Types of Research

Hi,

I am Hazila.

And this is my first attempt to write a blog.

Well, the direction of this blog is merely snippets of what I will learn and have learnt in my ED702 class which is Research Methodology.  As this is an educational blog (if I could say it that way), I will try to update on related issue on research matters.

My lecturer, Dr Teoh, who is teaching me Research Methodology this semester

On my first class, I learnt that there are many types of research and each research serves its own purpose.   Therefore, as we start our research, we need to ask ourselves what kind of information that we want to gather.  It is vital to determine the topic area of our research.  Then, narrow down our idea to the research problem.  A good research problem should be specific so that it is more meaningful and manageable.

If you go the library and find yourself staring at the shelves, then most probably your topic is just too broad. Try to do a mind map so that you have a better idea on what to focus on.  In addition,  I learnt that a research question will guide the purpose of our research and each research question will give clear idea of our research.  

Here, I would like to share a website that would be informative on those who want to start a research like me.
