T-W-1Quantitative Research. Proposals that are written in chapters are the most common but will differ in their content by disciplines and also by the type of proposal (i.e. quantitative or qualitative research). Students should work closely with the research adviser to determine the specific content required for the type of research to be conducted and for the discipline. The proposal is often the first three to four chapters of the student’s thesis or dissertation. The proposal is discussed in terms of what “will be” done in conducting the research.5
T-W-2Qualitative Research. Qualitative research proposals may vary considerably, yet they do contain some common features. The specific theoretical framework selected for qualitative studies significantly influences the content of the proposal.5
T-W-3Organization of the Thesis: (1) front page, (2) student’s declaration on originality of the thesis; (3) dedication page (optional); (4) acknowledgement (optional); (5) vita (optional); (6) abstract; (7) table of contents; (8) list of tables (optional); (9) list of figures (optional); (10) list of symbols / abbreviations / notations / terminology (optional); (11) list of appendices; (12) introduction (relevance of the topic and the necessity for solution; practical and theoretical value of the topic; motives for choosing a particular topic; work aims and tasks; research object; research methods; an explanation of the work structure (brief overview of all parts, page, table and figure count); key literature used; work limitations and difficulties; plan of work and methodology; (13) assumptions and initial data; (14) theoretical section(s) (basic premises for the theoretical section; material sorting and the structure of the theoretical section; the requirements of the content for the theoretical section; preparation of theoretical model; the use and citation of the sources; highlighting the most important parts); (15) empirical (analytical) section (research methods, hypothesis, and data); (16) analysis, design, implementation and interpretation of results; (17) critical assessment of own work; (18) references / bibliography; (19) further Work; (20) summary & conclusion; (21) appendices (optional).9
