開題報告撰寫的方法

1、開題報告撰寫的方法開題報告的撰寫主要包括以下幾個方面：1 .開題報告名稱開題報告名稱就是開題報告名字。這看起來似乎是個小問 題，但實際上很多人寫專題名稱時，往往寫得不準(zhǔn)確、不恰當(dāng)， 從而影響整個開題報告的形象與質(zhì)量。 那么，如何給開題報告起 名稱呢？(1)、名稱要準(zhǔn)確、規(guī)范。準(zhǔn)確就是開題報告的名稱要把開題報告研究的問題是什 么，研究的對象是什么交待清楚。 開題報告的名稱一定要和研究 的內(nèi)容相一致，不能太大，也不能太小，要準(zhǔn)確的把研究的對象、 問題概括出來。規(guī)范就是所用的詞語、句型要規(guī)范、科學(xué)，似是而非的詞 不能用，口號式、結(jié)論式的句型不要用。因為我們是在進(jìn)行科學(xué) 研究，要用科學(xué)的、規(guī)范的語言去

2、表述我們的思想和觀點。這里有一個專題名稱叫 培養(yǎng)自主學(xué)習(xí)能力，提高課堂學(xué)習(xí) 效率”如果這個題目是一篇經(jīng)驗性論文，或者是一個研究報告， 還不錯，但作為專題的名稱，則不是很好的。因為專題就是我們 要解決的問題，這個問題正在探討，正開始研究，不能有結(jié)論性 的語氣。若改為 自主學(xué)習(xí)能力的培養(yǎng)對提高課堂學(xué)習(xí)效率的影 響”則較為妥當(dāng)。(2 )、名稱要簡潔，不能太長。不管是論文或者開題報告，名稱都不能太長，能不要的字 就盡量不要，最長一般不要超過 20 字。2 研究的目的、 意義研究的目的、 意義也就是為什么要研 究、研究它有什么價值，研究背景是什么。這一般可以先從現(xiàn)實需要方面去論述，指出現(xiàn)實中存在這 個問

3、題，需要去研究，去解決，本開題報告的研究有什么實際作 用。然后，再寫開題報告的理論和學(xué)術(shù)價值。這些都要寫得具體 一點，有針對性一點，不能漫無邊際地空喊口號。3研究的指導(dǎo)思想開題報告研究的指導(dǎo)思想就是在宏觀上 應(yīng)堅持什么方向，符合什么要求等。這個方向或要求可能是哲學(xué)、數(shù)學(xué)、自然科學(xué)、政治理論， 也可以是科學(xué)發(fā)展規(guī)劃，也可以是有關(guān)研究問題的指導(dǎo)性意見 等。4研究的目標(biāo)和假設(shè)開題報告研究的目標(biāo)和假設(shè)也就是課題最后要達(dá)到的具體 目的，要解決哪些具體問題。相對于目的和指導(dǎo)思想而言，研究目標(biāo)和假設(shè)是比較具體 的，不能籠統(tǒng)地講，必須清楚地寫出來。只有目標(biāo)明確、假設(shè)具 體，才能明確工作的具體方向是什么， 才能

4、了解研究的重點是什 么，思路就不會被各種因素所干擾。確定專題研究目標(biāo)和假設(shè)時，一方面要考慮專題本身的要 求，另一方面還要考慮開題報告組實際的工作條件與工作水平。5研究的基本內(nèi)容我們有了開題報告的研究目標(biāo)和假設(shè)， 就要根據(jù)目標(biāo)和假設(shè)來確 定我們這個開題報告具體要研究的內(nèi)容。相對研究目標(biāo)和假設(shè)來說，研究內(nèi)容要更具體、更明確，并且一 個目標(biāo)和假設(shè)可能要通過幾方面的研究內(nèi)容來實現(xiàn)， 我們不一定 是一一對應(yīng)的關(guān)系。大家在確定研究內(nèi)容的時候， 往往考慮的不是很具體， 寫出來的 研究內(nèi)容特別籠統(tǒng)、模糊，把研究的目的、意義當(dāng)作研究內(nèi)容， 這對我們整個專題研究十分不利。6研究的步驟和進(jìn)度開題報告研究的步驟和進(jìn)度

5、， 也就是開題報告研究在時間和順序 上的安排。研究的步驟和進(jìn)度要充分考慮研究內(nèi)容的相互聯(lián)系和難易程度。 一般情況下，都是從基礎(chǔ)問題開始，分階段進(jìn)行，每個階段從什 么時間開始，至什么時間結(jié)束都要有規(guī)定。7研究方法和資料獲取途徑開題報告研究的方法很多，包括歷史研究法、調(diào)查研究法、實驗研究法、比較研究法、理論研究法等，但在研究性學(xué)習(xí)中的開題 報告研究方法用得最多的是社會調(diào)查法和受控對比實驗法。 一個 大的專題往往需要多種方法，小的專題可以主要采用一種方法， 同時兼用其他方法。在應(yīng)用各種方法時， 一定要嚴(yán)格按照方法的要求， 不能只憑經(jīng)驗、 常識去做。比如，要通過調(diào)查了解情況，如何制定調(diào)查表，如何 進(jìn)行

6、分析，都不是隨隨便便發(fā)張表，列一些百分?jǐn)?shù)、平均數(shù)就行 了。開題報告研究資料的獲取途徑也很多， 包括文獻(xiàn)調(diào)查、 考察調(diào)查、 問卷調(diào)查、設(shè)計并進(jìn)行實驗、科學(xué)觀測等。主要采用哪些資料獲 取途徑，一定要經(jīng)過充分的研究。8研究的成果形式開題報告研究的成果形式包括報告、論文、發(fā)明、軟件、課件等多種形式。專題不同，研究成果的內(nèi)容、形式也不一樣。但不管形式是什么，專題研究必須有成果，否則，就是這個專題沒有完 成。9研究的組織機(jī)構(gòu)和人員分工 在集體開題報告研究方案中，要寫出專題組組長、副組長，專題 組成員以及分工。專題組組長就是本專題的負(fù)責(zé)人。專題組的分工必須要分得明確合理， 爭取讓每個人了解自己的工 作和責(zé)任

7、，不能吃大鍋飯，但是在分工的基礎(chǔ)上，也要注意全體 人員的合作，大家共同研究，共同商討，克服研究過程中的各種 困難和問題。How to write a research proposalWhen you are applying for a research degree, like the PhD, you will very probably have to write a research proposal a part of your application file. A PhD is awarded mainly as the result of your making a genu

8、ine contribution to the state of knowledge in a field of your choice. Even though this is not the Nobel Prize yet, getting the degree means you have added something to what has previously been known on the subject you have researched. But first you have to prove you are capable of making such a cont

9、ribution, and therefore write a research proposal that meets certain standards. The goal of a research proposal (RP) is to present and justify a research idea you have and to present the practical ways in which you think this research should be conducted.When you are writing a RP, keep in mind that

10、it will enter a competition, being read in line with quite a few other RPs. You have to come up with a document that has an impact upon the reader: write clearly and well structured so that your message gets across easily. Basically, your RP has to answer three big questions: what research project w

11、ill you undertake, why is important to know that thing and how will you proceed to make that research.In order to draw the researchers attention upon your paper, write an introduction with impact, and that leads to the formulation of your hypothesis. The research hypothesis has to be specific, conci

12、se (one phrase) and to lead to the advancement of the knowledge in the field insome way.Writing the hypothesis in a concise manner and, first, coming up with a good hypothesis is a difficult mission. This is actually the core of your application: youre going to a university to do this very piece of

13、re search. Compared to this, the rest of the application is background scenery. Take your time to think of it. When you have an idea, be careful at the formulation. Awell-written hypothesis is something of an essays thesis: it provides a statement that can be tested (argues ahead one of the possible

14、 answers to a problem), it is an idea, a concept, and not a mere fact, and is summed up in one phrase. In some cases, you will have no idea what the possible answer to a problem worth being researched is, but you will be able to think of a way to solve that problem, and find out the answer in the me

15、antime. Its ok in this case, to formulate a research question, rather than a hypothesis. Let those cases be rare, in any way.Another piece of advice when writing your hypothesis, regarding the trendy research fields: chances are great that theyre trendy because somebody has already made that excitin

16、g discovery, or wrote that splendid paper thatawoke everybodys interest in the first place. If youre in one of these fields, try to get a fresh point of view upon the subject; make new connections, dont be 100% mainstream. This will make the project even more stimulating for the reader. Imagine that

17、 you are writing about the trendiest subject, with absolutely no change in the point of view, and you are given the chance to make the research. Trends come and go, fast; what are the chances that, in four years time, when your research is done and you are ready to publish your results, one of those

18、 well-known professors who dispose of huge research grants has already said whatever you had to say?Remember how, in a structured essay, right after the thesis you would present the organisation of your essay, by enumerating the main arguments you were going to present? Same thing should happen in a

19、 RP. After stati ng your thesis, you should give a short account of your answers to those three questions mention earlier. State, in a few phrases, what will be learned from your research, that your project will make a difference, and why is that important to be known. You will have to elaborate on

20、both of these later in the paper.The next step in writing your proposal is to prove that that particular piece of research has not been done yet.This section is usually called Literature Review. Inside it, you have to enumerate and critically analyze an impressive list of boring bibliography. The co

21、nclusion you should - objectively! - reach is that your idea of research has not been undertaken yet. Even more, you use this opportunity to prove solid theoreticalknowledge in the field, and build the theoretical bases of your project . One tip: dont review all the articles and books in the fields

22、even if you mention them in the bibliography list; pay attention in your analysis to those you will build on.Another one: avoid jargon when writing your RP. The chances are great that the person(s) who will read your and another 1000 research proposals are not specialists in that very field - niche

23、you are examining. If you are applying for a grant with or foundation or something similar, it might happen that those reading your paper are not even professors, but recruiters, donors, etc. And even if they actually are professors, one of the reasons busy people like them agree to undertake a huge

24、, and sometimes voluntary, work, is the desire to meetsome diversity, some change from their work - so maybe theyll read applications for another specialisation. The capacity to get your message across in clear, easy-to-grasp concepts and phrases is one of the winningpapers most important advantages

25、.So far, you have proven you have a research idea, that you are familiar with the field, and that your idea is new. Now, why should your project be worth researching? Because it advances knowledge, ok. But is this knowledge that anybody will need? Maybe nobody knows for sure how the shoelaces were b

27、f facts that will allow a more appropriate course of action are possible reasons. Be clear and specific. Dont promise to save the world, it might be toomuch to start with.

28、earch proposal: the methodology. In short, what actions are you going to take in order to answer the question? When will you know whether the hypothesis has been proven wrong, or has survived enough tests to be considered, for now, valid? Those tests and the way you are supposed to handle them to gi

29、ve rigor to your research is what is understood under methods. Methods divide in qualitative (interviews, questionnaires) and quantitative (statistics, stuff that deals intensively with numbers). For some projects qualitative methods are more appropriate, for some quantitative, whilefor most a mixtu

30、re of the two is adequate. You should pick your methodsand justify your choice. Research methodology, however, is too a complicated thing to be explained here.And this is why its so tough: not much attention is given to teaching it in Eastern Europe. Try, before writng yourRP, to read a bit more abo

Dont forget: reading theoretical pieces of your work and providing a critical analysis of those is also a kind of research. Its fin e to provide a rough schedule of your research; some g
