Question 1
1.1 Definition of a Research Proposal in Social Science Research
A research proposal in social science research is a comprehensive document that outlines a
planned study's objectives, methodology, theoretical framework, and expected outcomes. It
serves as a detailed plan, explaining what the researcher intends to investigate, why the research
is important, and how the research will be conducted. The proposal includes elements such as the
research questions or hypotheses, a literature review, a detailed description of the research design
and methods, and a discussion of the potential implications of the research. It is written to inform
and persuade reviewers, funding bodies, and ethical committees of the significance and
feasibility of the study.
1.2 Purpose of a Research Proposal
The primary purposes of a research proposal are as follows:
1. Justification and Significance:
o Rationale: The proposal provides a clear rationale for the research, explaining
why the study is necessary and important. It identifies a gap in the existing
literature and demonstrates how the research will contribute to the field.
o Significance: It highlights the potential impact of the research, showing how the
findings could influence theory, practice, policy, or further research.
2. Planning and Structure:
o Detailed Plan: The proposal outlines a detailed plan for conducting the research,
including the research design, methodology, data collection, and analysis
procedures. This ensures that the researcher has a clear roadmap to follow.
