Week 4 (b): Mini Research


(To be continued.......)


Hello! Nice meeting you all again.


Now, moving into our mini research report paper. This is the very first time we've been told to prepare something so serious and formal. Indeed, we need to conduct a mini research and subsequently,  prepare a report based on the analysis of the qualitative data obtained. At first, we had a hard time trying to settle on a research problem.  After much consideration, we decided to report on "The Need of Critical Web-Research Skills in Developing Positive Web-Behaviours". As you all can see, our topic is closely related to the previous assignment. We are trying to highlight the need to apply critical thinking into Web-research skills in order to develop positive Web-behaviours. This is because we've noticed that web behaviours among teacher trainees nowadays are deteriorating day by day. Therefore,  we've decided to put an emphasis on this issue to further educate others on the need of critical thinking skills in ICT.


We need to include the following required details into our mini research.
  1. Title
  2. Abstract
  3. Introduction
  4. Literature Review
  5. Research Approach
  6. Findings 
  7. Discussion
  8. Recommendation and Conclusion
In fact, my pair and I took the initiative to divide the following sub-topics to speed things up a little bit. Truth to be told, we were actually left far behind schedule. However, things seemed to improve significantly during our progress . Slowly by slowly , we're beginning to see an overview of the report we've prepared and it actually motivated us to do our best despite us having little or no prior knowledge of conducting a mini research. Fingers crossed, I hope that this first timer marks a great start for our thesis papers in a near future. My biggest concern in preparing this research paper is that my writing style is not exactly report material. I took the alternative to search and read different examples of report papers for more insights. I believe that with determination and hard work; someday, I'll be able to produce a good quality research paper. 

In fact, my pair and I are relieved and thankful that we are able to complete the report. We were quite worried that as we spent longer time in completing this report paper, we might neglect  other assignments and paperworks. This assignment has taught me a lesson about the importance of proper time management and not to procrastinate  my works as it would eventually take a toll in my academic career.

That's all for this week

Happy exploring! =)
