The topic of the objective of this evening was: to identify the principle components of research, to relate these components to group project. Tonight Dr. Williams did not lecture us, instead she went over the 6 Basic Components of Research. Having these simple components and applying them towards our project will definitely keep our group on the correct page.
1) Statement of the Problem
Includes considering the purpose, advancing knowledge and solving the problem. In this first Component we must have the "reason" for our research. Once there is a reason then you have to decide if the reason is specific enough to even do any further research.
2)Current State of Research
In this stage Dr. Williams says that we should state what research has already been told on our topic, and also what will be revealing ? Will it be something that no one has ever heard of? One main of the main things I took from the second component was that "research tells us something about a subject"
3)Methodology
4)Framework
How will the group present the subject?
5)Development of Thesis
This component contains the convincing details of the group topic
6)Conclusions
What new insights have we explored?
All together these components are the guidelines that we will NEED for our final project.
