Takeaways

• 😀 The research proposal serves as a roadmap for researchers, guiding their study, ensuring ethical review, and obtaining necessary funding.
• 😀 A proposal should follow a clear structure: Title, Chapter 1 (Introduction), Chapter 2 (Literature Review), and Chapter 3 (Methodology).
• 😀 The first chapter (Pendahuluan) includes essential elements like background, problem formulation, objectives, and optional hypotheses.
• 😀 A research proposal must not exceed 8 pages, excluding the cover and appendices, to avoid disqualification in competitions or academic settings.
• 😀 A good research title should be short, precise, and clearly convey the focus of the study.
• 😀 The background section of the proposal (latar belakang) should explain why the research is important and support it with relevant data or references.
• 😀 The novelty (kebaruan) section highlights the unique aspects of the proposed research, ensuring it addresses a gap or offers new insights.
• 😀 Research problems should be formulated as specific questions, clearly outlining the scope and variables of the study.
• 😀 Objectives of the research should be clearly stated, with general objectives encompassing the overall goal and specific objectives detailing individual research aims.
• 😀 Originality is critical in a proposal, ensuring that the research offers something new or innovative in comparison to previous studies.
• 😀 Research ideas can be generated by observing real-world problems, reading scientific articles, or discussing with experts in the field.

Q & A

What is the main purpose of a research proposal?

A research proposal serves several purposes: as a guide for the researcher, to meet educational requirements (such as for thesis or dissertations), to obtain ethical approval, and to secure funding for the research.

Why is it important to follow the proposal structure in research competitions like Kopsychus?

Following the proposal structure is crucial because it ensures the submission meets the competition's guidelines and avoids disqualification due to exceeding the page limit or missing required sections. It also helps in presenting a clear and concise research plan.

What are the key components that should be included in the research proposal?

The research proposal should include a title, introduction (including background, problem formulation, objectives, and hypotheses), literature review, methodology (including research design, data collection, and analysis), and references.

How should the title of a research proposal be crafted?

The title should be concise, clear, and accurately represent the core of the research. It should be free from unnecessary complexity, and it is recommended to use unique acronyms or abbreviations to make it memorable.

What approach can researchers use to generate ideas for their research topic?

Researchers can generate ideas by observing problems in their surroundings, reviewing scientific articles related to their area of interest, evaluating previous research, and discussing ideas with experts or professors.

What is the function of the background section in a research proposal?

The background section is designed to engage the reader and demonstrate the significance of the research. It highlights the importance, novelty, and the potential impact of the proposed study, helping to justify the need for the research.

How should the background of the proposal be structured?

The background should follow a structure: first explaining the situation, followed by the problem, reviewing previous research, and highlighting the novelty of the current research. This helps frame the research's contribution to the field.

What is the significance of including references to previous studies in the proposal?

Including references to previous studies helps to contextualize the research, show gaps in existing knowledge, and demonstrate the originality of the current study. It also provides credibility and supports the arguments made in the proposal.

What is the role of hypotheses in a research proposal, and are they mandatory?

Hypotheses provide a testable statement that guides the research and provides clarity on what the researcher expects to find. They are not always required in every research proposal and are optional in some cases, depending on the nature of the study.

What are the potential benefits of the research proposed in the example regarding blue light exposure and CVS?

The proposed research could offer new solutions for reducing eye strain caused by blue light exposure, which could benefit individuals who use laptops extensively, and provide insights into preventing or mitigating Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS).
