    Inquiries, Investigations and Immersion

    Brainstorming for Research Topics

    You have learned the step-by-step procedure in writing a qualitative and quantitative
    research in your previous subjects – Practical Research 1 and 2, respectively. As a culminating
    activity, Inquiries, Investigations and Immersion is designed to heighten your critical thinking
    and problem-solving skills through conducting another meaningful study

    One of the most important considerations for every research is selecting a research
    topic. A research topic serves as the basis of each research undertaking. It directs how the
    research will be carried out. A good researcher must carefully choose a topic that is doable and
    significant to a certain discipline or field. Many researchers find selecting a research topic a
    difficult task. Some do it through brainstorming or by observing their surroundings.

    A common challenge when beginning to write a research paper is determining how to


    narrow down your topic. To assist you in the selection process, here are some guidelines given
    by Baraceros (2016:38-39):
    1. INTEREST IN THE SUBJECT MATTER Being interested in a topic is usually due to the richness
    of your stock knowledge about it or because of its familiarity to you. Curiosity about an
    issue/topic is one of the factors that motivate a person to unravel the unknown in a topic. Thus,
    the researcher’s interest increases the possibility of the success of the study.

    2. RICHNESS OF AVAILABLE SOURCES OR SUPPORTING EVIDENCES One of the things that you
    should do is to collect a lot of information on your topic of interest. This enables you to find
    evidences that would support your topic. You must ensure that your sources come from a wide
    variety of literature such as books, journal, periodicals, online articles, etc. Hence, going to the
    library and surfing the internet are some of the activities that you should do as a researcher.

    3. TIMELINESS AND RELEVANCE OF THE TOPIC Your topic should be relevant and timely. A topic
    is relevant if it serves as an instrument in improving the society or if it answers or solves current
    issues which are some of the reasons why research is conducted

    4. LIMITATIONS OF THE SUBJECT Aside from your interest, you must also consider the
    significance of the topic in your track and strand. Remember that research is conducted to
    contribute something valuable to a particular area or discipline.

    5. PERSONAL RESOURCES Prior to finalizing your chosen topic, you must assess your research
    abilities as a student. You may do so by taking your financial capability, health condition,
    personal qualifications and trainings as a researcher, needed facilities and time allotment into
    account. It is important that all of these aspects are considered in order for you to guarantee
    the accomplishment of your research.
    Now that you have learned the considerations in formulating a research problem, here are the
    steps that will guide you trim down your area of interest.
    1. Focus on your track, strand or area of specialization.
    • For example: HUMSS

    2. Recall the specific area, lesson or issue in your respective field or strand that has piqued or
    aroused your interest the most
    • Public Speaking

    3. Generate an unanswered question or an unresolved problem from your chosen area or


    lesson.
    • Why do people feel anxious when speaking in public?

    4. Assess the question or problem based on the five guidelines stated above.
    • I'm interested in the topic.
    • There are available sources of data.
    • It is timely and relevant.
    • It will contribute to my strand.
    • It is doable considering my personal resources.

    5. Write your research problem


    • Factors Affecting the Speaking Anxiety of Students

    When formulating an effective research title, take the following guidelines into consideration:
    1. Indicate accurately the subject and scope of the study.
    2. The title must be limited to 10 to 15 substantive words. Conjunctions (and, but,
    because), prepositions (in, on, at) and articles (the, a, an) are not counted.
    3. Do not include analysis of, study of, an investigation of and the like.
    4. The title must be in the phrase form.
    5. Avoid title that gives too much information
