Question 1 of 1
1. Question
Prepare the assignment in 3 steps
- Go back to the research objective and the theoretical framework (the “research perspective that you formulated in sessions 2 and 3 and revise these in light of the discussions that we have had on these.
- It is important to check whether the research problem that you wish to address is formulated sufficiently clearly.
- It is also important to check that you have been able to formulate a knowledge goal as part of your research objective. PhD research is aimed to deliver original research findings, not only an answer to a practical problem.
- Make sure that you distinguish the knowledge goal from any societal or political goal that you may have. The knowledge you obtain with the PhD may assist in achieving such a societal or political goal, but that is outside of the PhD project proper.
- Make sure that you have identified some concrete theoretical ideas that you can use in your research project.
- Answer the three questions regarding the research methods that you wish to apply in your research project (this is essentially assignment 3 of session 5):
- Why do you consider the research methods appropriate for achieving your research objectives?
- How do these research methods align with the research perspective (theoretical framework) that you have chosen for your research project?
- How do these research methods enable you to answer the research questions that you have formulated?
- On the basis of your thoughts on the research objectives (point 1) and methods (point 2), revise and complete the research proposal, which should now have the following elements:
- Research context (this should contain the so-called ‘problem statement’).
- Research objective.
- Research framework: research object, research perspective and overview of the sources needed to determine the research perspective.
- Research questions and sub-questions.
- Research methods.
