Research process model for bachelor's thesis

This is an exploration of challenges faced by bachelor’s students during the thesis-writing process and the development of a model to simplify and visualise this research journey. Drawing from literature and insights gained through supervision observations and interviews, the model addresses common challenges such as topic selection, methodological clarity, and adherence to academic standards. It offers an outlined approach, first focusing on research proposal development and then progressing to the full project, covering key elements such as the literature review, problem definition, research questions, methodology, and ethical considerations. By providing a clear, step-by-step guide, the model enhances student understanding and fosters academic independence, offering practical support for both students and supervisors.

Abstract

This is an exploration of challenges faced by bachelor’s students during the thesis-writing process and the development of a model to simplify and visualise this research journey. Drawing from literature and insights gained through supervision observations and interviews, the model addresses common challenges such as topic selection, methodological clarity, and adherence to academic standards. It offers an outlined approach, first focusing on research proposal development and then progressing to the full project, covering key elements such as the literature review, problem definition, research questions, methodology, and ethical considerations. By providing a clear, step-by-step guide, the model enhances student understanding and fosters academic independence, offering practical support for both students and supervisors.
