Activity 1:
Provide 6 characteristics of (or ‘rules’ for) a good title for a research article or a research
report. [6 marks]
1. The title should disclose the main topic of the proposed study - include information
such as “what, with, whom, where” in the title. (Fouché et al., 2021)
2. Some sources state to formulate the title within 15 words or less (Fouché et al., 2021)
and other sources place the word limit of the title to between 5 and 10 words (Terre
Blanche et al., 2014)
3. However, the title should not be vague cryptic and fail to convey the main focus of the
article (Terre Blanche et al., 2014)
4. Redundant words or phrases such as “a study of”, “an investigation into”, or “a
research report on” and other similar phrases should not be included (Fouché et al.,
2021) (Terre Blanche et al., 2014)
5. If possible, ensure the title is captivating or includes an interesting phrase or saying to
draw readers into the report. (Fouché et al., 2021) (Terre Blanche et al., 2014)
6. The title should include the correct nomenclature associated with the field and the
appropriate academic writing rules should be followed at all times (eg. abbreviations
should be omitted). (Fouché et al., 2021)
Activity 2:
The following title does not comply with the rules for a good title: ‘Morals down the drain? A
research study Investigating the relationship between different variables of moral
development in South African adolescent boys and girls between 12 and 18 years of age’.
Correct this title by providing a better title which complies with the rules for a good title.

Activity 4:
Complete the following sentences: [10 marks]
An abstract (definition) is a summary of the study comprising important information
such as the focal point of the study, the research hypothesis, a summary of the
methodology used, the results of the study as well as the relevance of the research
findings. The abstract should successfully convey the main points of the study to the
reader without reading the entire article itself. (Fouché et al., 2021) (4)
An abstract should answer three main questions, namely:
(a)What – main results and conclusions of study
(b)Why – the goal of the study
(c)How – research methods used in the study (Fouché et al., 2021)
The abstract for Project 4805 should be no longer than 300 words. The abstract is usually
written at the end of the report writing process, but it is placed at the beginning of the report.
