TITLE OF PROPOSED STUDY
The title should briefly and simply reflect the main topic of the paper, identifying the actual variables or theoretical issues to be investigated and the relationship between them. Avoid words that serve no useful purpose, as well as abbreviations. Recommended length is 10-12 words.

Lay down your research questions and discuss how the answers to the said questions (results) will contribute to the solution of the problem/s.

Please describe the conceptual framework of your study. This framework consists of: (1) your chosen approach to address the research problem/s, (2) the variables you will consider in the study, with their operational definitions, (3) the hypotheses and/or propositions of the study, with a rationale or justification for each, and (4) model equation/s, if applicable. Include a diagram or a figure to show the key concepts and describe how they interplay with each other.
The literature and studies cited in this section should focus on justifying any of the components of the research framework.
