Buat Proposal Tesis Mudah Banget dan Cepat Bab 1 dan 2

Summary

In this video, the speaker provides a comprehensive guide to preparing a thesis, focusing on creating a solid proposal and background. They emphasize the importance of empirical research, particularly finding 10 journals (5 international and 5 local) to support the thesis. Key steps include determining the research title, creating a focused background, and formulating the research problem. The speaker also stresses the significance of including theoretical frameworks, previous research findings, and conceptual frameworks to strengthen the thesis. The advice is practical and targeted at students aiming to craft a well-researched and methodically sound thesis.

Takeaways

• 😀 Determine the title of your thesis early and ensure you can find at least 10 empirical research journals to support it, with 5 international and 5 local journals.
• 😀 In your background section, clearly identify the phenomenon (e.g., digital marketing, website influence) and the problem you are addressing (e.g., buying interest).
• 😀 The background must include previous research, highlighting both supporting and contradictory findings to demonstrate the research gap (G-Preset).
• 😀 The formulation of the research problem should clearly state what your study intends to investigate, such as the impact of relationship marketing on buying interest.
• 😀 Use at least 10 previous research journals as an empirical basis and make sure to include theoretical frameworks and relevant indicators for your study variables.
• 😀 Structure your background effectively by addressing the phenomenon, the problem (Y), and what influences it (e.g., brand awareness, relationship marketing, website presence).
• 😀 When writing the background, each paragraph should have a clear and organized structure, avoiding overly narrow or wide paragraphs.
• 😀 The problem formulation should lead directly to the research objectives and the benefits of your research, both theoretical and practical.
• 😀 The theoretical benefits should explain why your research is necessary and what new theoretical insights it will contribute.
• 😀 For the proposal, focus on presenting clear, concise, and structured information that flows logically from the title and background to the research objectives.
• 😀 Keep in mind that the selection of research journals and the theories you include should align with your research objectives, focusing on relevant frameworks and variables.

Q & A

What is the first step in preparing a thesis proposal?

The first step is determining the title of your thesis. Once the title is chosen, it's crucial to find at least 10 research journals or empirical sources that will serve as the basis for your research.

Why is it important to include empirical research journals in the proposal?

Empirical research journals are essential because they provide the evidence and background needed to support the research. At least 10 journals should be included, with 5 being internationally accredited and 5 local, to establish a solid empirical foundation.

How does the background section of the thesis help in the research process?

The background section is critical as it introduces the phenomenon, problem, and existing research related to the thesis topic. It helps define the research gap, clarify the main problem, and explain why the research is needed.

What should be included in the first paragraph of the background section?

The first paragraph should discuss the phenomenon, the broader context of the issue at hand. For example, the rapid development of digital technology could be the basis for discussing the importance of websites in modern business.

How should the problem be framed in the background section?

The problem should be framed by connecting the phenomenon to a more specific issue. For example, why is 'buying interest' important, and what factors influence it? The research should focus on understanding what impacts buying interest in the context of websites and marketing.

What is the significance of including previous research in the background?

Previous research is crucial because it highlights what has already been studied, provides empirical evidence, and shows where there are gaps in existing theories. This helps justify why the current research is necessary and what new insights it aims to bring.

What is the concept of 'G-presets' mentioned in the transcript?

G-presets refer to gaps or inconsistencies in existing research that your thesis aims to address. By pointing out differences or contradictions in previous studies, the research highlights areas where further exploration is needed.

How should the variables in the research be chosen?

The variables should be chosen based on the research topic and the existing literature. For example, if studying the impact of websites on buying interest, the independent variables (X1, X2) might include website design and brand awareness, while the dependent variable (Y) would be buying interest.

Why is it important to find a conceptual framework when creating a thesis?

A conceptual framework is essential because it visually represents the relationships between variables and helps organize the research. It guides the study and allows researchers to clearly present their hypotheses and the connections they expect to find.

What role do theoretical and general benefits play in the proposal?

Theoretical benefits justify the academic value of the research, explaining how it contributes to existing knowledge. General benefits, on the other hand, explain how the research can be useful for practitioners, future research, or businesses.
