It's been so long since I last posted here.. and yes, how time flies... we are now 1 class away to end the semester...
So, what's my progress for my research proposal? I have to say that this is not an easy process, unlike those days back in degree programme, we are more exposed towards basic things on research proposal... this time around, here in masters level, it has really open my eyes to really be mindful of the steps to be taken when conducting research.
As a practice, my lecturer has given us a task that requires us to work with a friend.. now, for this task, we are required to look for 10 journals or articles, and we need to discuss on the following items:-
- Types of the Research
- Research Objectives
- Research Questions
- Instruments
- Analysis
- Results.
So, since we are working in pairs.. my partner and I, (Elly) have decided to divide the number of articles to two.. therefore, I need to look for 5 articles, while she will find the other 5 articles.
To complete this task, is not the matter of just read and identify, but I find that to identify the types of research, especially - one needs to really read and go through what the articles are mainly about..
This task is quite challenging, I assumed. However, throughout the session, I learnt that which types of research falls under Qualitative or Quantitative, as well as how to really carry out research questions.
I really hope that I'm a little clearer on things that I need to focus on.
Hereby is a sample of the task that I have completed.
