RESEARCH TITLE

AS A BEGINNER IN RESEARCH, IT IS VERY UNUSUAL AT WH-FORMAT IN WORKING RESEARCH TITLE IS USE UNLESS PROVEN AND WOULD BE ANSWERED IN THE
STUDY.
RESEARCH TOPIC – IS SOMETHING THAT START FROM A SITUATION OF NEED, USUALLY CHARACTERIZED BY DIFFICULTIES (ANDRES, 1998)
THE STUDY TO BE FEASIBLE AND POSSIBLE, YOU SHOULD DIVIDE AND FURTHER NARROW DOWN THE TOPIC YOU ARE INTERESTED IN.

FIVE METHODS: CHOOSING YOUR
TOPIC
• 1. Ask yourself important questions - Although you may be limited by specific classroom or work related guidelines, choosing
your topic is the first and most important step in your research paper project. Regardless of whether your topic can be
anything you want or has rigid requirements, it is important to keep a few questions in mind: Is there enough research
available on this topic? Is the topic new and unique enough that I can offer fresh opinions? Is it pertinent to my
class/occupation?
• 2. Pick something you love- Whenever possible, choose a topic that you feel passionate about. Writing about something you
enjoy certainly shows in the final product, making it more likely that you will be successful writing a paper about something
you enjoy.
• 3. Stay original - If you are writing a research paper for a class, consider the other students. Is it likely that they will also be
writing about your topic? How can you keep your paper unique and interesting if everyone is writing about the same thing?
• 4. Get advice - If you are struggling to come up with a topic that feels “just right,” ask your professor or
coworkers/classmates for advice. They will likely have great ideas that, even if they aren’t options for you to choose, can
inspire you with new ideas. Asking a professor for help may seem frightening, but if they are worth anything as a professor,
they want you to be successful with your work, and will do what they can to make that happen.
• 5. Don’t be afraid to change your topic - If you choose a topic, begin researching, and realize that it isn’t the right decision for
you for some reason, don’t fret! Although it requires a bit more time, you have the ability to change your topic even after
you begin researching others.
WHAT RESEARCH TOPIC YOU ARE INTERESTED
IN?
• Broad Topic: Environment Awareness
• Narrower topic: Environmental Awareness of Students
• Narrowest topic: Environmental Awareness of Grade 12 Students of Kalian National School,
Zambaonaga Del Sur
• Broad Topic: Supervisory Management Skills
• Narrower topic: Supervisory Management Skills of school director
• Narrowest topic: Supervisory Management Skills of school director of Kalian National
School, Zambaonaga Del Sur
• From the example above, a general subject was further narrowed down by adding factors
and entities in the studies. Through this, the researcher would not be dallying into a broad
general subject, instead, focus on the more specific and particular area of the study.

RESEARCH PROBLEM
• A research problem is a question that researcher wants to answer or a problem that a
researcher wants to solve Identification & formulation of a research problem is the first
step of the research process. Selection of research problem depends on several factors
such as researcher’s knowledge, skills, interest, expertise, motivation & creativity with
respect to the subject of inquiry. It is believed that most of the good research studies
need lots of time for selection of a research problem
• According to Kerlinger, ‘A problem is an interrogative sentence or statement that asks
what relation exists between two or more variable. The answer to question will provide
what is having sought in the research.  R.S. Woodworth defines problem as ‘a situation
for which we have no ready & successful response by instinct or by previous acquired
habit. We must find out what to do’, i.e. the solution can be found out only after an
investigation.  In other words, ‘a research problem is an area of concern where there is
a gap in the knowledge base needed for professional practices.
IDENTIFICATION OF RESEARCH
PROBLEM
• Identification of a research problem is the first & most
important step in research process.  Generally, a
broad area is selected & then a broad topic is
delimited or narrowed down to a specific onesentence
statement of the problem.  This step of the research
process is considered as the most difficult &
challenging, & need slots of time.  A research
problem may come from several sources:
FORMULATION OF RESEARCH
PROBLEM
• Selection of a research areas
• Formulating final statement of research problem
• Reviewing the literature & theories
• Delimiting the research topic
• Evaluating the research problem
• Formulating final statement of the research
