The collected data were analyzed using the fifth conditional equation of Thurstone’s law of comparative judgement. According to the results of the study, the part which graduate students have the most difficulties while writing thesis proposal is “problem situation”. This is followed by “data and analiysis”, “importance of the research”, “data and collection”, “research model”, “aims and sub-aims of the study”“universe and samplimng, “hypothesis” and “limitations” parts.It is advised that content of the research methodology courses in graduate levels should be revised according to the parts that the students have more difficulties.
