My 1st EDU702 Class

Oh before that... I'm actually a 2nd intake student, so I kind of being left off  behind a bit. So during my 1st class with Dr. Teoh, I was asked to submit Task 1...which was stating our topic area (TA), problem statement or research problem (RP), research objectives (RO) and research questions (RQ). Basically in choosing the topic area, I need to go through a brainstorming session in order to select a topic and to narrow it down and narrow it down further. After all it's very good to be more and more specific so that our research could benefit certain particular people or group who are going through the same situation. We need to state our research problem so that we could introduce the reader to the importance of the topic being studied, places the problem into a particular context that defines the parameters of what exactly are the areas to be investigated and also to provide framework in order to report the result.

After I'm done selecting my TA and RP, need to list down my RO. Before I do this, i need to ask myself three questions; what is the purpose of the research, what information is being sought and how will be the information be used.  Once I'm done listing down my RO, than my RQ would be pretty much the same with RO, it's just that the sentences would be in question statement. To be continued.

Oh by the way, we were introduced to LIRAS today. LIRAS is basically a software stands for Literature Review Analysis System. It's quite a cool software as it helps to categorize the literature review according to its main subjects. But I guess I need more practice with it. Will try out more again soon!
