Week 5 & 6

Greetings everyone !

For this week, I finally learn about how to do a literature review from zero. Dr Teoh taught us step by step on how we should do a literature review. 

To be honest, we need to understand the article first. Try and read two to three times, or maybe more. Depending on our understanding. After that, we take out the important points/paragraphs and try to paraphrase it/them. There can be two or more points from one article, or we can combine with other related articles as well. Lastly, we have to arrange all the paraphrases and combine them to become a paragraph. As shown in the pictures below, those are the example that we did together in the class.

To be honest, at that time I feel so sleepy because doing a literature review require us to read and to think more and more. However, I finally know and get to do it because basically this is my first experience as I do not do any kind of research during my degree. 

 So, it is advisable to read more and focus in order for us to do an excellent job writing a literature review. That's all guy, thanks !

Read more, focus, practice.

Greetings everyone ! Based on my first class, I got to learn about Research Methodology and its various concepts and philosophies underlying the academic research in the field of education.  This course is specifically for us, students' to develop our understanding with emphasis to aspects such as the identification of the research problem, formulating research objectives and research questions. It also involves aspects such as research strategies, research design, data collection and data interpretation techniques.  Why we must do a scientific research? Scientific research is another way of obtaining information. It is more accurate and provide reliable knowledge. This type of procedure is public since scientific research uses explicit, codified, and public methods to generate and analyse data whose reliability can therefore be assessed and hence it can be replicated. In order for us to set a tittle for our research, we must have a problem statement. Whenever we have a r

Greeting everyone ! For this week, we learnt about type of research , qualitative and quantitative types of what we can use for our research soon.  Here are the types of research that we can use However, according to Dr Teoh, there are a few types that are very common and not suitable for master level. Therefore, it is not encourageable so try to avoid using that kind of research. On this week as well, we are told to read as much articles as we can (minimum : 10) and fullfill this table : By doing this, I can know what the objectives of the articles that I read. What is/are the research questions in the articles and also what type of instruments that the writer used. It is a good practice actually because the more we read the more we know. And research require a lot of readings ! That's all for this post, thank you !
