Practical Research 2: Quantitative Problems

Study Notes

Choosing a relevant and valuable topic is essential for a successful research paper.
Brainstorming focuses on personal interest within a specific field and narrows down potential topics.
Reading extensively ensures availability of resources and literature related to the chosen topic.
Keywords and concepts help in effectively searching for pertinent literature across various sources.

Identifying research gaps involves finding unanswered questions in existing studies.
Research gaps prevent redundancy by avoiding duplication of previously studied topics.
Future researchers' recommendations and study scopes can highlight potential areas for new inquiry.

Briefly describe your area of interest to analyze its relevance and feasibility for research.
Consider the angle and significance of your topic to establish its potential impact.
Confirm literature availability to ensure the topic is suitable for comprehensive research exploration.

Create a working title to guide the focus and direction of your study.
A working title may evolve as research progresses, reflecting changes in variables or perspectives.

Accounting: Topics can include forensic accounting, tax minimization, and financial markets.
Business and Management: Areas might involve green marketing, budgeting strategies, and leadership styles.
Environmental Science: Possible inquiries include marine pollution, sustainability, and soil contamination.
Health Science: Topics such as vaccination, mental health, and global health security are relevant.
Education: Focus areas include inclusive education, teaching strategies, and motivation.
Social Sciences: Research may cover discrimination, migration, and juvenile delinquency.
Humanities: Explore themes such as taboo, folklore, and indigenous cultures.

Formulate at least three specific inquiries within broader topics like sports science or democracy in the Philippines.
Understand that identifying areas of inquiry is crucial in the early phase of the research process, shaping its direction and purpose.

Mastering research topic selection benefits both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies.
Proper identification of a topic lays the groundwork crucial for effective and insightful research writing.
