instructions for writing an introducton:
I. Introduction
In the real world of higher education, a research proposal is most often written by scholars seeking grant funding for a research project or it's the first step in getting approval to write a doctoral dissertation. Even if this is just a course assignment, treat your introduction as the initial pitch of an idea or a thorough examination of the significance of a research problem. After reading the introduction, your readers should not only have an understanding of what you want to do, but they should also be able to gain a sense of your passion for the topic and to be excited about the study's possible outcomes. Note that most proposals do not include an abstract [summary] before the introduction.
Think about your introduction as a narrative written in two to four paragraphs that succinctly answers the following four questions:
What is the central research problem?
What is the topic of study related to that research problem?
What methods should be used to analyze the research problem?
Why is this important research, what is its significance, and why should someone reading the proposal care about the outcomes of the proposed study?
5. NOTE: The template for a research proposal is posted under Saturday, April 11, 2020, and is in this section.
