is used in identifying a research problem and formulating a research title.
FUNNEL OF IDEAS
This funnel of ideas is used in identifying a research problem and formulating a research title. It contains the following elements:
- T_______
- b_____ topic
- n________ topic
- t_______title
- Theme
- Broad topic
- narrowing topic
- thesis title
WHAT PART OF THE FUNNEL OF IDEAS?
(the proposed title you came up using the ideas from the THEME up to the NARROWING THE TOPIC STAGE).
THESIS TITLE
WHAT PART OF THE FUNNEL OF IDEAS?
(in which you are connecting the broad topic to your context/situation or may be a situation of people in your locality)
NARROWING TOPIC
WHAT PART OF THE FUNNEL OF IDEAS?
(where the ideas that you have generated in the theme is considered as current issue or the problem is existing),
BROAD TOPIC
WHAT PART OF THE FUNNEL OF IDEAS?
(ideas generated as the possible research topic)
THEME
According to B_________ (2016), a research p__________ is something that nurtures in a researcher’s mind like difficulty or uncertainty, enough to push a researcher to do an empirical study in which they opt to find solutions to a problem and to answer possible gaps they perceived based on curiosity.
According to Baraceros (2016), a research problem is something that nurtures in a researcher’s mind like difficulty or uncertainty, enough to push a researcher to do an empirical study in which they opt to find solutions to a problem and to answer possible gaps they perceived based on curiosity.
C__________ (2014) stated that research p__________ are educational issues, controversies, and problems where researchers are trying to investigate.
Creswell (2014) also added other factors in considering a research problem and research title as quantitative by nature, he mentioned that a research problem should:
- measures v________ (independent and dependent v__________ )
- Assess the i_________ of these variables in an o_________
- Test t__________ or b_______ explanations
- Apply r________ to a large number of p_____
Creswell (2014) also added other factors in considering a research problem and research title as quantitative by nature, he mentioned that a research problem should:
- measures variables (independent and dependent variable)
- Assess the impact of these variables in an outcome
- Test theories or broad explanations
- Apply results to a large number of people
A standard research title should have the following elements:
- A____ or p_________ of the problem for the investigation.
- The s_________ matter or t_____ to be investigated.
- The p_____ or l______where the research is to be conducted.
- Period of t_____ study during which the data are to be gathered
- P__________ or people from whom the data are to be collected
A standard research title should have the following elements:
1. Aim or purpose of the problem for the investigation.
2. The subject matter or topic to be investigated.
3. The place or locale where the research is to be conducted.
4. Period of time study during which the data are to be gathered
5. Population or people from whom the data are to be collected
According to the Website of UCLA University, research b____________ or I___________ leads the reader from general research problem or issue to the specific area of research
According to the Website of UCLA University, research background or Introduction leads the reader from general research problem or issue to the specific area of research
Reyes (2009) suggested that a research should think the introduction or background of the research as a m_______ r_______ map that answers these four questions:
- What am I s__________?
- Why is this topic important to i____________?
- What do we already k_________ about this topic or what have other experts d___________ about the topic?
- How will my research advances new k__________ or new ways of u__________?
Reyes (2009) suggested that a research should think the introduction or background of the research as a mental road map that answers these four questions:
- What am I studying?
- Why is this topic important to investigate?
- What do we already know about this topic or what have other experts discovered about the topic?
- How will my research advances new knowledge or new ways of understanding?
