Research Topic Research
o General idea issue or Question
problem being o A specific question
considered for intended to be
investigation. answered through
research.
o Usually developed
from the research
topic.
Sources of Research Topics
1. Personal Sources
 Personal experience
 Influenced by the individuals’ perspectives,
inclinations and values.
Sources of Research Topics
1. Personal Sources
 Example: If you spend long hours driving
through heavy traffic everyday, you might
be inclined to do research on the actual
and potential impacts of different traffic
reduction schemes.
 Through this, you may choose to explore
the effects of number coding, reducing the
nuber of buses, phasing out of jeepneys
