It may contain details about the topic that you intend to do, its importance or significance, the steps that you have already done, and the next actions that youare going to do in order to meet your targets or until you have answered your research questions.

Technically, this is not a research proposal yet but more likely
a concept paper.
Research Plan
This part of the research plan contains your basic information.
Basic Information
Short presentation of basic concepts and information about the research topic shall be presented in this section.

E. Complete Home Address
F. Background
Cite also your motivation for the topic and the reasons and importance of
your study.
Background
Cite in this section the long term and short term objectives or targets of your research work. Indicate also whether you are using quantitative, qualitative, or mixed method of research.
Objectives and Methods
Failure is normal. It is okay to fail at times in order for us to realize what we have to do.
Don’t let failure distract you
Failure is an opportunity to
recreate and refine our research work at its best. Do not be afraid to fail.
Don’t let failure distract you.
Through an illustrative illustrations or diagrams, show the variables or concepts that are involved in your paper. Show the connections and
relationship and role of these important constructs in achieving the results of the study.
Working Framework
This is commonly used framework in study
The Input-Process-Output Model
However, feel free to execute your creativity and ideas in crafting the framework for your paper.
Working Framework
This part contains the expected outcome of the study.
Assumptions
What results do you anticipate? It is better that you construct positive results regarding
the research that you plan to undertake.
Assumptions
This can be in numbered form, bulleted, or in a paragraph or two.
Assumptions
You may have heard about Gantt Chart of activities.
Timetable
This section contains the same concept but in simplified and detailed format in order for you to plan things out even more systematically and productively.
Timetable
It guides you to be able to work on important activities necessary
for you to complete your research.
Timetable
Present here the references that you used in the formulation of the research plan.

A recurring difficulty that is necessary to be taken out of the situation, or a practical question from a scholarly inquiry in different disciplines.
Research Problem
A statement of a concern in any area, a problem that
needs immediate solution,
Research Problem
This refers to the quality of being exact or particular.
Specific
Research problem statement should be able to communicate the specific inquiry or question that needs to be answered.
Specific
It refers to its epistemological
aspect or the state of being objectively observable. More than that, instruments of data-gathering should be present.
Measurable
After refining your research interest, you will be able to have a
Premilinary topic
The random words that you have written on your notepad are your
personal interest
These are the topics or subjects that first inspires your
interest.
Personal interest
These are the concepts and constructs that your mind has which will serve as the baseline of your formal research topic.

three
It pertains to personal interests that has been screened and chosen by means of its meaning,
coverage, relevance and focus.

will arise.

They created specified general guidelines in formulating the general problem and the specific sub-problems or specific
questions.
Calderon and Gonzales (2014)
Calderon and Gonzales (2014) specified general guidelines in
formulating the general problem and the specific sub-problems or specific questions.
- The general statement and specific sub-questions should be formulated before carrying out actions in the conduct of the research work.
- State the specific sub-problems in interrogative form.
- The specific question should bear only one clear meaning.
- Every question should not be dependent apart from other questions that is requiring answers afar from other questions.
- It must be based on facts and phenomena.
- The answers to each specific question should be contributory to the
development of the general problem statement.
The following are the four types of research questions in terms of their purpose according to
Clemente, Julaton, & Orleans (2016)
The major concern of these questions is to
categorize, label, or name factors and situations that exist or those that are
present in the perimeter of the research work.
