Purposive Communication (Parts of Research Proposal)

This document provides guidelines for writing a research proposal. It outlines the basic components of a proposal, which include a title, abstract, introduction, literature review, objectives, research questions or hypotheses, and methodology. The objectives section should clearly state the specific steps that will be taken to achieve the overall aim of the research in a measurable way. It is important that the objectives are feasible, realistic, and can be used to evaluate whether the goals of the study were achieved. The methodology section then explains the procedures that will be used to accomplish the objectives, such as the research design, sampling, and analytical techniques. Overall, the research proposal provides a plan for conducting a study to investigate a topic and address gaps in existing literature.
