Abstract


 * INTRODUCTION**

What is an abstract? It is a short summary of your completed research. It is important because it provides concise information about the whole research.

These are the basic components of an abstract in any discipline:


 * 1) Motivation/problem statement:** Why is the problem important for you? What is the gap in the research area that motivates you to carry out the study?
 * 2) Methods/procedure/approach:** What did you actually do to get your results? (e.g. prepared a questionnaire to be distributed to xxx participants)
 * 3) Results/findings:** What did you find out after you have collected and analyzed the data?
 * 4) Conclusion/implications:** What can you conclude from the findings/ research in general?


 * KEYWORDS**

After you've written the abstract, it would be helpful if you identify the keywords of your research. Keywords are the important words in your research. For your research, try to come up with at least three (3) keywords.
