How to write a project plan for research study.
Project planning is an important part of inquiry learning, which can provide clear and operable procedures for researchers. The project plan mainly includes the research background, purpose and significance, implementation plan and expected results. Project plans are usually presented in tabular form. When writing a project plan, we should pay attention to scientificity, feasibility and process.

The formulation of project plan is a necessary condition for project research, which not only provides clear and operable procedures for researchers, but also provides reliable methods for the operation of these procedures, and is a "blueprint" for project research. Scientific research is a process in which information is widely collected, analyzed, processed and processed, and conclusions that are helpful for understanding and solving corresponding problems are drawn. Due to the limitation of teachers and students' knowledge structure and scientific literacy, the research on the subject often stays at the empirical level, ignoring the fundamental link of scientific research (real-time collection, analysis, processing and processing of information). Therefore, attaching importance to project design is of great significance to ensure the standardization of research and improve the quality of scientific research.
First, the content of the project plan
The project plan includes research background, purpose and significance, division of labor among members, implementation plan, feasibility demonstration, expected results and their expression, among which the implementation plan is the main part of the project plan. The research background is to ask questions and explain why we should study this topic. The research background includes theoretical background and practical needs. It is also necessary to summarize the research status of similar topics at home and abroad: ① What are people studying and to what extent? (2) Find out what you want to learn but others haven't done yet. (3) What others have done, you think it is not enough (or defective), and put forward perfect ideas or measures. Others have done it, so you have to do another experiment to verify it.
Purpose meaning refers to what problems will be solved (or what conclusions will be drawn) through this research, and what is the significance of solving this problem (or drawing conclusions). Sometimes the research background and purpose are combined into one. The division of labor among members should refer to the responsibilities of the members of the research group in the research process. The implementation plan is the core part of the project, which mainly includes the research content, research methods and time arrangement. Research content refers to something that can be operated, generally including several levels: (1) research direction. (2) subtitle (quantity and title). (3) The contents related to the research plan, that is, through what, what purpose is achieved, etc. Should the research method clearly indicate whether it is literature research or experimental investigation? If the survey is a general survey or a spot check? If it is an experimental study, please indicate whether there are controlled experiments and repeated experiments. The implementation plan shall specify the schedule, location, tasks and objectives of each stage and the responsible person. If you go out to investigate, you should list the investigators, subjects, contents, means of transportation, investigation tools, etc. If it is an experimental study, you need to write down the experimental content, experimental location and equipment. The more specific the implementation, the easier it is to operate.
Feasibility demonstration refers to the conditions needed for research, that is, materials, experimental equipment, research funds, students' knowledge and skills and teachers' guiding ability. In addition, what work has been done, what difficulties and problems still exist, and what help schools and teachers need to provide. The expected results usually appear in the form of papers or investigation (experiment) reports. The results are expressed in words, pictures, objects, multimedia and so on.
Second, the format of the project plan
Generally, it is presented in tabular form, but it can also be expressed in other ways (for details, see the attachment: Project Plan of the research-based learning project "Pingchang County Resource Survey and Economic Outlook").
Three. Matters needing attention in writing project plan
First, we should pay attention to feasibility. The project plan should be detailed and clear, and the research methods and steps should be operable. The implementation plan should be detailed and informative, and the time schedule of each research stage should be reasonable and sufficient. In-class time is generally used for topic selection, data collection, communication and display, and investigation, experiment, material processing and thesis writing are arranged as much as possible after class; In the case of experimental research, we should consider repeating the experiment to eliminate the interference of accidental factors. The choice of research methods should be determined according to the subject content, students' cognitive level and teachers' guiding ability. Data collection and experiments should be completed in school as far as possible. Second, we should pay attention to science. The project plan should reflect the characteristics of novel conception, rigorous structure and fluent writing. The meaning and purpose of asking questions should be consistent with the expected results; All parts of the plan should not be arrogant; The information obtained and the opinions put forward should be objective and true and stand scrutiny. Third, we should pay attention to the process. The whole research process must be reflected in the project plan, such as research content, research methods, research steps (topic selection → topic opening → data collection → implementation → conclusion → exchange and display → reflection after research) and expected results.

Research background (why put forward the research topic, including the purpose and significance of the research):
According to the spirit of "Implementation Guide for Inquiry Learning in Ordinary Senior High Schools (Trial)" issued by the Ministry of Education, the Sichuan Provincial Department of Education decided to offer inquiry learning courses in the first grade of national and provincial demonstration high schools in the province from the spring of 20001,which is a major breakthrough in the curriculum reform of senior high schools in China. Pingchang Middle School is a provincial demonstration high school. We set up the course of "Inquiry Learning" in Class 0/8, grade 2004. After one year's research study, the enthusiasm of the students of Grade 2004 in Senior Three for independent research is unprecedentedly high, and more than 60 projects of/kloc-0 have been carried out vividly. Students have mastered the process and methods of research-based learning, which has laid a good foundation for research-based learning. This year, 20 classes of Grade 2005 in Grade One of Senior High School also offered "Research Learning" courses, with 3 classes per week. Our school is located in Jiangkou Town, Pingchang, a national poverty-stricken county. Our research study should combine the local conditions, make suggestions for the local government, and provide the basis for people to get rid of poverty and become rich. Therefore, in 2005, we proposed to carry out resource investigation and economic prospect investigation in Pingchang County.
Research content:
According to the actual situation of economic development in Pingchang County, the resource investigation and economic prospect of Pingchang County were preliminarily studied. Specifically, it can be divided into: land resources and development, water resources and development prospects, mountain forest resources and development prospects, transportation development and information industry, energy status and development prospects, tourism status and development prospects, enterprise development and beautiful blueprint, cultural and educational undertakings, talent status and development prospects.
Research methods:
1. Establish cooperative learning groups: according to the number of students in 2005, academic performance, gender, hobbies, etc. Students are divided into several cooperative learning groups with 5- 10 students in each group. Ask for the opinions of the class teacher and the wishes of the students when grouping, so that the cooperation of the personnel is as fair and reasonable as possible, and a group can represent the epitome of a class. Students elect their own team leader, information collector, data collator, contact statistician, etc. Members have their own division of labor and their own strengths.
2. Topic-centered: under the guidance of teachers, students independently establish research topics and conduct research-based learning around them. Individuals or groups can go to relevant departments to investigate and understand the situation and search for information.
3. Pay attention to the process of students' inquiry: from the determination of research topics to the design of research process, the application of research methods and the written expression of results, students will independently complete the inquiry under the guidance of teachers, and all the guidance made by teachers should be centered on students' inquiry learning. Combined with the characteristics of our county, teachers carefully design the contents of investigation and research, inspire students to find problems, stimulate their enthusiasm for inquiry learning, guide students to question, investigate and debate, and teach students with different qualities and different situations in accordance with their aptitude.
4. Team Award: No matter what the learning foundation is, as long as there is progress, every student can get improved points. The greater the progress, the more points you get and the greater your contribution to the group. Evaluate in groups and reward groups and individuals who have made great progress.
