Hi All,
It is time to revise and reflect things that I went through in the first lesson of EDU 702.
During our first lesson with Dr Teoh, we are exposed to the Introduction of The Educational Research Methodology.
So, in order for us to conduct a research, we must very well know what is the topic area that we are going to study, and a number of considerations to look after such as our variables, our samples and the relationship with the study field area.
As this goes along, one needs to remember that before selecting a topic for their research, a general process needs to be undergone. The process can be seen in the diagram below:-
As for the first step is to understand the Topic Area. This is to focus on the area that we choose to conduct study. For instance, for Educational Research Methodology, perhaps the topic area could be the subject that you are teaching.
Once the topic area has been decided, we move on to the next step, which is to know the Research Problem. This is the step that one needs to measure in understanding the problem that leads us to conduct the research. For instance, to know the motivational factors in language learning.
Purpose statement is the next step. This enables us to help to accomodate the research problem. In this case, perhaps the purpose statement would be factors that affect motivation in language learning.
And the final step is to come out with Research Question. This, leads to the process of conducting the research, in a way to see whether or not the purpose statement is reliable. For example, research questions relating to motivational factors in language learning would be what is the connection of motivation and language learning?
Therefore, these are only some tiny bits that I can share with all of you.
Perhaps if there's anything to add on or to share, pease don't hesitate to do so. :)
Life is always a learning process.
