Introduction to
research in education by Ary_Lucy
How
to formulate a research problem are:
a. Decide
on the general problem area
b. Establish
the problem but, rather, to the fact that beginners must select a problem very
early, when their understanding of how to do research is most limited
c. make questionnaire for the problem that research can answer (one
should have knowledge or experience in an area), the question chosen for
investigation should hold deep interest or be one about which the researcher is
really curious
d.
After
having chosen the general area of investigation, the researcher then narrows it
down to a specific statement of the research question
e.
They must
evaluate the significance of the proposed problem in terms of specific criteria
Sources
of problem
The first question most students ask is “How do I find a
research problem? “Although there are no set rules for locating a problem,
certain suggestions can help. Three important sources for research problems are
experience, deductions from theory, and related literature. Non-education
sources may also be useful. These sources are appropriate in both quantitative
and qualitative research.
a.
Experience
b.
Theories
Choosing a Theory
Not all theories are equally useful to a beginning researcher.
Let us examine some of the characteristics one searches for in a good theory
for a research study:
1.
An essential
characteristic of a good theory is that it is testable.
2.
A good
theory is not only testable but also falsifiable
3.
A good
theory deals with some significant phenomenon or behavior that needs
explanation, such as learning or motivation
4.
A good
theory provides the simplest, clearest, and most plausible explanation for the
phenomenon
5.
A good
theory has internal consistency
Related to literature
a.
You may
find a study that needs to be replicated
b.
You may
find a question that represents the next logical step in the research on a
problem
Therefore about a quantitative research question asks about the
relationship between certain variables. The statement of the question should
identify the population of interest and the variables to be investigated. A
qualitative research question indicates the general purpose of the study. The
criteria for evaluating qualitative problems are similar to those used for
quantitative research problems.

Estimating the Effectiveness and
Feasibility of a Game-based Project for Early Foreign Language Learning
Abstract
This paper outlines the rationale for and the purpose of designing
and implementing a project aiming to make very young EFL learners develop their
language skills through their involvement in interactive psychomotoractivities.
The project, which is a part of a broader longitudinal project having
introduced EFL in the firstprimary school grade, was implemented in two 2ndgrade
Greek classrooms with a total of 44 seven year oldchildren. Multisensory
teaching was followed through the use of a combination of activities: classroom
creativeactivities included memory and word games, drawings, constructions,
role-play games, pantomime as well assongs. In the gym, children participated
in physical activities such as races, chases and hopscotch as well asdance and
music activities, with the aim to improve their oral communicative skills and
creativity. In order toexamine the effectiveness and feasibility of the
project, an evaluation study was conducted by using a pre- andpost- language
test and journals kept by the teachers. It was evident that the project had a
positive effect ondeveloping very young learners’ language skills, and on
enhancing their motivation to participate in psychomotoractivities.
