    RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

    OBJECTIVES OF YOUR RESEARCH PROPOSAL


    Formulating objectives for your research proposal helps sculpt and guide your work
    after you've decided on a topic. While your aims give your research thematic and
    theoretic direction, objectives give concrete steps on how to manifest those concepts
    and theories. A strong topic begins with an area you're interested in researching,
    then focuses on a need, problem or unexplored issue in that area, usually from a
    particular perspective or approach.

    Aims Objetives should:


     Be concise and brief.

     Be interrelated; the aim is what you want to achieve, and the objective
    describes how you are going to achieve that aim.

     Be realistic about what you can accomplish in the duration of the project and
    the other commitments you have

    Aims and Objectives should not:

     Be too vague, ambitious or broad in scope.


     Just repeat each other in different terms.
     Just be a list of things related to your research topic.

    1. Aim or General Objective

    An aim is a general statement, which reflects the intention or purpose of your chosen
    area of research. The aim of the work, i.e. the overall purpose of the study, should
    be clearly and concisely defined.

    2. Specific Objectives
    The specific objectives are the steps you are going to take to answer your research
    questions or a specific list of tasks needed to accomplish the goals of the project.

     Goal or a step on the way to meeting the aim; how you will achieve it.

     Objectives use specific statements which define measurable outcomes.

    Objectives should be S.M.A.R.T.

     Specific – be precise about what you are going to do

     Measureable –you will know when you have reached your goal

     Achievable – Don’t attempt too much. A less ambitious but completed


    objective is better than an over-ambitious one that you cannot possible
    achieve.

     Realistic – do you have the necessary resources to achieve the objective?


    For example: time, money, skills, etc.?

     Time constrained – determine when each stage needs to be completed. Is


    there time in your schedule to allow for unexpected delays?
