Research literacy – literate Navorsingsgelettertheid - geletterd Research Process Navorsingsproses The process Die proses Knowing what your focus is Identify topic Staying on track Inform yourself - Know what is known Lit review See how topic has been explored already Find the GAP Situates the focus and purpose of research Problem statement Stipulates the gap Specifies the focus of this PARTICULAR study Research question Leads into study aim & objectives Methodology & methods Approach & design How the study will unfold Ethics & rigour Collection Data Analysis Interpretation Disseminate findings / results Focus area / Fokus area ‘student success in undergraduate nursing degree programmes’ ‘studente sukses in voorgraadse verpleeggraadprogramme’ Focus area, topic & question Fokus area, onderwerp & vraag Focus – Topic –Question Fokus – Onderwerp – Vraag Issue (Broad) Research Question Underlying Significance Utility (Narrower) Problem(s) What is the issue or overall topic What is a specific What is the How will that interests research question What is the value of addressing this you? you want to problem that exploring / problem help, investigate? makes your investigating how could question worth this problem? answering this investigating? question be useful? Is this question feasible? Worksheet on SUNLearn module page / Wekblad op SUNLearn moduleblad Relevance + Academic relevance means that the research can fill a gap in knowledge or contribute to a scholarly debate in your field. + Social relevance means that the research can advance our understanding of society and inform social change. + Practical relevance means that the research can be applied to solve concrete problems or improve real-life processes. Relevansie + Akademiese relevansie beteken dat die navorsing 'n gaping in kennis kan vul of kan bydra tot 'n wetenskaplike debat in jou veld. + Sosiale relevansie beteken dat die navorsing ons begrip van die samelewing kan bevorder en sosiale verandering kan inlig. + Praktiese relevansie beteken dat die navorsing toegepas kan word om konkrete probleme op te los of werklike prosesse te verbeter. Feasibility, consider … +consider the timeframe for completing the project +the practicalities of conducting the research: + ??? enough time to: + read across the topic + find enough sources + gather enough data + ??? access to data sources + ??? funding, resources, +will the topic hold your interest for the length of the research process? Haalbaarheid, oorweeg … + oorweeg die tydsraamwerk vir die voltooiing van die projek + die praktiese aspekte van die uitvoer van die navorsing: + ??? genoeg tyd om: + lees oor die onderwerp + genoeg bronne te vind + genoeg data versamel + ??? toegang tot databronne + ??? befondsing, hulpbronne, + sal die onderwerp jou belangstelling hou vir die duur van die navorsingsproses? Step 1 – focus area to problem + Identify a few possible broad issues within the research focus area + Identify topics within the issues that could be researched + Choose a topic for your group – why??? + Compose a few questions within this topic + So, what is the problem then? + Ideal + Real + So what + Next step - compose a draft research question Stap 1 – fokus area tot probleem + Identifiseer 'n paar moontlike breë kwessies binne die navorsingsfokusarea + identifiseer onderwerpe binne die kwessies wat nagevors kan word + Kies 'n onderwerp vir jou groep – hoekom??? + Stel 'n paar vrae binne hierdie onderwerp saam + So, wat is dan die probleem? + Ideale + Werklike + So wat + Volgende stap - stel 'n konsepnavorsingsvraag saam Find an interest in a broad subject area (problem Find area).
