Wednesday, October 17^th, 2012

In the last lesson we have discussed about the steps to write research reports, including introduction, background and problem statement.

In writing the research report, after making the problem statement the next thing to do is to write motivation of research. Motivation consists of the goals and benefits of research.

Research purpose can be determined through problem statement that has been made ​​before, see the following example :

Problem Statement	Purpose
1.      How far …….? 2.      Is …….? 3.      What percent …..?	1.      Knowing level of influence ....... 2.      Produce information ........ 3.      Resultant value ..........

The purpose of the research is to find an answer. But if there is a research that aims to solve a problem, the implementation of these studies should be accompanied by an experiment.

Benefits of the research is the contribution of the research results to the community, especially in the fields of education and science.

  Ø  Research biased
