Six steps to help you select your research topicSets India
Are you one of the rare souls interested in research? Do you like the idea of planning an entire study and then sharing your findings with the whole world? Well, if you are a researcher, then you must know that planning and executing a study is not child’s play.
And the first and most time-consuming step of conducting research is selecting a research topic. Without a research question to answer, there will be no research, but finding a research question that you and a larger population would want an answer to is by far the most taxing task a researcher might come across.
Educators and Learners: this is a graphic representation of the overall understanding of a new concept (critical thinking) based on in-class readings, library research and group discussion created by 17 students in an adult ESL class during a project-based learning (PBL) task in April, 2015. (RDCZP)
A talk to beginning graduate students. Why do you study? Role of research? What do graduate degrees signify? And a Magic Spell to help with (almost) everything...
This is Part 1, Part 2 discusses Science and how to do it.

Making your research and teaching more efficient, transparent and impactfulJay Van Bavel
Science is hard and keeping up with the latest changes in technology and research practices can feel overwhelming. This workshop is designed to increase your productivity by making your research and teaching more efficient, transparent, and impactful. This will introduce you to a wide variety of strategies and technologies that you can employ in your work.
Any question that we want answered and any assumption or assertion that we want to challenge or investigate can become a research problem or a research topic for our study

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Research Projects
• In academic research, students are expected to
build on existing research and replicate, apply or
extend that research
• Research requires critical analysis of the
relevant literature, especially that describing
similar or closely related research
• Requires knowledge of the ‘Problem Domain’
4. www.lincoln.ac.uk
First Steps to good research
• Scoping a research project
– Identify the problem domain
– Assess your position within it
– Identify the resources available to you
– Be clear about your interests
• Research projects are typically time
constrained and consequently cannot
involve open-ended exploratory research
• You need to know when to stop!
5. www.lincoln.ac.uk
Your position within the
research
• You are (probably) already experts in your
field
• What are the implications of this on your
research question(s)?
• What are the implications of this on your
research methods?
• To what extent can bias be minimised?
6. www.lincoln.ac.uk
Application of Bias
• Yes Prime Minister
• Written by Antony Jay and Jonathan Lynn
• This episode first transmitted January 9th
1986
• A questionnaire about conscription and
national service
7. www.lincoln.ac.uk
Criticality
• In order to be critical you do not
necessarily need to disagree
• You need to be thinking critically
– What?
– How?
– When?
– But perhaps most importantly - Why?
8. www.lincoln.ac.uk
A general rule set for critical
writing - 1
• What is the focus of my paper?
– What are the current issues in the field?
– What are the questions that need addressing?
– Is there a perceived problem?
– Have recent changes impacted upon the
problem domain?
– Is there general consensus?
– Would ‘Blue Sky Thinking’ help?
9. www.lincoln.ac.uk
A general rule set for critical
writing - 2
• What is my position?
– Do I concur with the general consensus?
– If so what am I bringing to the debate?
– If not how can I convince people that my
opinion is worth promoting?
– How do I remove my (natural and expected)
bias?
10. www.lincoln.ac.uk
A general rule set for critical
writing - 3
• How do I present my point of view?
– Criticality demands that you try to persuade
others that your opinion is worth considering
– Reasoning is the key aspect here
– Well informed readers will spot flaws in your
reasoning therefore discussions need to be
balanced
– ‘Have an argument with yourself’
– Avoid “I think” (avoid first person at all times)
11. www.lincoln.ac.uk
A general rule set for critical
writing - 4
• What evidence can I provide?
– Research reputable sources
– Consider the validity / currency dichotomy
when conducting research
– Good critical writing requires even better
critical reading
– Often useful to question the methods of the
people you read – look for strengths and
weaknesses
12. www.lincoln.ac.uk
A general rule set for critical
writing - 5
• Write balanced conclusions
– Conclusions should be representative of the
research you have presented
– They should also be tempered by the
limitations of the methods you adopted – ‘why
might my findings be flawed?’
– Conclusions might not be conclusive – open
ended findings are fine but remember to offer
suggestions for further research
13. www.lincoln.ac.uk
A general rule set for critical
writing - 6
• Structure is all
• Identify the research question (Literature Review)
• Consider the methods to give a ‘best fit’
(Methodology)
• Present evidence to support / refute your position
(Findings)
• Summarise your argument (Conclusions)
• Acknowledge your limitations (Reflection)
• At all stages question ‘Why’?
14. www.lincoln.ac.uk
General problems with research
• Mismatch between question and method
• Findings not supportive of method
• Conclusions out of line with discussions
• Research too limited (missing out key
research)
• Findings not timely enough (the problem
domain has moved on)
• Overriding all this is normally Ethics
