There are seven steps in educational scientific research: selecting a topic, consulting materials, designing a research plan, collecting and sorting out materials, conducting research, writing a research report and submitting an application for concluding the topic.
Educational scientific research is a creative cognitive activity with educational scientific theory as a weapon, phenomena in the field of education as a phenomenon, and the purpose of exploring educational laws. In short, it is to use educational theory to study educational phenomena, explore unknown new laws and solve new problems and new situations. Educational research covers a wide range, including all macro and micro issues related to education.
The following principles should be followed in the process of topic selection:
The topic should be innovative, innovative, that is, the selected topic has not been raised by others, or new ideas have been put forward on the basis of others' research, which has solved the unresolved aspects and is novel;
The topic should be valuable, that is, the practicality of the topic or its value. If the research of a subject has no practical significance, little positive effect on teaching practice and no promotion value, then it is of little significance to study such a subject. Such as "how to train middle school students to recite texts" and "how to improve students' writing level through format composition practice" are of little research value. Because it is not conducive to the development of students' personality and creative thinking;
It should be possible to choose a topic. Possibility means that all kinds of conditions are possible and available when studying this topic. For example, subjective conditions refer to the knowledge structure, research ability, scientific character, hobbies and dedication that researchers must have; Objective conditions mean that the research subject must have relevant documents, cooperation conditions, environmental conditions, relevant scientific development degree, research funds, etc.
To carry out scientific research on education and teaching, it is necessary to have relevant basic theories on education and teaching, as well as some educational statistics, simple evaluation and data processing methods, otherwise it is difficult to correctly analyze some phenomena in the research process. After choosing a topic, you can state the problem or write a topic report in writing.
