I would like to answer these questions by using the attached paper
1) Define
your research topic
Describe your research
object (what object/system/process are
you going to
study?), the research
purpose or objectives
(why are you
going to study
this?) and the
problem statement (what
is the
problem/knowledge gap you will address in your research?).
2) Discuss how you will approach your research topic
Which perspective on
science do you
feel at home
with? What kind
of research approach
do you
wish to
adopt? Tell us
something about how
you will develop
your research proposal:
what are
crucial issues that
you aim to
address in the
research proposal, e.g.
conceptual framework, data
collection methods or other aspects.
3) Discuss how you will tackle the cross-disciplinary nature
How will
integration of the
different disciplinary perspectives
take place in
your research? Do you
intend to practise a form of cross-disciplinarity in your own thesis research?
If so, what type of cross-
disciplinarity (multi-disciplinarity, inter-disciplinarity or
trans-disciplinarity) and what does this choice
entail in terms
of your methods,
the use of
hybrid concepts, participatory
research techniques or
models?
