THESIS RESEARCH AND WRITING/ METHODOLOGY OF RESEARCH
Lecture on Importance of Study
I. Opening Comments
This endurance race is almost over. It is like a marathon, and the runner is getting near exhaustion. Still, there are just a few more steps to take and the paper will be complete. Keep moving!!!
II. Importance of the Study
a. In this section, convince the reader/listener to stay with the topic. In order to do this, foreshadow the hypotheses to be tested or the questions to be raised, as well as the significance of the study. These will require specific elaboration in subsequent sections.
i. View the following website, focusing on the section entitled “Significance” –
ii. http://www.emory.edu/EDUCATION/mfp/proposal.html (accessed 10/28/04)
b. Share the writer’s feeling of motivation in writing through the section on importance of study
i. Especially indicate any original contribution that can be made to existing knowledge about the subject; http://www.sopmp.sun.ac.za/knowgenr/research_md/index.asp (accessed 11/11/04)
ii. Justify relevance of study to the discipline in which you have studied as well as to personal development http://64.233.179.104/search?q=cache:ObxqCTgLqjMJ:www.material-culture.org/pdf/uf_thesis_mfa.pdf+%22importance+of+study%22%2Bthesis&hl=en(accessed 06/26/06)
c. Discuss and critique research and theoretical works, which support importance of the study and / or suggest research methods. This will show the relevance of the literature review include in previous sections (from http://64.233.179.104/search?q=cache:0s6S21h7JRAJ:www.hhs.csus.edu/CJ/Word_Docs/Graduate_Handbook_2003ed-Sept03-B-Guidelines_for_Organizing_Thesis.doc+%22importance+of+study%22%2Bthesis&hl=en, accessed 11/11/04)
d. Example: Importance of the Study Educators teaching professional photography in universities and colleges need to instruct their students with skills that are directly transferable to the workplace. Digital imaging has changed the way that the photography industry operates. Educators in this specialized area can benefit from sharing knowledge and ideas involving the issues concerning new photographic technologies. This study was designed to establish a guide for current and prospective educators in the area of teaching professional photography. The instructors that took part in this study identified areas that are fundamental aspects of photography education today. This will be a useful tool in effectively and efficiently implementing technological changes into a professional photographic education program. http://jan.ucc.nau.edu/~jdj3/thesis_digital_photography.htm (accessed 11/11/04)
III. Examples from other Th.B. Thesis:
a. The stipulation made by Mr. Brandon makes this a practical historical study for future generations that choose to become a part of the Brandon Chapel church family. In essence, they will need to know and understand their role as well as the other members in the church in maintaining its requirements.
The history of any church helps to communicate its legacy to her members and define its future as an organization dedicated to teaching and sharing the Gospel message of Jesus Christ. The task of this thesis is to do just that, lay the groundwork whereby the content of this historical research will communicate the heritage of Brandon Chapel Missionary Baptist Church. It is also through this endeavor that future generations will understand the historical purpose of carrying out the mission of maintaining the church and fulfilling the evangelistic objectives of our Lord and one Mr. A. J. Brandon. (from Avent, Samuel Keith, unpublished thesis: “Black Church Planting in the Rural South During the Post Reconstruction Period: A Case History Of The History of the Brandon Chapel Missionary Baptist Church,” April 2003)
b. As a pastor, the writer is deeply interested in engaging the most effective biblically-centered methodologies available that will assist in all areas of church growth. Having experienced success by utilizing the basic tenets of the Point Guard Leadership model, the writer desires to share those tenets with others who seek better efficiency, effectiveness, and utilization in the respective churches. It is important that each church maximizes its potential, the Point Guard Leadership model is an instrument that helps to reach that goal. (from Windrow, Vincent: “Working Together Works” Unpublished thesis from American Baptist College, May 2005)
c. NOTE: In each case, the “Importance” statement section maybe from one to many paragraphs long. Write as much as it takes to make the point needed!
IV. Assignment: Write a meaty statement on the Importance of the Study.
a. Make sure it is at least a one paragraph
b. More if you are able
c. E-mail it to Dr. Martin as well as posting a copy on the class site
d. Leave comments on the class website!
