Crafting research proposal titles - Part 2

HOW and what can effectively facilitate our graduate students to learn formulating research proposal titles? First, they must have content. From every subject taken, they could gather enough stock of substantially learned theories and embedded concepts from which to draw their research proposal titles. These will be starters for them to be able to come out with the research proposals.

Proposal titles from subjects taken. Research proposal titles drawn from their subjects would more ensure that their future research proposal will be closely in line with their graduate studies major field. Let's have them experience formulating research titles and thesis statements that utilize theories and concepts as starting points in drawing up a research proposal and come out at the very least, with a seven-paged introduction of the proposed research. In the process, they review literature to give substance to their proposals. They may then move forward to craft their research statements, be specific with the variables, describe them, and if called for by the research design, they state variable-relationships and present their schematic diagram. Though this is easier said than done, students could give this a try while they are many subjects away from the final two subjects - Research and Statistics. They can better concentrate to learn in depth about research from faculty research experts; be better prepared for the required learning outcomes of the Research subject.
