First of all, it is necessary to understand what the Master's thesis.The requirements for its creation are different from those that are nominated to the term paper or diploma project.Although many of the key points are similar, as the Master's thesis is also a scientific study, carried out by students independently, only at a higher level.
Master's thesis - a graduation project, a scientific study carried out by students under the guidance of the supervisor with the possible involvement of the competent scientific advisors who are experts in a narrow field of study.
Master's thesis - project, which should be viewed not only the author's ability to analyze and systematize scientific data and draw conclusions, but also the ability to conduct research, select and propose new, previously unexplored aspects of the subject area.
to work on the theoretical, analytical and empirical levels, indicating a high level of professional competence of the author, not only as a theorist, but also practice.
Along with such structural elements of the administration as a goal setting, object, subject (with them a researcher known since writing course and diploma), Master's work at a high scientific level implies an approach to the selection of the research methodology, the wording of the provisions submitted for protection.This applies to the protection of the nominated novelty.
That is important, that it is going to offer a candidate for a degree in the science of new and previously unknown, other authors have not lighted.
This point is very important and often causes difficulties for researchers, because modern science in various fields have been studied a lot and topical issues.However, before the task of dissertation work through a lot of literature, familiar with the trend of scientific thought in the proposed subject matter and determine what still has not been fully studied.This can be rather narrow aspect, but requires deep study and research at the empirical level.
By the choice of methods by which will be carried out research in the master's work, should be taken very seriously, as it is properly chosen methodology can guarantee reliable research results.Methods can be selected both qualitative and quantitative separately.But it is better if they combine.For example, social or psychological experiment - a qualitative research method.Factor and correlation analysis belong to quantitative methods.At the stage of the selection methodology is best to consult with the supervisor or experts in the field of sociology, who will be able to advise the right way and avoid mistakes.
First of all you need to organize everything that contains a thesis.Requirements for the work of each institution may be different, but not very much, as always Master's thesis consists of the following structural components:
title fox;
essay (with a short statement of the characteristics of the works);
content with page numbers;
administration containing all the necessary elements (relevance, purpose, tasks, object, subject, originality, testing, etc.);
main part (consists of 3 sections, each of the required number of sub-sections);
conclusion;
bibliography (GOST R7.05-2008);
applications;
auxiliary indexes.
Despite the large number of theoretical material processed, detailed descriptions of studies that includes master's thesis, its volume may not be very large.Presumably 80-100 pp. Typewritten in technical specialties, pp 100-110. - For the humanities.Applications in this volume is not included.They can be as long as necessary to complete the presentation of research results.It is not desirable if the number exceeds the volume of the thesis.These requirements should be specified individually on the chair of the institute, which performs the project.
