Introductory Research Project

Lecturer: Prof Hussein Musa Ali 1


Concept

Let’s synchronize understanding of the phrase, research


project, so that we may discuss the subject matter with
relatively similar concept. The word research, first of all
connotes a plan of work carried out by certain people
for specific outcome, Note a work plan is a crucial
feature that characterizes any type of work.

Lecturer: Prof Hussein Musa Ali 2


A research plan of work differs, for instance, from a
report plan of work in a report, the plan of work
comprises steps of gathering data and transferring
information of an event of a known occurrence: What
happened? How did it happen?

Lecturer: Prof Hussein Musa Ali 3


In research, on the other hand, is forming reliably
proven data and analysis from one’s made-work plan
(hypothesis) of events for an expected outcome than
can be replicated by the other researchers using
identical condition (Theory): What did you do and how
did you do it for a certain event to occur to achieve a
targeted effect or an outcome.

Lecturer: Prof Hussein Musa Ali 4


Research is a multi-stage process that the researcher
must pass through. It takes from the stage of choosing
a topic which undergoes a long process of:
• Planning
• Naming
• Gathering
• Reading

Lecturer: Prof Hussein Musa Ali 5


• Surveying
• Discussion
• Searching
• Analysis
• Interpreting
• Doing and redoing
• Writing the research report

The Research Project Process

Lecturer: Prof Hussein Musa Ali 7


The Research Proposal
It is an essential element of the research process. The
first step in the production of any project is to write a
proposal. It is important as it establishes the
foundation for the project itself and sets out the
architecture for your subsequent work: it is a basic
working document. Without a proposal, you are likely
to flounder and find virtually impossible to proceed
with the project, and thus your whole work will wind
up a botch.
Lecturer: Prof Hussein Musa Ali 8
It is analogous to the implementation in the pregnancy
because the whole project comes under the mercy of
the proposal. The proposal is subject to the approval of
the research project supervisor who may or may not
approve (114 aan aqaaan kaama aqrisanayo ….).

Lecturer: Prof Hussein Musa Ali 9


The Complete Dissertation

The research dissertation is the final report of the


project and it’s a cumulative reflection of the degree of
organization and performance of the preceding stages
of the project proposal. It is where the research
purport is accredited.

Lecturer: Prof Hussein Musa Ali 10


It is second critical stage in the project proposal in the
Report Dissertation or thesis is subject to be:
• Satisfied/Dissatisfied by the company
• Qualified/ Disqualified by the examiners and/or
• Accepted/ rejected by other researchers because of
the dissertations:
Poor recapitulation
Poor validity
Poor reliability or
Poor linguistic style
Lecturer: Prof Hussein Musa Ali 11
So you see, the CD is where the bulk of the project
evaluation and accreditation are done. Then, it is more
critical than the research proposal!
