tutkimusesitys

Tutkimusesitys is a Finnish term that translates to "research presentation" or "research proposal" depending on the context. In an academic setting, it refers to a formal presentation of research ideas, findings, or a planned research project. This can take various forms, such as an oral presentation at a conference, a seminar, or a defense of a thesis or dissertation. It can also refer to a written document outlining a proposed research study, its objectives, methodology, and expected outcomes.

The purpose of a tutkimusesitys is multifaceted. It serves as a way to disseminate knowledge and engage with the academic community, allowing for feedback and constructive criticism. For a research proposal, it is crucial for securing funding or approval from a research ethics committee. It demonstrates the researcher's understanding of the field, their ability to design and execute a study, and their potential to contribute new knowledge.

The content of a tutkimusesitys typically includes an introduction that establishes the background and significance of the research topic, a review of relevant literature, a clear statement of research questions or hypotheses, a detailed description of the methodology to be employed, and an outline of the expected results and their potential implications. In some cases, it might also include a discussion of limitations and future research directions. The level of detail and formality can vary depending on the specific requirements of the institution or event.
