A dissertation not only requires compliance with academic norms but also a clear structural arrangement.
Title page, abstract, introduction, literature review, experimental procedure, discussion of results, conclusion and references are all essential parts.
For the setting of the main sentence, care should be taken to be concise and cover the key information.
In the abstract section, it should briefly summarise the research objectives, methods and findings.
Review the literature of previous scholars and analyse the relevant status quo, indicate where the research problem lies, and elaborate the significance and value of the thesis.
Analyse the obtained data, results and their contribution to the existing research.
Conclude with a summary statement of the implications of the findings for theory, research, and practical applications.
For the arrangement of the content of the body and appendices, it is necessary to try to keep within the prescribed word count.
Step by step content characteristics and the corresponding notes:
I. Title Page
The title of the paper, the name of the author, the name of the school/college and the date of submission of the paper are presented on this page. Among them, the title of the dissertation is extremely crucial; a good title should express the theme and core ideas of the dissertation as accurately as possible.
Abstract
This is actually a short but complete text review for the whole thesis. It needs to briefly summarise the research objectives, methodology and findings, etc. By writing the abstract, it helps to clarify the main line of research and make the structure of the thesis more tightly organised.
III. Introduction
This section aims to guide the reader into the topic of the thesis, explain the theoretical and methodological background, and explain the importance and necessity of the research. At the same time, here, the topics and hypotheses to be explored next can be introduced to show their unique views and positions.
Fourth, the key section of literature review. In this part, you need to review a large amount of relevant literature and analyse the existing research results, speaking the shortcomings in the literature to show the uniqueness and innovativeness of your own research.
Fifth, the experimental design and execution stage, this link directly determines the success or failure of the research.
In this section, you should record the details of the experiment, analyse the data results, discuss the possible sources of error and the corresponding solutions and so on.
Sixth, to ensure that the basis of analysis is sufficiently reasonable and unquestionable.
Discussion
The discussion section is the core part of the thesis, involving a detailed discussion of the experimental results and findings, and drawing scientific conclusions. In the process of discussion, often from different perspectives for many times to deduce, and strive for objective and comprehensive conclusions.
VIII. Conclusion
This section mainly summarises the implications of the findings for theory, research and practice, and also explains their importance and significance in the overall field of research based on the results that have been tallied.
IX. Annex Section
You need to keep an eye on whether you have exceeded the given word limit. In addition, appropriate references to human hearts and minds materials to enrich the content of the paper, but to avoid the main text is overly elongated.
The above is the complete process of structuring a dissertation. We hope that this guide can help you in your teaching work, and we also expect that teachers and students can improve and progress together. Thank you!
