Project Report Writing

Project
Projects enable to develop and enhance a wide range of
skills, including technical, interpersonal, communication, and
problem-solving skills.
It provides an opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a
specific field or industry. This practical experience can help
you to apply and reinforce what you've learned in your
studies.

 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

 Describewhat your research is trying to achieve and explain why

you are pursuing it
 These objectives aim to provide recommendations or solutions to a
particular problem or issue.
 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The scope of the study refers to the boundaries within which
your research project will be performed.
Define all aspects that will be considered in your research
project.
NEED FOR THE STUDY
ROL

 to find previous published scholarly works relevant to an specific topic Explains the
background of research on a topic. Demonstrates why a topic is significant to a subject
area. Discovers relationships between research studies/ideas. Identifies major themes,
concepts, and researchers on a topic.
 Procedure for reviewing the literature: a) Explore the existing literature in your area of
study; b) Review the literature selected; c) Develop a theoretical framework; d) Develop
a conceptual framework. a) Explore the available literature: To effectively search for
literature in the field of enquiry, it is imperative that there is at least some idea of broad
subject area and of the problem that is to be investigated in order to set parameters for
your search. It is followed by compilation of a bibliography for this broad area via books,
periodicals and journals.
ROL 2

 A PROCESS OF READING, ANALYSING, EVALUATING AND SUMMARISING VARIOUS STUDIES

ABOUT A SPECIFIC TOPIC
bib

 A bibliography is a list of all of the sources you have used (whether referenced or not) in
the process of researching your work.
 a bibliography should include: the authors' names, the titles of the works, the names and
locations of the companies that published the copies of sources. The bibliography should
give a clear, complete description of the sources that were used while preparing the
report. It is an alphabetical list as per the author‘s surname.
 Bibliography Format for a Periodical & Journal Article: An entry for a journal or
periodical article contains the following information: a) Author(s) b) Article Title c)
Journal Title d) Volume Number e) Pages f) Date of Publication
 OBJ

 Objectives should be listed under two headings: a) Main objectives (aims): The main objective is an
overall statement or the driving force of a study. It also states the main associations and relationships
that you search for and to discover or establish the relationships. b) Sub-objectives: The sub-
objectives are the specific aspects of the problem or the issue that is to be investigated within the
main framework of your study.  They should be numerically listed.  Wording should clearly,
completely and specifically communicate the purpose and intention to the researcher.  Each
objective should contain only one facet of the Study.  Use action oriented words or verbs when
writing objectives. The objectives should start with words such as: ‗to determine‘, ‗to find out‘, ‗to
ascertain‘, ‗to measure‘, ‗to explore‘ etc. The wording of objectives also helps understand and
identify the type of research (descriptive, co relational and experimental) and the type of research
design you need to adopt to achieve them
HYPOTHESIS

 A hypothesis is an educated guess, based on the probability of an outcome. Scientists

formulate hypotheses after they understand all the current research on their subject.
Hypotheses specify the relationship between at least two variables, and are testable
 The first variable is called the independent variable. This is the part of the experiment that
can be changed and tested. The independent variable happens first and can be considered
the cause of any changes in the outcome. The outcome is called the dependent variable.
