Abstract This article provides an explanation of the process for selecting a research topic. The article uses Kuhn's classic work on scientific revolutions to delineate the steps in developing theoretical research within an area. The paper provides methods for preparing to develop a research topic, steps for approaching a research problem, as well as methods for problem theoretical development.

After reading this chapter, you should be able to answer the following questions: • What are the initial steps for developing an action research project? • How do you generate a topic for action research? • How do you develop a question once you have chosen a topic? • Once you have developed a question, how do you proceed with your action research project? Chapter Aims and Goals The intent of this chapter is to initiate the strategic plan of your action research by identifying a topic of significance and to begin the process of formulating a research question to guide your study. As you proceed through this chapter, you will develop an understanding of • how to begin the action research process, • what makes for a meaningful and productive action research topic, • how to narrow the focus of potential topics, • how to clarify your topic by writing a statement of the problem, • how action research questions are formulated, and • how to evaluate your topic and potential research questions. The challenge of identifying a research topic for your action research project is that there are a multitude of possibilities for you to explore. Most teachers have many questions

The present article concerns two fundamental aspects of research, namely problemposing and sourcing the topic. The former identifies six key areas that the researcher can probe to generate research questions whereas the latter proposes four sources of research topics. The article primarily draws on my experience as a researcher and thesis supervisor of Master's students in English Education. The purposively selected cases are presented to illustrate the sourcing of the topics.

The present volume contains papers that bear mainly on issues concerning the topic concept. This concept is of course very broad and diverse. Also, different views are expressed in this volume. Some authors concentrate on the status of topics and non-topics in so-called topic prominent languages (i.e. Chinese), others focus on the syntactic behavior of topical constituents in specific European languages (German, Greek, Romance languages). The last contribution tries to bring together the concept of discourse topic (a non-syntactic notion) and the concept of sentence topic, i.e. that type of topic that all the preceding papers are concerned with.

S M Mukarram Jahan

A research proposal is a serious statement that addresses a researcher’s intent to conduct a study on a phenomenon and a plan about how to perform the research. Students usually undertake research under the guidance of a supervisor from faculty in tandem with assistance and supervision of other faculty members. Thus, the proposal should be a clear statement of intent that aims at elucidating the plan of research to make it feasible and acceptable for all parties concerned. The most essential characteristic of a research proposal is that it should be sufficient to present the researcher’s idea or question and expected outcomes with clarity and definition (the what). It should also make a case for the reason the researcher’s focus of study is significant and the value that it will bring to the discipline under study (the why).

Your research paper, and the resulting thesis statement, must be an ARGUABLE issue. Be prepared to present the actual findings of your research convincingly even if you discover that your findings differ from your personal opinions. Remember, research is objective and not a " soap box " for personal views. The following topics have been divided by subject:

This paper reports the findings from an action research on effect of teaching how to find research topic to the undergraduate students’ interest and motivation in learning research. The action research employing mixed methods approach was conducted on 95 first year Bachelor of Bhutan and Himalayan Studies (BHS) students taking research methods course at the College of Language and Culture Studies, Royal University of Bhutan. Baseline data were collected using self-developed questionnaire (N=95), focus group interview (N=6) and four experts’ rating on students’ research topics. Intervention strategies to find research topic were adapted from Bui [1] and Lester and Lester Jr.’s [2] framework and implemented to enable students to speculate, frame and evaluate their research topic. After three weeks of intervention, a post-intervention data were collected employing same procedures and tools as the pre-survey data were collected. Further, to validate the findings, researcher added field ...

7 Factors to Consider When Choosing a Research Topic

Choosing a research topic is a crucial decision that you have to make on the road to attaining a degree.

Depending on the type of degree, your teachers may provide recommendations of topics and you select a research topic from that list. Alternatively, you may have to select your own research topic.

I know how tough this decision can be and hence it is the reason why I created a free research topic selection planner to accompany this post with 7 questions along with helpful prompts to move you from research topic selection confusion to clarity. Just fill in the form below and your free planner will be on its way.

Hereunder are 7 factors to consider when choosing a research topic:

The greater your interest in the research area, the more committed and dedicated you will be. Research can be a long journey which requires perseverance and determination. Therefore, to avoid boredom and frustration along the way, select a research area that you are passionate about.

Career Path

Your career path is one of the most important factors to consider when choosing a research topic. A research topic closely linked to your career vision will only add value in the world of work.

One of the main purposes of doing a research is to provide contribution to knowledge and practice. Therefore, it will be beneficial to you if your research aligns with your career vision and career plan .

Completing your research paper is a critical milestone to achieving your dream career. Download the thesis planner below to stay organized and focused as you write.

Usually your college will have a time period by which you are expected to complete your study. This time will usually affect how deep you can explore a particular subject area.

Depending on the subject area you may not be able to explore the topic to the depth that is required by your programme.

Ensure that you have narrowed down your research topic to reflect this. As an example, you can use Geography as a factor to narrow down your study. So instead of your study focus on the State of Texas, you can narrow your study down to focus on Houston, Texas.

Alternatively you can also use time periods to narrow down your research area such as using a year in your research topic. Thus time is a factor to bear in mind when considering a research topic.

Research can be costly as you have to travel to meet with participants and other costs that will come up in order to complete your research.

These may include costs such as proof reading, printing and transcription services. The cost of the research will vary depending on the nature of the topic selected.

As an example, if your research topic compares one factor in country A to country B, you may be required to spend time in both locations. This may translate into airfare, accommodation and various other costs to complete this exercise.

Practical Use of the Data

There are some research topics that may have greater practical application than others. If you want your study to elevate your career, consider choosing an area where your study can make a difference.

The more important your subject area is to policy makers as an example, the greater the contribution of your research.

Avoid selecting a research topic that several other persons have contributed to in your field in your country. If there are several researchers who have completed studies in your field, then your research will be just another paper in the area in your country.

However, if it is new in your country as an example, then your work will get greater exposure. Therefore, get creative in your topic selection.

Ease of Locating Participants

The ease of locating participants in your subject area should be something that you should consider. If your research topic is extremely sensitive, your data collection process could take a considerable period of time.

You may also find that participants are reluctant to participate in your study and hence your search for participants may be longer.

Final Thoughts

Research can be very interesting since you are exploring a research problem that you are passionate about.

According to Neil Armstrong, research is creating new knowledge. Hope these points above help you while choosing a research topic.

Choosing a perfect research topic can be confusing. That is why I have put together a research topic selection planner. This planner contains 7 questions along with prompts to help you decide what research topic is right for you. Just fill in the form below to download.  Thank you in advance for your support as I grow this blog.

Choosing a Research Topic

The topic you choose plays a large role in the outcome of your research project. It is likely that your topic will change several times as you progress through the early stages of research, so don't worry if your first few ideas turn into dead ends. Where are you in the process right now?

Getting ideas for your topic

Understand the assignment.

• Are there assigned topics or do you need to develop your own?
• Has your instructor specified what type or how many sources you need?
• What is the scope of the assignment?

Is it a 5-minute presentation or a 15-page paper? Do you need to find everything about the topic or just enough about one area to explain it to someone else? Asking yourself these kinds of questions can help you determine what types of sources you are looking for.

Do you need recent information? Do you need primary sources ? Do you need data sources?

• When is it due?

If the due date is less than a week away, you’ll need to focus on resources that our library has. If you have more time, you’ll be able to request articles and books through Interlibrary Loan.

A good topic is...

• something you are interested in
• appropriate to the requirements of the assignment
• able to be supported by evidence

Ways to look for ideas when brainstorming a topic:

• look over what you’ve read for the course
• talk to your instructor
• talk to your friends
• pay attention to current events, or browse newspapers and magazines

Start looking for sources

Brainstorm search terms.

Make a list of words that describe your topic. In addition to words for broad concepts (e.g. poverty, feminism) consider brainstorming more specific keywords, such as:

Event: an event within the context of your topic. Time: a particular time period connected to your topic. Person or group: an individual or group identified with the topic or particularly affected by it. Place: a region, city or other geographical unit connected to your topic.

Read over background information on your topic using encyclopedias or a specialized dictionary… or Wikipedia, just don’t end your research there.

Use your list to do a few basic keyword searches in the library catalog and one or two databases relevant to your subject to see if your topic can be supported by the available information. Schedule a library lab or stop by the reference desk to ask a librarian where to start looking.

Narrowing your topic

If you’ve found numerous articles or books that are potentially related to your topic and you can’t decide which ones to focus on, it’s time to narrow your topic. Go back to your list of keywords — is there a particular person, place, time period, or event you could use as the focus of your paper?              

Too broad : postcolonial literature in India             Better : postcolonial aspects of the work of Salman Rushdie             Best : postcolonial dynamics of historical representation in Rushdie's Midnight's Children

Be flexible — it is normal to have your topic change as your research progresses. You can never predict what you’re going to find.

Broaden your topic

Before you give up on a topic that really interests you, it’s worth talking to a librarian or your professor to see if there are potential sources you are overlooking or that are hard to find. Sometimes, though, there's just no reliable data on the topic. You might need to broaden it or take a different angle.

Can you expand the concepts you’d like to study?            

Too narrow: women voting for Ross Perot in Poweshiek county Better: success of third parties among Iowa voters

Can you expand the time period or groups of people that you hope to study?

Too narrow: women in Iowa voting for a third party in the 1992 or 1996 election Better: Iowa voters response to Ross Perot in the 1992 or 1996 election

Turn your topic into a research question

After you’ve conducted background research on your topic, it can be helpful to begin expressing it as a specific question.

Idea = Frank Lloyd Wright or modern architecture

Research Question = How has Frank Lloyd Wright influenced modern architecture?

Focused Research Question = What design principles used by Frank Lloyd Wright are common in contemporary homes?

Tracking Down a Citation

Great! The next step is using the citations from your professor to track down the sources. Where are you in the process right now?   I need to:

To determine if your citations are for books, articles or other types of sources, refer to a chart of example citations or use these tools: 

• locate a book using the library catalog
• otherwise, request the book or article through Interlibrary Loan

Deciphering a citation

Before you can find a cited source, you need to understand what the citation is telling you to look for. Is it a book, chapter of a book, journal article, or another type of source like a dissertation or government document? All reliable citations include the same basic information. Different citation styles arrange it in different orders, but here are the things you should be able to find out about a source from its citation:

• Name of the author or authoring organization
• Title of the article or book chapter
• Title of the book or journal in which an article is published
• Date of publication
• Name of the publisher, either a book press or a journal title
• Page numbers of articles or book chapters

The citation might provide more information than this, such indicating whether a source was found in print or online, but these are the basic facts you'll need to track it down. Citations come in different forms depending on where you find them. This is a sample citation of a book as it is found in the bibliography of an article:

Anderson, Benedict. Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism. Rev. ed. New York: Verso, 1991.

This is a citation for the same book as found in a search in the MLA International  Bibliography:  

Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism.

Benedict Anderson.

New York, NY: Verso, 1991. xv, 224 pp.

Although a database citation looks different from an article citation, it should provide you with the same basic information — and enough information for you to determine what type of source this is.

• Author: Benedict Anderson
• Title: Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism
• Date of publication: 1991
• Publisher: Verso

Type of source: Book

How do you know: Only has one title (no separate title for chapter or article), has no volume or issue number, lists a publisher and place of publication rather than a journal title 

Reference Sources

Before you jump into looking for detailed sources on specific aspects of your topic, it can be very helpful to get a lay of the land by doing some background reading in reference sources. Reading an encyclopedia article or other reference source is a quick way to:

• familiarize yourself with the basics of the topic: concepts, controversies, time, and place
• find the names of people who are associated with the topic
• decode some of the jargon associated with the topic
• possibly find additional sources using the bibliography of an article or chapter

  Here are three ways to find background sources:

• use the library catalog , which you can limit to search only books in the reference collection
• use a the Reference or Background Info section of any library subject guide to find reference sources recommended for your topic
• or choose the best electronic reference sources for your topic from our online guide

And here's just a sampling of our electronic reference sources.

• Encyclopedia Britannica
• Oxford English Dictionary
• Oxford Reference Online
• AccessScience
• Oxford Art Online 
• Oxford Music Online

Problem! • A question raised for inquiry, consideration or solution • A complex unsettled question Source: Webster’s 7th New Collegiate Dictionary

What do we do with Problems? • Ignore them • Talk about them • Try to solve them

What is a Research Problem? • It is a problem that someone would like to investigate. • It is considered a situation that needs to be changed or addressed. • These problems consist of: • Areas of concern • Conditions to be improved • Difficulties to be eliminated • Questions seeking answers

The Research Problem • In educational research, the research problem is typically posed as a question.

Factors to consider in Selecting a Research Problem • The topic should be important (significant) • Writing a thesis or dissertation is an exercise to learn how to conduct research. • However, graduate students can learn the research process on an important topic just as easy as learning the research process on daily topic!

More Factors to Consider… • Consider the feasibility of the project. • How much time do you have available • Do you really want to do a longitudinal study that will take 3 years to complete for a MS thesis? • How difficult is it. Are data available? • How much will it cost?

More Factors… • Make sure the topic is ethical to study.

Factors to Consider in Selecting a Research Problem • You should have a personal interest in the topic. • By the time you are done, you may really be tired of the topic

More Factors to Consider… • The “newness” of the topic may hold you interest longer, however there is some value in repeating previous research

More Factors… • Make sure the research question is clear.

Researchable vs. Non-researchable Questions

Writing Clear Questions • Don’t use words open to interpretation • Humanistic, teacher centered classroom • Be very specific • 4-H agents, not extension agents • It is measurable • End of Course Test Scores, not learning

Defining Terms • There are 3 ways to clarify important terms or meaning in a research question: 1) use of constitutive definition (the dictionary approach) 2) use of proper example(s) 3) use of operational definition (specifying operations used to measure or identify examples of the term) See p. 53, “Key Terms to Define in a Research Study”

How does one find topics to research? • Become a scholar in an area of specialization • Read, listen, discuss and think critically • Follow up on ideas that stem from present research • Explore areas of dissatisfaction

Steps in “Zeroing In” on a Problem • Identify a broad area that interests you • Read the literature • Narrow the area to 2 or 3 topics • Thoroughly examine the literature on the 2-3 topics • Select a single problem from 2-3 topics

Refining the Topic • The topic has to be “sized”! • Generally this means reducing the scope of the topic, occasionally it might be expanded. • Graduate students often select topics that are too broad

I want to research the effect of providing immediate feedback to university students! Way too general and broad!

Refining the Topic • The topic has to be “clarified”! • The topic needs to reworded so that it states clearly and unambiguously • the matter to be investigated, • the variables to be investigated, • and participants, if any, that will be involved.

I want to research the impact of providing immediate feedback via e-Instruction responders in AEE graduate classes! Much Better!

Refining the Topic • A series of research questions or one or more hypotheses, or both, should be stated. • Such questions and hypotheses orient the study, add cohesiveness, and are essential in helping solve the problem.

Does the use of e-Information responders to provide immediate feedback to graduate students in AEE classes: • Increase student learning? • Improve student evaluations of classes?

It is hypothesized that: • Graduate students in AEE classes who use the e-Instruction responders will score higher on mid-term and final exams than graduate students in AEE classes who do not use the e-Instruction responders.

It is further hypothesized that: • Graduate AEE classes in which e-Instruction responders are used will have higher course evaluations than will graduate AEE classes in which the e-Instruction responders were not used.
