How you work with your hypothesis. How your hypothesis come for reseach

1. Problem identification to a
question to working hypothesis 2

2. 2.2 Risks in a Working Hypothesis
• Do not reach on a final answer very early.
• Keep on watching flaws in final answer
“A working hypothesis is a risk only if it STOPS
you moving to a better one or if you can't give it
up when the evidence says you should”

3. 2.3 If You Can't Find an Answer, Argue
for Your Question
• It is not correct that a project fails if one can't answer.
• Such reports focus on the importance of question and
quality of answer.
Or
• sometimes someone has answered this question, but
incompletely or incorrectly. So help readers by
showing a new dimension in answer.
In fact, experienced researchers know, most issues have
few, final answers, because there are no final questions.
YOUR ANSWER MUST LEAD TO A NEW QUESTION

4. 3 Build a Storyboard to Plan and Guide Your
Work For a Research report/ paper
For a long project like thesis or dissertation need more than an outline.
Plan long reports on a storyboard.
A storyboard is like an outline spread over several pages, with lots of space
for adding data and ideas as you go.
• it can help you plan your search for evidence, organize your argument,
write a first draft, and test a final one.
You can spread its pages with major group pages on top, followed by minor
sections below to create a “picture” of your project that shows you at a
glance the design of the whole and your progress through it.

5. 3.1 State Your Question and Working Hypotheses
To start a storyboard,
• At the top of first page write your question and working hypothesis as
exactly as possible.
• Then add Reasonable alternatives to help you see more clearly its limits and
strengths.
• Add new hypotheses as they come to mind and cross off those prove wrong.
• But save them for use in other portions
3.2 State Your Reasons
• Put at the top of separate pages each reason that might support your best
hypothesis
• Explain your project to imaginary audience
• It may generate argument and cross –argument
• Keep on doing so, till you have enough supportive arguments
• Ask Why do I think that? What evidence will I need to prove it? That will help
you focus your search for evidence.
• A list of reasons, no matter how speculative, is the best framework to guide
research and focused thinking.

6. 3.3 Outline the Kind of Evidence is required
• For each reason, make outline the kind of evidence that required to support.
• Imagine what may be the most convincing evidence.
• If you can't imagine leave the page blank, and read secondary sources to find
out the kind of evidence that researchers in your field favor .
3.4 Look at the Whole
Lay the pages on a table or tape them on a wall, and look at their order.
When you plan a first draft, must put its parts in some order.
Is this order logical? cause and effect? narrative time? relative importance?
complexity? length? Try out different orders.
This storyboard isn't final plan; it's a tool to guide thinking and to organize.
When a page is filled, try drafting that section, because writing ideas can
improve thinking at every stage of project.
A storyboard is a simple and reliable tool that help create a writing plan.

7. 4 Organize a Writing Support Group
Make a group of 3-4 students and supervisor, who can regularly discuss the
research project and its various aspects including write up.
1. In beginning, Discuss short summary of project viz., Topic, objective,
methodology, and expected out come.
2. In mid stage, Discuss working hypothesis, and the major reasons
supporting it.
3. On later stages, share outlines and drafts so that to anticipate how your
final readers will respond.
Writing groups may be a useful practice for theses or dissertations.
