The research process

plan data collection and collect the data using one or moreof :sampling ,secondary data  ,observation , semi-structured  and in depth interviews , questionnaires .                                                                                     

                         analyse data (compare ,contrast, evaluate ,criticise ....

write your project report maybe prepare a presentation, depending on your assessment guidelines

                        submit report (and give presentation)

This week I have learned about how to do research five thing.

what is research ? when you have do research, First of all we have to make a planing but very generally it has three steps:

1. e.g. pose a question(pose a core problem within the research content .)
2. collect data to answer the question. (Use your data, information and relevant data to answer questions)
3. present an answer to question .(Show all of your content and data discussed)

Truth ,Power ,Values There three point it is important to consider  . So it is mainly in the following Manifestations. 

• Rigour {Specification and feasibility}
• Reliability{The reliability of sources of information}
• Professionalism{Specialization}
• Honest {Of authenticity}

Choosing topic
ⅰ Select a topic that interests you

ⅱ Read through background information

ⅲ Start making a list of key words

ⅳ Write out your topic as a statement and select the main concepts

ⅴ Start making a list of words to describe your topic

when you to do research Should pay attention question
Regulations and expections

• Topics available
• Word limite
• Format
• font size
• Cover etc

From topic research problem purpose and research questions

• General                  student evaluation

                                     effective use of student
                                     evealuation to improve the class

                                     To study if a student evaluation will
                                     give useful inprove to teachers to
                                     improve their class

• Specific                 Does form "x"for student evaluation

                                     useful information to teachers?                                

MAKE BLOOM'S TAXONOMY YOURS !

Taxonomy  Write word from the list of keywords in each slide of the taxonom composition

there are six major categories,which are listed in order below;

Knowledge Outlines:An outline is a detailed plan of your 

             Comprehension Rewrites: In fact for the rewrites of the problem is that people will usualy encounter when you do research.

           Application Discovers: We can understand the problem to be e.g Where in the course of such inspection, the warehouses discovers anyone-compliance of the goods, it shall timely notify the depositor.

           Analysis Compares: Because the comparison is the best way to analyze things, So that we can understand more clear
 

            Synthesis Reorganizes: To do the research work will be necessary do well reorganizes work. This is the last and most important step.
 

         Evaluation Supports: Technical support can make a more scientific evaluation can do more accurate!

Figure 1: An Example Mind Map

To make notes on a subject using a Mind Map, draw it in the following way:
Write the title of the subject you're exploring in the center of the page, and draw a circle around it. This is shown by the circle marked 1 in Figure 1, above.
As you come across major subdivisions or subheadings of the topic (or important facts that relate to the subject) draw lines out from this circle. Label these lines with these subdivisions or subheadings. These are shown by the lines marked 2 in Figure 1.
As you "burrow" into the subject and uncover another level of information (further subheadings, or individual facts) belonging to the subheadings above, draw these as lines linked to the subheading lines. These are shown by the lines marked 3 in Figure 1.

Finally, for individual facts or ideas, draw lines out from the appropriate heading line and label them. These are shown by the lines marked 4 in Figure 1.

Key points:


Mind Mapping is an extremely effective method of taking notes. Mind Maps show not only facts, but also the overall structure of a subject and the relative importance of individual parts of it. They help you to associate ideas and make connections that you might not otherwise make.

 If you do any form of research or note taking, try experimenting with Mind Maps. You will find them incredibly useful!

How to write a research proposal

Key components are:
• A description of the research problem.


• An argument as to why that problem is important.


• A review of literature relevant to the research problem.


• A description of the proposed research methodology.


• A description of how the research findings will be used and/or disseminated.
 
 
You’re going to need good research skills to deal with all sorts of questions and assignments. These tips are designed to help you develop the research skills you already have and to share some good ideas you might not yet have come across.

All observations have been collected from real people who have experience of research themselves and know the best ways of going about it. The tips come from the same people and should make your research easier and better. And who knows - before long, someone might be asking you for tips too!
There are three screens in this section:

• using books and journals

• using the Internet

• sorting your information

How to Succeed in Postgraduate Study

Abstract :

this paper attempts to raise some issues that are important for postgraduate students to be successful and to get as much out of the process as possible , prescriptive advice --no formulas for finishing a thesis or twelve--step programs for becoming a better supervisor are given --but to raise awareness on both sides of the supervisor -student relationship as to what the expecatisons are shoud be for this realationship ,what a postgraduate student should expect to accomplish,common problems ,and where to go if the supervisor is not forthcoming .
