government’s thrusts Measurable and time-bound

Page 14: Writing Chapters 1, 2, 3 of the Capstone Project Proposal Manuscript

Guidelines in Writing the Research Title

04/12/23Prepared by: SB Satorre14

1. Research Title must be reflective of its problem.

2. It must answer the following questions: What question will answer the following

What are you trying to investigate? What are you trying to find out, determine or

discover? Who question will answer who are the

respondents or subjects of the study. Where question will indicate the research

locale, setting or the place where the research study is conducted.

Components of a Capstone Project Proposal Manuscript

04/12/23Prepared by: SB Satorre15

Chapter I – Introduction Chapter II – Review of Related Literature Chapter III – Technical Background Chapter IV – Methodology

Page 16: Writing Chapters 1, 2, 3 of the Capstone Project Proposal Manuscript

Chapter I - Introduction

04/12/23Prepared by: SB Satorre16

1. Project Context2. Purpose and Description of the Project3. Objectives of the Project4. Scope and Limitations of the Project

Page 17: Writing Chapters 1, 2, 3 of the Capstone Project Proposal Manuscript

Project Context

04/12/23Prepared by: SB Satorre17

(must be at least 2 pages of presentation and discussions of…)

1.The proponent should introduce the presentation of the problem, that is, what is the problem is all about. The proponent should describe the existing and prevailing problem situation based on his or her experience. This scope may be global, national, or regional and local.

Page 18: Writing Chapters 1, 2, 3 of the Capstone Project Proposal Manuscript

04/12/23Prepared by: SB Satorre18

2. The proponent should give strong justification for selecting such research problem in his/her capacity as a researcher. Being part of the organization or systems and the desire and concern to improve the systems.

3. The researcher state a sentence or two that would show the link and relationship of the rationale of the study to the proposed research problem.

Page 19: Writing Chapters 1, 2, 3 of the Capstone Project Proposal Manuscript

Purpose and Description of the Project What is the function of your project? What is good in your project? What makes your project unique,

innovative, and relevant?

04/12/23Prepared by: SB Satorre19

Page 20: Writing Chapters 1, 2, 3 of the Capstone Project Proposal Manuscript

Guidelines in Formulating the Objectives of the Project:

04/12/23Prepared by: SB Satorre20

1. Start with the General Objective which is very parallel to the project title.

2. Explode the general objective into Specific Objectives that will help realize the proposed study.

3. Objectives should be SMART

Page 21: Writing Chapters 1, 2, 3 of the Capstone Project Proposal Manuscript

Scope and Limitations of the Project Think the project scope as a box. High-

level scope defines the sides of the box and separates what is relevant to your project from what is irrelevant.

The scope refers to the work that needs to be accomplished to deliver a product, service, or result with the specified features and functions.

The scope explains the nature, coverage, and time frame of the study

04/12/23Prepared by: SB Satorre21

Page 22: Writing Chapters 1, 2, 3 of the Capstone Project Proposal Manuscript

The limitation, on the other hand, explains all that are NOT included in your project.

In other words, the scope of the project gives an overview all the deliverables (i.e. the things that your project gives/delivers), and the tools and technologies used that will be used in the project development while the limitations of the project are the boundaries of the project (i.e. areas/things that are out of scope).

Chapter II – Review of Related Literature

04/12/23Prepared by: SB Satorre23

A survey or review of related literature and studies is very important because such reviews literature and studies serve as a foundation of the proposed study. This is because related literature and studies guide the researcher in pursuing his research venture.

Page 24: Writing Chapters 1, 2, 3 of the Capstone Project Proposal Manuscript

The following are the different ways on how the review of related literature and studies help as a guide to the researcher:

They help or guide the researcher in searching for or selecting a better research problem or topic.

They help the investigator understand his topic for research better.

They ensure that there will be no duplication of other studies.

04/12/23Prepared by: SB Satorre24

Page 25: Writing Chapters 1, 2, 3 of the Capstone Project Proposal Manuscript

They help and guide the researcher in locating more sources of related information.

They help the researcher in making his research design.

They help and guide the researcher in making comparison between his findings with the findings of other researchers on similar studies with the end in view of formulating generalizations or principles which are the contributions of the study to the fund of knowledge.

Page 26: Writing Chapters 1, 2, 3 of the Capstone Project Proposal Manuscript

Characteristics of Related Literature and Studies The surveyed materials must be as recent as

possible. Materials reviewed must be objective and

unbiased. Materials surveyed must be relevant to the

study. Surveyed materials must have been based

upon genuinely original and true facts or data to make them valid and reliable.

Reviewed materials must not be too few or too many.

Review of Related LiteratureThis portion of the proposal manuscript contains

presentations and discussions of the following two (2) components:

1. Related Theories2. Related Projects

04/12/23Prepared by: SB Satorre30

Page 31: Writing Chapters 1, 2, 3 of the Capstone Project Proposal Manuscript

Guidelines in Writing the Review of Related Systems1. Related Theories

1. Outline first, starting off with an anchor theory2. Supporting theories help elaborate the anchor theory3. Endnoting and footnoting is important which follows

correct bibliography entry4. Fluidity and continuity should be observed

2. Related Projects1. Overview of the current system/project2. Inventory of every related and existing

projects/systems3. Fluidity and continuity should be observed4. Comparative matrix may be more appropriate 5. Screen shots help make the presentation believable6. May consider 3 to 6 related studies/projects
