EASY WAY OF FORMULATING THE RESEARCH TITLE (ENGLISH)

Summary

In this video, Dr. Padama presents a step-by-step guide to easily formulate a research title using a developed template. The template breaks down research titles into four key elements: goal, independent variable, dependent variable, and locale of study. By using specific keywords for each element, Dr. Padama demonstrates how to craft a focused and effective research title. The video also emphasizes the importance of defining the variables and selecting the right examples, including a working title for clarity. This resource is designed to help students confidently develop their research titles for academic success.

Takeaways

• 😀 The video discusses an easy method for formulating a research title using a template developed by Dr. Padama.
• 😀 The template for creating a research title is divided into four essential elements: goal of the research, independent variable, dependent variable, and locale of the study.
• 😀 The goal of the research refers to the direction or action the researcher intends to take, such as investigating effects, impacts, or relationships.
• 😀 The independent variable identifies the problem or issue the researcher aims to investigate, such as COVID-19 or online education.
• 😀 The dependent variable represents the variables affected by the independent variable, like students’ academic performance or the area impacted by a problem.
• 😀 The locale of the study refers to the geographical area where the research will take place, like a university, school, or community.
• 😀 A successful research title must combine these four elements into a coherent structure, specifying the goal, focus, affected parties, and locale.
• 😀 Keywords such as 'effects,' 'impact,' 'role,' and 'correlation' are commonly used to express the goal of the research.
• 😀 The video provides examples, including using terms like 'students,' 'academic performance,' and specifying the course or year level of respondents to refine research titles.
• 😀 Dr. Padama emphasizes the importance of including the area of study (e.g., mathematics) and getting consent from institutions if including their names in the research title.
• 😀 The video encourages viewers to subscribe to the channel and shares additional resources to help with research writing from Chapter 1 to Chapter 5 and beyond, including sample defense sessions.

Q & A

What is the purpose of the research title formulation template introduced in the video?

The purpose of the template is to simplify the process of creating a research title by breaking it down into four key elements: the goal of the research, the independent variable, the dependent variable, and the locale of the study.

What are the four key elements involved in formulating a research title using the template?

The four key elements are: the goal of the research, the independent variable, the dependent variable, and the locale of the study.

What does the 'goal of the research' refer to in the context of creating a research title?

The 'goal of the research' refers to the direction or action you want to take in your study. It outlines what you aim to achieve in your research paper.

How does the template help in identifying the independent and dependent variables in a research study?

The template uses keywords like 'focus of your study' for the independent variable (the issue or problem being investigated) and 'affected' for the dependent variable (the outcome or group affected by the issue), helping clarify their roles in the research.

What is the role of the 'locale of the study' in a research title?

The 'locale of the study' refers to the location or area where the research will be conducted, such as a university, high school, or community.

Can the name of the university be included in the research title?

Yes, the name of the university can be included in the title if permission is granted, but it can also be omitted and mentioned later in the research paper's background or respondent section.

What are some common terms used to describe the goal of a research study?

Common terms include 'effects,' 'impact,' 'role,' 'correlation,' and others. These terms are used to describe the type of relationship or influence the study aims to investigate.

How can you make your dependent variable more specific?

To make the dependent variable more specific, you can narrow down the affected group, such as specifying the year level or course of students, and pinpointing a particular area, like academic performance in a specific subject (e.g., mathematics).

What is the importance of using specific respondents and variables in a research title?

Using specific respondents and variables helps make the research title more precise and clear, which enhances the focus of the study and makes it easier to understand the scope and objectives of the research.

What is an example of a complete research title formulated using the template?

An example of a complete research title is: 'The Effect of Blended Learning on the Freshman Students' Academic Performance in Mathematics.' This title includes the goal (effect), independent variable (blended learning), dependent variable (academic performance in mathematics), and the specific respondent (freshman students).
