Unit 2: Developing a Research Problem Lesson 1 Identifying a Quantitative Research Problem Practical Research 2 Senior High School Applied - Academic Where should we get our research problems? How do we identify them? ENGAG EXPLO EXPLAI EXTEN EVALUA 2 Learning Identify the range of topics in Objective a field of inquiry. s At the end of the Understand the process of lesson, you should be able to identifying research topics. do the following: ENGAG EXPLO EXPLAI EXTEN EVALUA 33  How do you think can we identify where to get our topics from? ENGAG EXPLO EXPLAI EXTEN EVALUA 44  Why is identifying topics crucial at the beginning of research writing? ENGAG EXPLO EXPLAI EXTEN EVALUA 55  Identifying the Area of Inquiry The ability to choose a topic is an essential skill to start a good research paper. It is important that you pick out a relevant and valuable topic and maximize the resources that you have. ENGAG EXPLO EXPLAI EXTEN EVALUA 6  1. Brainstorm for ideas. When brainstorming, it is Steps in more advisable to Identifyin concentrate on topics that g the Area interest you. It is also of Inquiry helpful if you focus on your field. ENGAG EXPLO EXPLAI EXTEN EVALUA 7 Did you know?

Make your matrix. Look into the research gaps when reading different resources and previous researches. Research gaps are areas of the study that remain unanswered, hence its openness to be researched about. ENGAG EXPLO EXPLAI EXTEN EVALUA 11 11 Did you know? Identifying research gaps may prevent the replication of the exact topics that were already studied before. It helps you to get over the “so what” question. 12 Tip Research gaps are helpful in exploring for potential research topics. For instance, you may look into the recommendations to future researchers in previous studies. It is also useful to review the scope of the study to help you identify possible research gaps. 13 4. Describe your topic of interest briefly. Analyze the angle of the topic you are really interested in. Know the value of the research topic to focus on the perspective why it is relevant. Describing your topic briefly may give you an overview if the topic is feasible to be researched about. ENGAG EXPLO EXPLAI EXTEN EVALUA 14 14 5.

It may include changing the topic itself, the variables and others as there may be too much or too little available literature. ENGAG EXPLO EXPLAI EXTEN EVALUA 15 15 6. Formulate your working title. Your working title focuses on the direction of your study. It helps you determine your variables and may give you a preview of its possible dynamics within your research. ENGAG EXPLO EXPLAI EXTEN EVALUA 16 16 Did you know? Working titles may change as the research writing also progresses. 17 How do you think variables are related with the range of topics in the area of inquiry? 18 Designing a Research It is up to you to decide on Useful in what interests you and what Daily Life you view as relevant and present in your specific field of specialization.
