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.
Selecting a research topic for dissertations can really trouble students sometimes here a quick and practicable quide
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:

The document provides guidance on selecting a research topic, including brainstorming ideas, choosing a manageable topic, defining the topic as a focused research question, and formulating a thesis statement.
The document discusses important factors to consider when choosing a research topic, including ensuring the topic is interesting, researchable, significant, manageable, and ethical. It emphasizes that a well-defined research topic is the starting point for a successful research project.
The document provides guidance on choosing an effective research topic. It recommends starting with a broad topic of interest and then narrowing it down by using library databases to answer questions about who, what, when, where and why.
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 ...
Identify an area of interest (Personal). Identify an available population and/or setting for study(Practical). (Feasible). Identify a worthwhile research question (Importance).
Download ppt "How to select a research topic" Interesting vs. important A PhD topic should ideally be both Interesting, intellectually challenging, and Important, impactful, making the world better! Hard to achieve both, so which one to choose?
28 Some points about topics for research 1. Topics should not have yes/no or an obvious answers. 2. When choosing a topic, it should not matter to you what you find out – you must be unbiased and not expect a particular finding. 3. Think about what your RESEARCH problem might be.
Once a general topic is selected, the researcher must work to narrow the focus of that topic. A specific, well-defined research topic is essential in progressing through the next two steps: conducting a literature search, and defining a research question and developing a hypothesis.
This document provides guidance on choosing a research topic and writing a research proposal. It discusses criteria for selecting a topic such as interest, relevance, and feasibility. It recommends finding topics by reading recent research papers, articles, and theses to identify limitations and future research opportunities.
This document provides guidance on selecting a research topic. It outlines an ideal research cycle and notes that the process is iterative. Key elements for developing a topic are interest, scope, time constraints, clarity, and following assignment directions.
