I. Thematic selection
It is very important to choose a topic for scientific research. How to choose the topic is related to a series of important issues such as whether the research is valuable and whether the research can be carried out smoothly.
(A) How to choose a good topic
A good project should meet the following requirements:
purpose
Scientific research is a purposeful activity, and the topic selection must have a clear purpose. For example, the design of water-saving sanitary ware aims at saving water.
science
Scientific research is an activity to explore the truth. Scientificity requires us to pay attention to scientific value. The so-called scientific value refers to new discoveries and creations in science. It also includes correcting incorrect scientific conclusions and supplementing incomplete conclusions.
innovate
Scientific research is an exploration activity in unknown fields, which is intended for invention, innovation and progress. The selection of scientific research topics should reflect innovation, which can be manifested not only in theory, viewpoint and concept, but also in methods and application fields.
For high school students, when they begin to participate in scientific research, they should not be too demanding, but they must be able to think independently and have independent opinions.
4. Feasibility
Scientific research is a rigorous and realistic activity. The selection of educational research topics must fully consider the subjective and objective conditions and analyze the feasibility of the topics in the actual research process. Subjectively, do you have the knowledge level and research ability needed for research? Objectively speaking, whether there are necessary materials, tools and funds. Specific can be considered from the following aspects:
First, manpower.
(1) research interest;
(2) Basic knowledge;
(3) partners;
(4) Instructing teachers.
Second, material resources.
(1) investigation site;
(2) experimental equipment.
Third, financial resources.
(1) data replication;
(2) research expenses;
(3) transportation costs;
(4) experimental expenses.
Fourth, time.
(1) preview time;
(2) Time of experiment or data collection;
(3) Time for writing the report;
(4) time for reply.
Please see if the following scientific research topics meet the requirements.
On the Double-line Structure of Lu Xun's Novel Medicine
Investigation on the development of animal husbandry in Australia
The Rise and Development of Network Literature
The first topic has been studied by many people. If there is no new understanding and new research angle, it can only be "fried cold rice" and it is difficult to innovate. The second topic is investigation, but it is not feasible, because going abroad for investigation needs more funds. The third topic comes from real life, has a strong sense of the times, is at the intersection of science and technology and literature, is a hot topic, is inconclusive, has research value, and is easy to write papers with their own opinions. Meet the first four requirements.
(B) the source of the topic
First, problems encountered in life or study.
Einstein once said: It is often more important to ask a question than to solve it. Because solving a problem may only be a mathematical or experimental skill, it requires creative imagination to put forward new problems and new possibilities, and to look at old problems from a new angle, which marks the real progress of science.
The second is the unresolved problems raised in the literature.
No matter where the data comes from, you need to analyze and sort out, and choose a topic that suits you for research.
(3) Problems that should be paid attention to
First of all,
Pay attention to the difficulty of the topic should be moderate. It is too difficult for the current ability to complete. The topic is so simple that even primary school students can finish it, and they can't use what they have learned in high school to improve their problem-solving ability.
Second, the size of the topic should be moderate. The topic is too big, often too difficult, and it is impossible to finish it in a short time due to the limitation of time and energy. We can simplify the big topic to the study of one or several of them.
Third, the research of the subject should be concise and clear. Once the research topic is determined, it should be expressed in concise and clear words.
Two. Make a research plan
Making a research plan is an essential link to ensure the timely completion of the project with good quality and quantity. Research plans usually include:
1. Topics
2. Research purpose
3. Research methods
This part mainly reflects how to do the research of a subject. Commonly used methods include observation, investigation, experiment, experience summary and so on.
4. Research steps
Research procedure is the implementation steps and time planning of research. Every step of the research, the tasks and requirements of each stage, and the working time required for each stage should not only be well known, but also be implemented in a written plan.
5. Personnel arrangement
In the research plan, understand the person in charge of the research group, the list of members and the division of labor, so as to enhance the sense of responsibility of the members of the research group and facilitate the implementation of the plan.
6. Form of results
Refers to papers, investigation reports, experimental reports, research reports, or scheme design and finished product production.
7. Budget
8. Equipment conditions
