Hygge選取了Aalto University官方對於Research Proposal的板塊內容和結構進行講解。

景觀

Research Proposal

Research plan is a key document。

·It is usually appr。 5-8 pages （line spacing 1，5， 12 pt）

·Research plan also includes：

1。Your schedule for the completion of the required studies （40 ECTS）

2。Your schedule for dissertation work

3。Your plan for funding

4。In case you plan to include an artistic component or product development project： work plan and schedule

·Write your research plan completely by yourself。

·Research plans are treated as confidential in the evaluation process。

·Here are some general instructions for writing a research plan。 They are not compulsory – the research plan is free of form。 You can find other instructions on the internet， see e。g。 Academy of Finland research plan instructions。

1）When applying for the doctoral programme

申請博士課程時

2）Guidelines for writing a dissertation research plan

The title should capture the essential of the research in just a few words。

Doctoral thesis titles often include an explanatory subtitle in addition to the main part。 For example Louna Hakkarainen’s dissertation： Caring for technology。 Evolving living lab collaboration

Abstract should crystallize your research research question and how you plan to approach it。 It’s length can be only a couple of sentences， but it usually is half a page and shouldn’t be more than one page。 Imagine that your are writing for someone who doesn’t know anything about your topic。 Try to entice your reader。 Abstract is a public document， other parts of the research plan are treated as confidential。

Also remember to mention your name and contact information at the start of the research plan。

撰寫論文研究計劃的指南

1. Title and abstract

Introduce the topic of your research， its general objectives， and the main research question。 Specify what is your aim and what is your hypothesis。 It is helpful to present subquestions related to your research topic。

標題和摘要

2. Research topic and objectives

研究課題與目的

Explain the research already done in your research topic。 Refer to earlier research or artistic productions and literature and present their focus shortly。 Also share your own earlier activities in the area （e。g。 Master‘s thesis in the topic）。

With a literature review you may show your knowledge of the topic。 Through it you can present your theorethical background or your viewpoint to the topic。 Also point out what has not been researched yet and why it should be researched。

3. Therethical bankground and other research

理論背景和其他研究

The methods you plan to use specify how you will answer your question。 Explain how you plan to collect your material （interviews， literature， archives， creating your art etc。） and how you plan to analyse it （data analysis）。 Outline your material carefully – you cannot include everything。

Present a plan for storing the data and who has the rights to use it。 Also view the ethical questions related to acquiring and using your data。

If you want to include your own art productions or design projects to your dissertation present a plan for artistic components。 Explain when and here you plan to have your exhibition etc。， how many will there be and what is their role in your research。

2. Methods and data

Present a schedule for the doctoral studies which includes the required studies （40 ECTS）， time needed for the dissertation and the possibly included artistic components or product development projects。

Full time studies take appr。 4 years and part time studies 4-8 years， plan your schedule accordingly。 Be realistic。

Suitable timeframe is to present the plan by academic terms （autumn and spring）。

It is not necessary to list all the studies in course level， often credits are enough。 E。g。 autumn 2021， studies in the research field， 10 ECTS。 You may also explain why you need studies e。g。 in some specific methodology in order to complete your dissertation。

Mention if you plan to include studies from other Universities to your degree or if you plan to undergo a research period away from Finland。 If you don’t plan to live in the Helsinki region for the whole duration of your studies， explain what kind of periods you plan to present at Aalto University and how you plan to complete the required courses。

Funding： The way you plan to fund your studies affects their length。 Present a detailed plan for funding。 Especially in the case of productions and exhibitions （artistic components of the Doctor of Art degree）， present your budget。

方法和資料

3. Schedule and funding of the doctoral studies and dissertation

Describe your expected results and their societal， artistic or other significance。 You may also present possible practical applications of research results。 Do you have a plan for publication and other dissemination of research or artistic results？

博士研究論文的時間表和經費

4. Results

List of the most important research literature。 Only sources used in the plan should be listed。

結果

5. References

It’s important to keep your research plan up to date after the start of your studies as you might need it for applying for grants etc。 Each funding agencies can have its own intructions for the form and lenght of the research plan， check them out before applying for funding。

During your studies you may ask comments for your research plan from your advisor。
