课程简介

课程名称:如何发展研究/论文主题? 概述:本课程旨在帮助学生解决在进行首次研究时最为关键的难题之一——如何发展一个有效的研究主题。尽管有大量关于“如何进行研究”或“如何撰写论文、学位论文或期刊文章”的资源,但许多学生仍然感到困惑,尤其是在面对紧迫的截止日期时,常常不知该如何产生一个好的研究想法。课程讲师分享了个人的经验,讲述了在有限时间内如何有效管理时间,以获得高质量的研究主题。课程中讨论的主要问题包括:什么是“好”的研究想法,如何发展它;应该阅读哪些材料以及如何辨别相关主题;如何有效阅读和组织文献;何时开始写作,如何进行自由写作;怎样提出研究问题以及好的研究问题的标准等。虽然课程没有详细介绍论文的确切结构,但主要集中在阅读、写作和思考的技巧上,以帮助学生有效管理时间,逐步发展出一个好的研究主题。此外,课程最后简要讨论了文献综述的内容,但强调的是研究想法和问题在其中所占据的地位,而非该章节的详细结构。 本课程适合希望提升研究能力的学生,尤其是那些在研究主题开发过程中面临挑战的人士。

There are many resources on "How to conduct research" or "How to write a dissertation/thesis/journal article", as well as on specific methods of data collection and analysis or the structure of dissertations, doctoral theses and academic articles. But in my academic tutoring experience, I observed that many students are often concerned with yet another aspect of conducting their first research study - how to develop a good research topic? No wonder, having a good research idea is, after all, a prerequisite for conducting a good research study. I developed this course specifically to share my experiences of tackling this, Seemingly simple, task. I know what it's like to have a tight deadline and wonder "how on Earth am I supposed to come up with something good?" I had to write my own Master's dissertation in 4 months while caring for 2 children and working full-time. I managed to write a strong PhD proposal in just 2 days and to complete my PhD degree in just over 3 years. I know how to manage time effectively, and how to make the best of it when it's limited. Now I want to teach you the same.The example questions which I answer in this course are as follows:- What is a "good" research idea and how to develop it?- What to read? How do you know what topics you should start with? What kind of materials to focus on? Which sections of published work should you pay particular attention to?- Where to look? Where can you find the literature that is relevant?- How to read? What reading techniques should you use?- How to organise your reading sources? How to make sure that you are on top of your reading and don't loose these valuable sources and quotations?- When should you start writing?- What to write and when? - What is free writing and how is it going to help you?- Is Thinking just a waste of time, or is it just as important an activity as reading and writing?- How to come up with research questions?- What types of research questions are there?- What is a "good" research question?- How to incorporate your idea and research questions into the Literature Review chapter?What I DO NOT cover in this course is the exact structure of a dissertation. I focus mainly on how to read, how to write and how to think (!) to effectively manage your time and gradually develop a good research idea. The course does conclude with a short discussion of a literature review but its main purpose is to demonstrate the place of your research idea and questions in it, not to go into detail of the structure of this chapter.
