2. The second step is to ask the tutor with the topic you choose, express your thoughts to him, and ask the tutor for advice. Repeat this until your ideas are consistent with those of your tutor. At this time, you should also pay attention to the fact that the topic you choose is different from others. You have to revise your topic for the same topic. The trick is to add new research, recent research, recent research and other attributes to the topic! ! !
3. After choosing a good topic, it is the expansion direction of multiple-choice questions. At this time, it is to compare the documents you have retrieved and dig out the documents you need for thinking, and which documents are of great use. Organize your own papers and be sure to quote more. Your paper contains a lot of documents, and your writing will be rich!
Postgraduates in major universities will face the topic selection of graduation thesis during their master's degree, and one of the most worrying problems during their study is the topic selection, which is the only way for every graduate student during their study. The general tutor will not teach you how to decide the topic of your thesis, but will give you a general direction, and then the rest will basically depend on yourself. The following will give some general ideas about the topic selection.
First, determine the general direction of graduation thesis.
(1) mainly depends on the scientific research projects in your tutor's hands. Do what the tutor does, which is very helpful for your master's thesis.
(2) When determining the general direction of the topic, pay attention to the general direction of the field that the tutor has done. It is best not to look for areas that the tutor has not touched, otherwise you will have to do a lot of things yourself and take more detours, and you still can't get the guidance of the tutor.
Second, discover innovation and determine the research significance of the topic.
Innovation and research significance are the second considerations. The innovation that others think of and the innovation that you do are of little significance. If you have any objection to what the predecessors have done, if you think it can be greatly improved or different from this point of view, you can also do research, so you should choose the topic according to what value your work brings to your research field.
Therefore, when choosing a topic, we must consider the research significance. The significance of the research can be considered from two aspects:
(1) academic significance
Academic significance is the creation, deepening and development of the existing scientific theories of this discipline. It is mainly manifested in the serious research, logical reasoning and demonstration of researchers, and puts forward constructive suggestions for the development of discipline construction.
Optimize the domain research process, by reducing the production process or optimizing some parameters and variables, greatly improve its cost, output and production links.
Multidisciplinary research has opened up new ideas. Many foreign research projects are interdisciplinary, novel, easy to produce results and academic. Cross-research is easy to have new research ideas, and doing it well is a groundbreaking new direction, which is also a research craze at home and abroad.
(2) Application significance
The application value is also very important, and the purpose of most academic research is to realize its application value. So when we do research, we should try to understand the nature of the problem at the beginning and then solve it. Therefore, try to choose some topics with great practical value for national economic construction.
By analyzing the market, understanding the market and understanding the value behind its research fields, we can screen out those fields with good market scale prospects, mature technology (depending on whether you are doing theory or application), subdivided fields, research status and so on.
Third, make a feasibility analysis.
Feasibility analysis refers to the possibility of your idea and innovation. It can not only help you judge whether the topic is worth doing, but also roughly understand the difficulty of your topic in the later stage, and can also determine whether your career can be successful. When determining the feasibility, we can learn more from the previous generation's existing achievements for analysis.
Through the above steps, the next step is to read a lot of literature, and read the literature purposefully according to your topic, instead of wandering in the literature; Read the topic carefully and read the abstract quickly to determine whether it is relevant and useful to your topic. If so, read the introduction, research ideas and conclusions quickly. After reading it, you can think and summarize it with Word or Excel, which is convenient for later review and research.
Evaluate the selected topic:
(1) Make clear whether the resources for this study are available, such as experimental materials, equipment and instruments.
(2) Whether the tutor is familiar with this field and whether there is any relevant research;
(3) Whether the funds needed to carry out this project are in place.
Fourthly, experimental design.
After preliminarily determining your research direction and topic selection, it is the design of the experimental scheme. At this time, you can find the literature closely related to your research direction, and focus on finding out the research methods of the literature. Usually, there are many research methods in one direction, so it is necessary to compare different research methods and find out overlapping or optimization methods, which is also the core part of experimental design.
When determining the experimental scheme, the following questions can be considered:
(1) What is the problem you want to solve?
(2) What are the main methods to solve related and similar problems by reading the literature?
(3) What assumptions can I make?
(4) How to test my hypothesis?
Verb (abbreviation of verb) abstract
These are all things that need to be paid attention to when choosing a topic. According to this process, the general direction of topic selection can't be wrong. When choosing a topic, you should also pay attention to the following points:
(1) When choosing a topic, it is best to prepare 1~3 topics, and only 1 is likely to be rejected by the tutor;
(2) If you encounter problems when choosing a topic, communicate with your tutor or discuss with fellow seniors;
(3) Don't choose too difficult topics, do what you can, or you may not graduate on time;
(4) Learn to use the relationship network of HowNet to visually analyze and select topics in the research field.
