THE RESEARCH PROJECT OUTLINE

An outline is not a FORMAL RESEARCH

WORK, it is only the previous step before
doing a formal research, and it is only the
plan before it.
It has 4 parts

WHAT IS A RESEARCH PROBLEM?

A research problem isthe situation that
causes the researcher to feel apprehensive,
confused and ill at ease. It is the
demarcation of a problem area within a
certain context involving the WHO or WHAT,
the WHERE, the WHEN and the WHY of the
problem situation.
Three sources usually contribute to problem
identification.
Own experience or the experience of
others
Scientific literature that you might read
about certain findings and notice that a
certain field was not covered.

PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION OF THE DESTRUCTION OF THE OZONE LAYER

Ozone, scientifically speaking, is an unstable compound made up of three oxygen atoms. Its
function is to filter the passage of a small part of the damaging ultraviolet radiation (UV-B),
from the sun. On the surface of the earth in the stratosphere, there is located a layer formed
by this compound. It is said that Earth is unique. It protects living beings from extensive
damage from skin inflammation, conjunctivitis, to the defense system impairment and
cancer also may affect normal plant growth, including imbalance in nature. Without their
presence, UV light would destroy all life on earth.

It has been shown that the hole in the ozone layer is closely related to the use of a chemical
made by man, present in various commercial products for sale such as aerosols, paint, etc...
This component is the chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Also known hydro chlorofluorocarbons
(HCFCs) replacements for previous reports, which are mainly used as refrigerants and
blowing agents and which are less hazardous. Halons, which contain bromine, are also
enemies of ozone.

There is an international treaty: the 1987 Montreal Protocol, which commits the countries of
the world to eliminate production and use of substances harmful to the ozone layer. It might
be needed 20 years before ozone levels will improve considerably you can have a full
recovery by the year 2050.

The damage can result in deterioration of the ozone layer and therefore UV-B, are manifold,
including: Promotes and initiates malignant skin cancer and nonmalignant, damages the
immune system, so that people become vulnerable to the action of bacteria and viruses,
cause eye damage, including cataracts, more severe sunburn and causes aging of the skin,
increases the risk of allergic dermatitis and toxic activates certain bacterial and viral
diseases , reduces crop yields, reduces the performance of the fishing industry, producing
damage to materials and equipment to be outdoors.

PROBLEM
FORMULATION

A mini essay has to be redacted, and the

first step is to include THE HEAVIEST
CAUSE,( the one we did not use before)
and its incidence on the problem is
considered as the research theme.
The statement of the problem involves the
demarcation and formulation of the
problem, ie the WHO/WHAT, WHERE,
WHEN, WHY. It usually includes the
statement of the hypothesis.
It has to be delimited properly, so the
research wont take long

CHECKLIST FOR TESTING THE FEASIBILITY OF THE

RESEARCH PROBLEM

RESEARCH JUSTIFICATION
Justifying an investigation is to explain the reasons for which
you want to do that research.
The researcher has to know how to "sell the idea" of research
to do, so you must accentuate the arguments on the benefits
to be gained and practices that will be given to knowledge.
Practical implications theoretical value, methodological tools,
you are going to use, you can also use a new model for
obtaining and collecting information of the study subjects.
It should be stated in an essay form which you will explain the
reasons for the research work, the benefits and beneficiaries;
the use that the knowledge is going to have. Moreover, the
following evaluation criteria about this work should be
included: social relevance, academic or social convenience and
practical implications.
