文秘寫作在教學(xué)過程中應(yīng)貫穿寫作能力與職業(yè)技能兩條主要線索，既要強(qiáng)調(diào)文秘寫作與其它文體寫作的不同，認(rèn)識文秘職業(yè)的獨(dú)特性，從文秘職業(yè)出發(fā)進(jìn)行寫作教學(xué)，同時(shí)由于寫作過程的綜合性特點(diǎn)，又要強(qiáng)調(diào)學(xué)生具備一定的觀察能力、搜集信息的能力、社會調(diào)查研究的能力、邏輯思維能力和語言表達(dá)能力。寫作是文秘的工作職責(zé)之一，下面是關(guān)于開題報(bào)告撰寫指導(dǎo)，僅供大家參考。

　　開題報(bào)告撰寫的方法開題報(bào)告的撰寫主要包括以下幾個(gè)方面：

　　1.開題報(bào)告名稱 開題報(bào)告名稱就是開題報(bào)告名字。這看起來似乎是個(gè)小問題，但實(shí)際上很多人寫專題名稱時(shí)，往往寫得不準(zhǔn)確、不恰當(dāng)，從而影響整個(gè)開題報(bào)告的形象與質(zhì)量。那么，如何給開題報(bào)告起名稱呢?

　　(1)、名稱要準(zhǔn)確、規(guī)范。 準(zhǔn)確就是開題報(bào)告的名稱要把開題報(bào)告研究的問題是什么，研究的對象是什么交待清楚。開題報(bào)告的名稱一定要和研究的內(nèi)容相一致，不能太大，也不能太小，要準(zhǔn)確的把研究的對象、問題概括出來。 規(guī)范就是所用的詞語、句型要規(guī)范、科學(xué)，似是而非的詞不能用，口號式、結(jié)論式的句型不要用。因?yàn)槲覀兪窃谶M(jìn)行科學(xué)研究，要用科學(xué)的、規(guī)范的語言去表述我們的思想和觀點(diǎn)。 這里有一個(gè)專題名稱叫“培養(yǎng)自主學(xué)習(xí)能力，提高課堂學(xué)習(xí)效率”，如果這個(gè)題目是一篇經(jīng)驗(yàn)性論文，或者是一個(gè)研究報(bào)告，還不錯(cuò)，但作為專題的名稱，則不是很好的。因?yàn)閷ｎ}就是我們要解決的問題，這個(gè)問題正在探討，正開始研究，不能有結(jié)論性的語氣。若改為“自主學(xué)習(xí)能力的培養(yǎng)對提高課堂學(xué)習(xí)效率的影響”則較為妥當(dāng)。

　　(2)、名稱要簡潔，不能太長。 不管是論文或者開題報(bào)告，名稱都不能太長，能不要的字就盡量不要，最長一般不要超過20字。

　　2.研究的目的、意義 研究的目的、意義也就是為什么要研究、研究它有什么價(jià)值，研究背景是什么。 這一般可以先從現(xiàn)實(shí)需要方面去論述，指出現(xiàn)實(shí)中存在這個(gè)問題，需要去研究，去解決，本開題報(bào)告的研究有什么實(shí)際作用。然后，再寫開題報(bào)告的理論和學(xué)術(shù)價(jià)值。這些都要寫得具體一點(diǎn)，有針對性一點(diǎn)，不能漫無邊際地空喊口號。

　　3.研究的指導(dǎo)思想 開題報(bào)告研究的指導(dǎo)思想就是在宏觀上應(yīng)堅(jiān)持什么方向，符合什么要求等。 這個(gè)方向或要求可能是哲學(xué)、數(shù)學(xué)、自然科學(xué)、政治理論，也可以是科學(xué)發(fā)展規(guī)劃，也可以是有關(guān)研究問題的指導(dǎo)性意見等。

　　4.研究的目標(biāo)和假設(shè) 開題報(bào)告研究的目標(biāo)和假設(shè)也就是課題最后要達(dá)到的具體目的，要解決哪些具體問題。 相對于目的和指導(dǎo)思想而言，研究目標(biāo)和假設(shè)是比較具體的，不能籠統(tǒng)地講，必須清楚地寫出來。只有目標(biāo)明確、假設(shè)具體，才能明確工作的具體方向是什么，才能了解研究的重點(diǎn)是什么，思路就不會被各種因素所干擾。 確定專題研究目標(biāo)和假設(shè)時(shí)，一方面要考慮專題本身的要求，另一方面還要考慮開題報(bào)告組實(shí)際的工作條件與工作水平。

　　5.研究的基本內(nèi)容 我們有了開題報(bào)告的研究目標(biāo)和假設(shè)，就要根據(jù)目標(biāo)和假設(shè)來確定我們這個(gè)開題報(bào)告具體要研究的內(nèi)容。 相對研究目標(biāo)和假設(shè)來說，研究內(nèi)容要更具體、更明確，并且一個(gè)目標(biāo)和假設(shè)可能要通過幾方面的研究內(nèi)容來實(shí)現(xiàn)，我們不一定是一一對應(yīng)的關(guān)系。 大家在確定研究內(nèi)容的時(shí)候，往往考慮的不是很具體，寫出來的研究內(nèi)容特別籠統(tǒng)、模糊，把研究的目的、意義當(dāng)作研究內(nèi)容，這對我們整個(gè)專題研究十分不利。

　　6.研究的步驟和進(jìn)度 開題報(bào)告研究的步驟和進(jìn)度，也就是開題報(bào)告研究在時(shí)間和順序上的安排。 研究的步驟和進(jìn)度要充分考慮研究內(nèi)容的相互聯(lián)系和難易程度。一般情況下，都是從基礎(chǔ)問題開始，分階段進(jìn)行，每個(gè)階段從什么時(shí)間開始，至什么時(shí)間結(jié)束都要有規(guī)定。

　　7.研究方法和資料獲取途徑 開題報(bào)告研究的方法很多，包括歷史研究法、調(diào)查研究法、實(shí)驗(yàn)研究法、比較研究法、理論研究法等，但在研究性學(xué)習(xí)中的開題報(bào)告研究方法用得最多的是社會調(diào)查法和受控對比實(shí)驗(yàn)法。一個(gè)大的專題往往需要多種方法，小的專題可以主要采用一種方法，同時(shí)兼用其他方法。 在應(yīng)用各種方法時(shí)，一定要嚴(yán)格按照方法的要求，不能只憑經(jīng)驗(yàn)、常識去做。比如，要通過調(diào)查了解情況，如何制定調(diào)查表，如何進(jìn)行分析，都不是隨隨便便發(fā)張表，列一些百分?jǐn)?shù)、平均數(shù)就行了。 開題報(bào)告研究資料的獲取途徑也很多，包括文獻(xiàn)調(diào)查、考察調(diào)查、問卷調(diào)查、設(shè)計(jì)并進(jìn)行實(shí)驗(yàn)、科學(xué)觀測等。主要采用哪些資料獲取途徑，一定要經(jīng)過充分的研究。

　　8.研究的成果形式 開題報(bào)告研究的成果形式包括報(bào)告、論文、發(fā)明、軟件、課件等多種形式。專題不同，研究成果的內(nèi)容、形式也不一樣。但不管形式是什么，專題研究必須有成果，否則，就是這個(gè)專題沒有完成。

　　9.研究的組織機(jī)構(gòu)和人員分工 在集體開題報(bào)告研究方案中，要寫出專題組組長、副組長，專題組成員以及分工。專題組組長就是本專題的負(fù)責(zé)人。 專題組的分工必須要分得明確合理，爭取讓每個(gè)人了解自己的工作和責(zé)任，不能吃大鍋飯，但是在分工的基礎(chǔ)上，也要注意全體人員的合作，大家共同研究，共同商討，克服研究過程中的各種困難和問題。

　　How to write a research proposal When you are applying for a research degree, like the PhD, you will very probably have to write a research proposal as a part of your application file. A PhD is awarded mainly as the result of your making a genuine contribution to the state of knowledge in a field of your choice. Even though this is not the Nobel Prize yet, getting the degree means you have added something to what has previously been known on the subject you have researched. But first you have to prove you are capable of making such a contribution, and therefore write a research proposal that meets certain standards. The goal of a research proposal (RP) is to present and justify a research idea you have and to present the practical ways in which you think this research should be conducted. When you are writing a RP, keep in mind that it will enter a competition, being read in line with quite a few other RPs. You have to come up with a document that has an impact upon the reader: write clearly and well structured so that your message gets across easily. Basically, your RP has to answer three big questions: what research project will you undertake, why is important to know that thing and how will you proceed to make that research. In order to draw the researcher's attention upon your paper, write an introduction with impact, and that leads to the formulation of your hypothesis. The research hypothesis has to be specific, concise (one phrase) and to lead to the advancement of the knowledge in the field in some way. Writing the hypothesis in a concise manner and, first, coming up with a good hypothesis is a difficult mission. This is actually the core of your application: you're going to a university to do this very piece of research. Compared to this, the rest of the application is background scenery. Take your time to think of it. When you have an idea, be careful at the formulation. A well-written hypothesis is something of an essay's thesis: it provides a statement that can be tested (argues ahead one of the possible answers to a problem), it is an idea, a concept, and not a mere fact, and is summed up in one phrase. In some cases, you will have no idea what the possible answer to a problem worth being researched is, but you will be able to think of a way to solve that problem, and find out the answer in the meantime. It's ok in this case, to formulate a research question, rather than a hypothesis. Let those cases be rare, in any way. Another piece of advice when writing your hypothesis, regarding the trendy research fields: chances are great that they're trendy because somebody has already made that exciting discovery, or wrote that splendid paper that awoke everybody's interest in the first place. If you're in one of these fields, try to get a fresh point of view upon the subject; make new connections, don't be 100% mainstream. This will make the project even more stimulating for the reader. Imagine that you are writing about the trendiest subject, with absolutely no change in the point of view, and you are given the chance to make the research. Trends come and go, fast; what are the chances that, in four years' time, when your research is done and you are ready to publish your results, one of those well-known professors who dispose of huge research grants has already said whatever you had to say? Remember how, in a structured essay, right after the thesis you would present the organisation of your essay, by enumerating the main arguments you were going to present? Same thing should happen in a RP. After stating your thesis, you should give a short account of your answers to those three questions mention earlier. State, in a few phrases, what will be learned from your research, that your project will make a difference, and why is that important to be known. You will have to elaborate on both of these later in the paper. The next step in writing your proposal is to prove that that particular piece of research has not been done yet. This section is usually called Literature Review. Inside it, you have to enumerate and critically analyze an impressive list of boring bibliography. The conclusion you should - objectively! - reach is that your idea of research has not been undertaken yet. Even more, you use this opportunity to prove solid theoretical knowledge in the field, and build the theoretical bases of your project. One tip: don't review all the articles and books in the fields even if you mention them in the bibliography list; pay attention in your analysis to those you will build on. Another one: avoid jargon when writing your RP. The chances are great that the person(s) who will read your and another 1000 research proposals are not specialists in that very field - niche you are examining. If you are applying for a grant with or foundation or something similar, it might happen that those reading your paper are not even professors, but recruiters, donors, etc. And even if they actually are professors, one of the reasons busy people like them agree to undertake a huge, and sometimes voluntary, work, is the desire to meet some diversity, some change from their work - so maybe they'll read applications for another specialisation. The capacity to get your message across in clear, easy-to-grasp concepts and phrases is one of the winning papers' most important advantages. So far, you have proven you have a research idea, that you are familiar with the field, and that your idea is new. Now, why should your project be worth researching? Because it advances knowledge, ok. But is this knowledge that anybody will need? Maybe nobody knows for sure how the shoelaces were being tied in the XIXth century, but who cares, beyond two lace-tying specialists? Find arguments to convince the reader that s/he should give you money for that research: practical use, accelerating the development of knowledge in your or other fields, opening new research possibilities, a better understanding of facts that will allow a more appropriate course of action are possible reasons. Be clear and specific. Don't promise to save the world, it might be too much to start with. Even James Bond succeeds that only towards the end of the movie. We approach now one of the most difficult parts of writing a research proposal: the methodology. In short, what actions are you going to take in order to answer the question? When will you know whether the hypothesis has been proven wrong, or has survived enough tests to be considered, for now, valid? Those tests and the way you are supposed to handle them to give rigor to your research is what is understood under methods. Methods divide in qualitative (interviews, questionnaires) and quantitative (statistics, stuff that deals intensively with numbers). For some projects qualitative methods are more appropriate, for some quantitative, while for most a mixture of the two is adequate. You should pick your methods and justify your choice. Research methodology, however, is too a complicated thing to be explained here. And this is why it's so tough: not much attention is given to teaching it in Eastern Europe. Try, before writing your RP, to read a bit more about methodology - on the Internet you will find for sure some articles - and decide which methods suit your project best. Don't forget: reading theoretical pieces of your work and providing a critical analysis of those is also a kind of research. It's fine to provide a rough schedule of your research; some grant programs will also require a detailed budget, even though for scholarships this is unlikely. Conclusions: After working your way through the difficult methodological part, you only have to write your conclusions. Shortly recap why your hypothesis is new, why it advances knowledge, why is it worth researching and how, from a practical point of view, are you going to do that. Overall, the capacity of your project to answer the research question should come out crystal clear from the body of the paper, and especially from the conclusions. If this happens, it means you have a well-written RP, and you have just increased you chances for having a successful application. One last word: how big should your RP be? In most cases, this is specified in the application form. If it is not, we suggest that you keep it at about 1500 words (that's 3 pages, single-spaced, with 12 size Times New Roman). In fewer words it can be really tough to write a good RP. With more you might bore your readers. Which we hope will not happen. Good luck
