Takeaways
- 😀 Chapter 1 should focus on the research problem and its urgency, not general background information like definitions. The background can be addressed in later chapters.
- 😀 It's important to ensure that the phenomena you're researching are relevant and can become a valid research problem, not just an isolated incident.
- 😀 Personal opinions, assumptions, or anecdotes (such as those from family or neighbors) should not be included in the research. The focus must be on data and facts.
- 😀 Research must remain objective and avoid bias. Personal views on sensitive topics like LGBT or terrorism should not be part of the research narrative.
- 😀 Avoid using informal or subjective language in Chapter 1. Words like 'should' or slang should be avoided to maintain the academic tone.
- 😀 To formulate a strong research problem, it’s necessary to conduct preliminary studies and consult with lecturers or peers before diving into Chapter 1.
- 😀 A common mistake is focusing too much on the research title without fully developing the content of Chapter 1. It’s important to have a clear focus before starting.
- 😀 The theme, title, background, research problem formulation, and research objectives should align. Avoid contradictions in these sections to ensure clarity and focus.
- 😀 When researching a topic, like the deradicalization of terrorists, make sure the background, objectives, and problem statement all align with the study's focus.
- 😀 Always ensure that the research focus is narrow and well-defined. Avoid discussing broad concepts that aren't directly related to your specific research objective.
Q & A
What is the main mistake students make when writing Chapter 1 of their thesis?
-One of the main mistakes students make is that the discussion in Chapter 1 is too broad and wide. For example, starting with general definitions, like the definition of autism, when the focus should be on the urgency and gap in the research.
How can students avoid making the mistake of focusing on a broad discussion?
-Students should focus on the research's urgency and why it is necessary to conduct the study. They should avoid discussing broad definitions in Chapter 1, and instead focus on the specific problem the research aims to address.
Why is it important to update your knowledge of current events and research?
-It is crucial to stay updated on current events and research to avoid conducting research on outdated or irrelevant phenomena. This helps students identify real issues that can become valid research problems.
What is the difference between a phenomenon and a research problem?
-A phenomenon is an observable event, but not all phenomena can be turned into a research problem. For example, a truck accident near your house might be a phenomenon, but it is not necessarily a research problem unless it affects a broader context.
What is one example of a phenomenon that is not a research problem?
-An example given in the transcript is a truck falling on the road in front of someone's house. While it is a phenomenon, it does not qualify as a research problem unless it involves a broader social impact.
What should be avoided when writing Chapter 1 in terms of personal opinions?
-Personal opinions or data, such as anecdotes about friends, family, or personal experiences, should be avoided. The research must be based on objective data and factual references from reputable sources.
Why is it important to avoid expressing personal prejudices in research?
-It is important to present objective data and facts without personal biases or prejudices. Research must remain neutral, especially when discussing sensitive topics like LGBT issues or controversial social subjects, and it must rely on facts rather than subjective opinions.
What is the issue with focusing too much on the title of the research?
-Focusing too much on the title can cause delays in completing Chapter 1. Instead, students should engage in preliminary studies, consult with peers, and discuss their research topic with their lecturers before finalizing the title.
How should students approach discussing their research with lecturers?
-Students should informally discuss their research with their lecturers, sharing observations from the field. The lecturer's role is to guide the student toward refining their research focus based on real-world data and insights.
What is an example of a non-linear relationship between the title, background, and problem formulation?
-An example would be if a researcher's title focuses on the process of deradicalizing terrorists, but the background discusses why individuals join terrorist groups. This would be contradictory, as the focus should align with the research's objectives and not deviate into unrelated topics.
