45 minutes
You have learned from the previous lessons about qualitative research,
how does it differ from quantitative research, its characteristics, strengths,
weaknesses and kinds and also the importance of qualitative research across
fields. In this lesson, you will learn about designing research projects related to
daily life, writing research titles and providing justifications for conducting
research.
Research is not just a valuable tool in building a crucial knowledge, but
it is also the most reliable way to understand the complexities of various issues
in our everyday living. Designing a research project is just like making a
blueprint of our dream houses. It always starts with the essential questions that
will be resulted to a better plan.
Choosing and Developing a Research Topic
The ability to develop a good research topic is an important skill. An
instructor may assign you a specific topic, but most often instructors require
you to select your own topic of interest. When deciding on a topic, there are
a few things that you will need to do:
• brainstorm for ideas;
• choose a topic that will enable you to read and understand the
literature;
• ensure that the topic is manageable and the material is available;
• make a list of key words;
• be flexible;
• define your topic as a focused research question;
• research and read more about your topic; and
• formulate a research statement.
Be aware that selecting a good topic may not be easy. It must be
narrow and focused enough to be interesting, yet broad enough to find
adequate information. Before selecting your topic, make sure you know what
your final project should look like. Each class or instructor will likely require a
different format or style of research project.

Effective Research Title
Writing a research title may seem a simple task, but it requires some
serious thought. It might come as a surprise to most people that an author,
having successfully written a detailed account of his/her research study,
experiences a block while attempting to title the research paper. However,
most authors, by virtue of possessing comprehensive details of the research
paper, are perplexed with regard how to make their research paper title
concise without sacrificing any relevant elements.
Abueg (2020) stated that research title is similar to road sign in research.
He expressed that the title is a tool which guides the researcher in focusing
their inquiry. In addition, it provides opportunity to convey the central idea
behind one’s own research.
