1. Presentation: Preliminary Diagnosis

   • Statement of the Research
     • Research Justification: Explains why the project is important and provides a clear rationale for conducting the study.
     • Research Objectives: Indicate what the research intends to accomplish; must be directly linked to the problem, clear, and measurable.
     • Research Questions & Hypothesis: Questions: Guide the study and determine necessary data (must be clear, specific, and answerable). Hypothesis: Offers a provisional answer/explanation to the research problem before data collection.
   • Definition & Purpose: An initial analysis conducted before launching a full investigation to understand a situation or problem.
   • Steps to Conduct: Observe the situation. Identify the problem. Collect relevant information. Analyze causes and consequences. Clearly define the core problem.
   • Importance: Establishes a baseline understanding, prevents mistakes, and ensures the investigation starts correctly.

2. Presentation: Formulation of Research Hypotheses

   • Definition: A temporary/provisional answer or proposal to solve a research problem.
   • Types of Hypotheses:Research Hypothesis ($H_1$): Main expected relationship or proposition.Null Hypothesis ($H_0$): States there is no significant effect or relationship.Alternative Hypothesis ($H_a$): Proposed alternative if $H_0$ is rejected.Statistical Hypothesis: Expresses relationships using quantitative/numerical data.
   • Conclusion: Organizes, focuses, and guides the whole research process.

3. Presentation: Justification of Research

   • Concept: Formal section demonstrating the strength, validity, relevance, and feasibility of an academic project.
   • The Key Distinction: "Why?" (Origen y Necesidad): Examines the root cause or background need for the study. "What for?" (Utilidad y Propósito): Examines the practical application, utility, and goals of the study.
   • Evaluation Criteria: Solves specific problems, offers practical implications, and proves social relevance/convenience.
