REFLECTION – CHAPTER 16 – RESEARCH FOR PLANNING

Plans, of any kind, help people keep anticipate the things they need to do in the future. For

example, a business needs to devise a business plan so that they may be able to foresee their business

goals, and the methods that need to be done in accomplishing each of their  smart goals. Most people

believe in the ability of small business plans to avoid disaster and chaos especially when hosting

events. Researchers are among those people. When doing a research, most researchers plan for the

whole course of their research in order to avoid circumstances which may negatively affect their

research.

Research plan, as the name says, is a plan intended to anticipate a potential research project or

study, and the potential course of action for the said research. Research plans usually include the

details of the proposed research including a detailed description of the research, the necessary

materials and methods to include in the research, desired outcomes or results, proposed funding for

the research, and other important details of the various processes the researchers plan on

accomplishing for the research project plan or study.

Research plans, basically, describe or propose a potential research. Like other plans,

a strategic plan keeps the researchers organized while doing the research. The researchers will also be

able to craft a timeline for the duration of their research and allocate their time properly. Another

thing to consider is that research plans constantly remind the researchers of their goals and what they

need to do in order to reach those goals. With research plans, researchers will be able to foresee the

things that might go wrong and plan for the  necessary steps in managing such things. So basically, if

you want your research to go smoothly without sacrificing much time and resources, you need to have

a research plan.
