Being an education expert instead of a teacher is the pursuit of our educators in the new period. In the daily education and teaching work, it is not enough to be satisfied with completing your own teaching work, but also to be a conscientious person, sum up the experience and gains in work in time, and rise to theory. In order to achieve good results, we need to choose our own research direction, which has a problem of choosing research topics. As an ideological and moral teacher, how to choose your own research topic?

Although the research of the subject is not unattainable, we should do what we can, proceed from our own reality and start from the little things around us.

As an individual teacher, it is difficult to engage in the research on big topics. It is easier to produce results and practical value to actively carry out the research on small topics in combination with their own reality, which is conducive to improving their research ability.

Small topic research is not only a comprehensive practical activity, but also a special learning activity. 2009 is the year of improving teachers' quality. As a middle school teacher, it is of great practical significance to actively carry out research on small topics based on the principle of "problem is topic, teaching is research, and growth is achievement" for cultivating our research consciousness and comprehensive ability, promoting professional growth and improving the level of education and teaching.

The so-called small topic is relative to the big topic, which refers to the topic that teachers take the specific problems found in the teaching process as the research object and the solution of the problems as the research goal. Research on small topics belongs to the category of school-based teaching and research. The main purpose of the study is to solve the problems and puzzles in teachers' personal education and teaching, and sum up experience. The characteristics of small items are "small", "close", "real" and "true". "Small" means starting from small things, small phenomena and small problems, and seeing the big things from small ones, which is similar to "cultivating students' ability to ask questions", "research on subject experimental habits" and "research on improving students' participation in classroom teaching"; "Close" means close to teaching, close to reality, not too grand, such as "teaching research on discipline law", "research on the transformation of students with learning difficulties" and "research on improving students' self-diagnosis ability on right and wrong issues"; "Reality" is reality, abandoning the big and empty description and paying more attention to reality, such as "strengthening the research on the guidance of students' problem-solving skills" and "research on exercise teaching". "Truth" means real research, discussion and practice.
