RATIONALE
The rationale of your research is the purpose of conducting the study. The purpose for carrying
out research should be addressed in the rationale. It's an important part of your paper because it justifies
the study's relevance and novelty. As a result, it's often referred to as the study's justification.
To begin writing your rationale, give a background on the research that has been done on your
research topic. Then, ask yourself, "what's missing?" or "what are the study's unanswered questions?"
Identify the gaps in the literature and explain why they must be addressed. This will be the foundation for
your investigation.
THEORETICAL/CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
The theoretical and conceptual framework clarifies a study's direction and anchors it in theoretical
constructs. The two frameworks' overall goal is to make research findings more meaningful, acceptable
to research academic field constructs, and generalizable. They help stimulate study while also ensuring
knowledge expansion by giving the research inquiry both direction and energy. They also improve a
study's rigor and empiricism. Thus, a research's theoretical and conceptual frameworks both provide it
with life.
RESEARCH PARADIGM
A research paradigm is a model or method to study that has been confirmed and performed for a
long time and is considered the standard by many researchers in the subject. The research paradigm in
life sciences, for example, is a quantitative technique, whereas the paradigm in social sciences is
qualitative. As a result, you must choose an acceptable paradigm based on the goal and requirement of
your research. You could, of course, conduct a mixed-methods study.
RESEARCH QUESTIONS
In research, a statement of the problem is used as a claim that outlines the problem addressed by
a study. The problem statement answers the question briefly: What is the problem that the research will
address? A statement of the problem's ultimate goal is to transform a generalized problem (something
that bothers you; a perceived lack) into a targeted, well-defined problem that can be resolved through
focused research and careful decision-making.
Writing a problem statement should assist you in clearly identifying the purpose of the research
project you will propose. The problem statement will often serve as the foundation for the introductory

section of your final proposal, directing your reader's attention quickly to the issues that your proposed
project will address and providing the reader with a concise statement of the proposed project itself.
METHODOLOGY
The practical "how" of any given piece of research is referred to as research methodology. More
specifically, it is concerned with how a researcher systematically designs a study to ensure valid and
reliable results that address the research aims and objectives.
For example, how did the researcher arrive at the following conclusions:
 What data to collect (and what data to ignore)
 Who to collect it from (in research, this is called “sampling design”)
 How to collect it (this is called “data collection methods”)
 How to analyze it (this is called “data analysis methods”)
