(1) First of all, we should choose a good topic.

Einstein said, "It is more important to ask a question than to solve it". The choice of educational research topics is very important. When the topic is selected, it should be said that research is possible.

The topic should reflect the breadth and depth of existing theory and practice, as well as the breadth and depth of scientific research prospects, which requires creativity and imagination.

1. Where did the question come from?

In the past, subjects were mostly arranged from top to bottom, often large and empty; I prefer to choose the topic from my own side and from the confusion of education and teaching practice. For example, the cultivation of primary school students' study habits; Cultivation of primary school students' oral English ability.

2. Basic principles of topic selection

(1) Forward-looking principle: new ideas-new objects, new perspectives. For example, the study on the relationship between primary school students' copying problems and the correct rate of solving problems. The perspective of this topic is relatively novel.

(2) Scientific principle: The research on improving students' self-care ability by using Qigong is not scientific.

(3) Feasibility principle: it conforms to subjective and objective conditions and has the possibility of realization. For example, is it feasible to develop the potential of the brain? Obviously not suitable for front-line teachers to learn.

(4) Value principle: Look at its theoretical value and application value.

1. Theoretical value (academic value): refers to the role of disciplines in testing, revising, developing educational theories and establishing a theoretical system of science education.

Second, the application value: refers to the selected research topics and their achievements can be directly applied to teaching practice, which has the significance of guiding teaching practice. For example, the experiment and research of school-based teaching and research management mode under the background of new curriculum.

(5) The principle of clarity: the topic selection is required to accurately reflect the connotation and extension of each research element, and the expression is accurate.

(6) Ethical principles: Abide by ethical and legal norms.

3. Matters needing attention in topic selection

(1) Proceed from reality, learn from practice and learn from practice.

(2) Don't be greedy for perfection. For example, the study of primary school students' learning psychology is a bit big. If it is changed to study the characteristics of primary school students learning mathematical concepts, it is more suitable for front-line teachers.

(3) Pay attention to peacetime accumulation and start from a young age: first of all, we must have a sense of problems. To be a conscientious person in education and teaching, you should always observe everywhere and ask more questions in your work. He is good at finding problems in his work and summing up his own teaching experience. If some students don't like to raise their hands to speak, you can ask a question: "Why don't students like to raise their hands to speak?" We can think like this: Is it just his intelligence? Is it just her personality? Is there any psychological influence? Wait a minute. If you talk to students, investigate and do some case studies from the perspective of scientific research, you will find that there are various reasons why students don't raise their hands to speak in class. We can further reflect: children are naturally curious, full of curiosity about the world and full of question marks. But why don't they want to ask in class? Why choose silence in class? This is a bit of a problem. Therefore, we can determine a topic: "Research on students' participation consciousness in class".

(4) What suits you is the best.

As we all know, in the past two years, many schools have carried out research on educational narrative and put forward the problem of returning to experience summary. Teachers record the new problems found in the teaching process, inspire new ideas and new ideas, and explain new ideas by telling their own curriculum stories and cases. Real-time reflection is a summary of experience, and sublimation is a research topic. Observing the relevant research in primary and secondary schools, what really resonates are the cases of expert teachers with both practical experience and theoretical height, and the deeper the research, the more so! Because this is what teachers can really imitate and really benefit. Most educators who have made achievements in the former Soviet Union have such a background. Professor He Kekang once said: Real educators are in primary and secondary schools, not in colleges and universities. This sentence is really meaningful.

(2) Where should we start?

1, choose the frontier subject of education and scientific research

People don't have me, people have me, people are new and special, and people are special and fast, so as to achieve the unity of characteristic innovation. Take the teaching demand as the first choice, find the intersection and combination point between disciplines, and work hard and make a fuss about hot issues. For example, the relationship between teachers' teaching behavior and students' learning style.

2. Choose the applied research topic.

Relative to the basic research of applied research. Basic research is characterized by abstractness and generality, which mainly increases the organizational system of scientific knowledge and does not necessarily produce direct practical value results. The characteristics of applied research are concreteness and particularity, mainly to solve direct practical problems, and the purpose of increasing scientific knowledge is secondary. Generally, typical educational practice experience is chosen as the topic, and problems and solutions are put forward for common educational phenomena. Such as the comparative study of open education and general education, the collection and arrangement of modern Chinese online teaching resources, etc. Front-line teachers should focus on applied research. This is because the school is the core of educational practice, and it always produces problems that need to be solved urgently. At the same time, the results of applied research are practical and operable, which can be popularized and effectively used by more teachers.

3. Choose subjects with mature subjective conditions.

Do your best. Starting from professional expertise, hobbies and research ability, choose topics with deep experience, many practices and thorough research. Such as how to create a harmonious classroom teaching atmosphere.

4. Choose subjects with good objective conditions.

Theoretical conditions, data, information equipment, tools, atmosphere and environment

5. Choose appropriate meso-and micro-themes

Usually, the narrower the topic, the smaller the topic, and the easier it is to explain the problem thoroughly; The wider the topic, the less clear the example, the less clear the truth, and it is difficult to make a good work without depth. The topic is relatively small, the style is relatively new, and the discussion is more thorough. The research on teaching materials, teaching methods and teaching objects can be deepened. For example, experiments and research on cultivating students' participation consciousness in classroom teaching.

(3) Make a good plan

Detailed project plan is the guarantee of successful project research. More than once, I have heard experts in scientific research say: project plan.
