Study Notes

Overview of Research in Inquiry and Interest

Recognizes the importance of understanding variables in research.
Emphasizes formulating clear research problems.
Key competencies include writing a research title and describing background research.

Learning Outcomes

Identify potential research topics by analyzing interest, data availability, handling capability, and relevance.
Describe the background of the chosen research.

Key Considerations for Research Title

Importance of brevity and conciseness in a research title.
A title should be novel, appropriate, and concise.
Avoid factors like funding when identifying good research problems.

Sources of Researchable Problems

Valid sources include conclusions from previous theses, current and past research, and recommendations from other projects.
Researcher’s talent is not considered a source of researchable problems.

Introduction of the Research Study

First chapter introduces the research problem and discusses significant variables.
Essential elements include:
- Introduction
- Statement of the Problem
- Scope and Delimitation
- Significance of the Study
- Notes in Chapter 1

Components of an Effective Introduction

Establishes the cognitive setting related to the research problem.
Discusses the need for study and clarifies important terminologies.
Highlights the seriousness of the problem prompting the study.

Formulating the Introduction

Rationale should explain the motivation behind researching the problem.
Setting defines geographic boundaries and demographic characteristics.
The literature foundation should guide the study without overlapping with a literature review.

Assessment of Research Problem

Seriousness supported by statistical evidence of its gravity.
General objectives must stem from the problem’s general statement.

Enrichment Activities

Activities designed to facilitate effective introduction formulation include defining rationale, setting, and key variables.
Collection of literature to define main variables is essential.

Research Process

Steps include framing the title, problem definition, and preparation of research instruments.
Researchers should consider social issues, ethical dilemmas, and the adequacy of resources.

Evaluation Criteria for Research Topics

Topics should pass criteria regarding interest, data availability, handling capability, and relevance.

Common Misconceptions and Errors

Avoid focusing on external funding as a priority in selecting research problems.
Ensure clarity between internal criteria (experience, time factors) versus external criteria (availability, ethics).

Advice on Conducting Research

Engage with research advisors and follow structured methodologies.
Maintain awareness of the problems' intensity and magnitude to ensure the research’s significance and relevance.
