HOW TO FIND A INNOVATIVE RESARCH IDEA?
READING………
READING………
Observation………
WHAT TOPIC OF RESEARCH I SHOULD CHOSE…
■ The subject in which I have good CGPA
■ This topic/area of research is in demand
■ I am good in numerical
■ I have good qualities of marketing/sales
■ I can judge people
■ My brother recommended me
■ My friend is doing this…………….
■ It is easy…………..
■ This teacher is easy going………….

TYPES OF TOPICS
■ General Topics
( Job Stress, Personality, Learning, Motivation)
■ Topics About Groups
(Preschool Children, Cats, Grandmothers , Police Officers)
■ Topics About A Particular Behavior
(Bullying , Anxiety, Overeating)
IDEA GENERATION (APPROACHES)
■Theoretical
■Industrial
■ What I Think………….
Six Sources of Research Topics
1. Personal interest (your favorite course, subject, topic)
Using computers in teaching
2. Information/observation (any behavior that arouses your curiosity)
Lack of black women in science majors
3. Practical problems (problems in your class, school, job)
Six students failed in my last semester’s course
4. Pop ups -fleeting thoughts (falling apples)
5. Readings (books, magazines, web sites, even cartoons, advertisements)
6. Theories (theories that predict a behavior- opposing theories for the same behavior)
General & Multiple Intelligence theories, Learning Styles
CONSIDER THIS ILLUSTRATION
EXAMPLE
■ For example, instead of writing a
“History of Pakistan Banking Industry”.
■ Narrow the topic to:
"The effect of the Asian financial crisis of the late 1990s
on Banking industry of Pakistan."
Differences among the Topic, Problem, Purpose, and
Questions

Question
Distance learning
Lack of students in distance
classes
To study why students do not
attend distance education classes at
a community college
Does the use of interactive web
pages help to increase students’
enrollment in distance education
classes?
LITERATURE REVIEW
■ What is literature?
■ Why to review literature?
■ Sources of literature
■ Which literature I should read
■ How to read a paper?
■ How to record literature?
THE PURPOSE OF A LITERATURE REVIEW
Each research study is part of an existing body of
knowledge, Your study should be a logical extension
of past research
For Example
TIPS ON LITERATURE REVIEW
■ The purpose of literature review is to provide the elements needed
for directing (not just to justify) your own research study.
■ Literature review should help the reader to predict the purpose of
your research before you say it.
MISMATCH OF STUDY GOALS AND LITERATURE
REVIEW
Goal= study the effect of internet on aggressive behavior
Literature= teenagers and their social issues
or
the advancement of technology
or
gender gap
or
racial differences.
WORST SCENARIO
■ Making a list of unrelated or related but fragmented research articles.
■ Jackson (2007) said…..
■ Betty (2009) said….
■ Thomas (1998) conducted a study about….
LITERATURE MAP
■ You may use a literature map before start writing your
literature review.
■ A map helps the researcher to convey the knowledge
logically and effectively to readers.
■ Google Scholar A/c can support on it

Need for Further Study:
Non-English Speaking Cultures
Question: Do short-term study
abroad programs in non-English
speaking cultures help create
cultural responsiveness in
preservice teachers?
