Research Project

Tips for Part 1:

• Describe the type(s) of research method(s) and tools you would use to gather your research data (also known as primary data).

• Outline the specifications of your research. Also, clearly define the aims, objectives, rationale for choosing your research topic and timelines for your research tasks. Outline the resources at your disposal for this

research.

• Explain the role of ethical codes and ethics committees in research and prepare a consent form for participants of your research.

• Undertake literature search on your chosen research topic and note down key references in text and in a reference list.

RESEARCH PROPOSAL GUIDE

Research Title
Research Question
Introduction
Background (Including rationale)
Aim(s)
Objectives
Literature Review
Research methodology including:

1.   How you will collect data-Quantitative/Qualitative methods (justify the choice of method as well as theoretical perspective)
2.   techniques you would use for
a.   sampling
b.   data analysis
c.   data presentation
Limitations of the study
They are the shortcomings, conditions or influences that cannot be controlled by the researcher that place restrictions on your methodology and conclusions. E.g.: time constraints, analysis, sample etc.

Overcoming Limitations of the study
This is where you mention the strategies you will put in place or thing you will do to help overcome the limitations mentioned above.

Research specifications specifying: all the steps you would follow in order to achieve your research outcomes (Work Plan/Timeline) e.g.:
i.   do a literature review
ii.   prepare a questionnaire
iii.   Prepare a timeline for research steps
iv.   prepare informed consent for participants
v.   validate questionnaire- Pilot testing
vi.   collect participants’ responses
vii.   etc.
Ethical Considerations/Issues
References
Show citation in text
Show a reference list of all citation used in text
Use appropriate referencing method for referencing
Appendix (should contain)
•   Informed consent
•   Questionnaire
•   Any other relevant documentation: e.g. permissions that allow you to do your research.
Please do not submit your proposal late. It must be submitted by the deadline for submission. Failure to submit your proposal on time would mean it will not be approved on time. You will have to wait for approval before you can

start your research. This will cause severe delay in when you can actually start your research
