Basic structure as follows:
TITLE (a couple of words, a phrase or a short sentence)
ABSTRACT (- around 300 words - a very short 'story' from which answers to the questions above can be inferred )
REFERENCES (3 TO 8)
Self-test that the research scenario is viable, you should be able to answer the following questions
- Is the Title phrased as a question that research may inform the reader what you're doing?
- Research target(s)? (an App, computer program, a device, a service)
- Research subjects(s)? (self and close contacts only)
- Research scenario(s)? (attaining some kind of goal)
- Have you identified at least one specific research method for this study?
After reading the proposal and talking about it we should be able to answer the following questions.
- The focus of the investigation (a one sentence statement, often the title)
- Motivation, why it is of interest (might be something puzzling at work or a question you have)
- Possible data sources (speculation is ok)
- Suggest the kind/types of data that will be gathered (speculation is ok)
- Indicate your philosophical/theoretical stance, domain knowledge area, discipline (provide some references to theory)
