Thesis Writing 1 At the end of the Course, the student must be able to: 1. Submit a research proposal 2.

Pass oral defense of his/her research proposal Writing the Research Proposal A research proposal is a PLAN. A proposal is the road map of a research. It illustrates the start point , end point and the reasons for the points in between. It must be well written so that it can convince ME that the study can be of help to the community and possible to do (do able) within a reasonable period of time, and in turn, I can recommend that it can be defended before a panel. Parts of a Research proposal The parts of a research proposal depends on what an Institution requires. In OUR University, the following is the checklist: Title Introduction Background of the Study Statement of the Problem/Research Objectives Theoretical Framework Hypothesis Significance of the Study Scope and Limitation RRL (Review of Related Literature) Methodology(Description of the Design, sampling, data collection, data processing and data analysis) References/Bibliography Schedule of Activities Appendix (Research Instruments, apparatus/equipments and reagents prepared and used)

Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study Write about the current situation (Global financial crisis) Present possible solution with your study as the answer(the possible discovery of an alternative medicine can offer less expenses to the people of the community?) Statement of the Problem The study will aim to determine _______ .(the antibacterial property of ___-) Specifically, it will aim to answer the following: Place here the things you mentioned in your paradigm. Hypotheses Give tentative answers to the problems Theoretical Framework Example: Collection of the leaves.(this is what is to be done) Leaves of the Kamatsile leaves are collected at Brgy Kisikis, Alcala Pangasinan. It is where Kamatsile trees are found in abundance.(the abundance of the plant is the reason why they are to be collected at Barangay Kisikis). Paradigm of the Study Flow chart cut short. See example State what are to be done then give a reason for each.
