Q & A

What is the purpose of a proposal seminar?

The proposal seminar is a stage where students present their research plans to receive feedback on whether their research is feasible and can be continued.

What types of revisions might a proposal receive?

Revisions can be classified as minor, which involve small adjustments without changing the theme or method, and major, which may require changes to variables, methods, or even the research topic.

What should students do if their proposal is rejected?

Students should seek clarification from their supervisors, revise their proposals, and consider discussing their ideas with other faculty members or peers for guidance.

What is meant by 'research gap'?

A research gap refers to an unanswered question or problem in existing literature, which the new study aims to address.

What are some common questions that examiners may ask during a proposal seminar?

Examiners may ask about the research title and its significance, the problem being addressed, the novelty of the research, the research questions, and the methods used.

How should students explain the significance of their research?

Students should articulate both practical and academic benefits, demonstrating how their research contributes to theory and its potential application in real-world contexts.

What role do variables play in research proposals?

Variables are crucial for understanding the relationships being studied; students should clearly identify independent, dependent, and any mediating or moderating variables.

Why is it important to have a well-structured proposal?

A well-structured proposal indicates seriousness and professionalism, helping to create a positive impression on the examiners and increasing the likelihood of approval.

What is the importance of using appropriate methodology in research?

The methodology must align with the research objectives; selecting the right method is crucial for accurately addressing the research questions and obtaining valid results.

How can students ensure their literature review is adequate?

Students should compare their research with previous studies, noting similarities and differences, and ensure all cited works are included in the bibliography.
