Dear All I just want to increase my information regarding the "background of the study" in the research thesis What you think how we write a strong "background of the study" in the thesis.
Regards
Dear Sayed,
As I see it, in the background of the study in the thesis you should make a reference to the theoretical framework that underlies your study. As I see it, the theoretical framework that underlies your thesis is one of the most important parts of a thesis or dissertation. In a scientific paper, the theoretical background appears in the introduction section.
I hope that this is of some help to your.
Best regards,
Orlando
Sayed Irshad Hussain. as part of background in your study, you need to give a general concept of the issue then narrowed it to the specific by indicating the need to focus on the specific issue. Clear a ground by identifying where you need to aim and why. These could be achieved only by providing supports from other scholars and if possibly, theory yo underpin the study.
The ‘background’ must analyse a situation stating the problem or need statement. You should indicate your hypothesis and the assumptions with all the background logic. The rational and justification for taking up the study must be given. This generally includes the project rationale, research hypothesis or research question, and a brief review of literature (if no separate review is given).
Selectively review the literature related to your research subject. A thorough literature search is essential to understand what studies have already been done on the subject and to identify any glaring gaps in the literature.
Present the rationale of your proposed study in simple language, and show its practical utility It is important to explain how the implications of your research are not limited to the narrow confines of the research field or laboratory.
The background to the study is the first part of the research and so, gives the reader a first impression. The background should explain the meaning of the concepts/variables; paying particular attention to the dependent variable; state its importance; then linking or relating it to the independent variables with appropriate references; but proceeding from general to specifics, It is what gives the reader the impression that the researcher has a good understanding of the research topic; and of course, the subject matter.
