  1. Identifying Directions for Research Dr. Capo and Mrs. Stacey Allsop, M.L.S., M.I.S.

  2. Searching for Research Possibilities • Begin pulling research articles related to your topic • Pull dissertations • See what has already been done • Look for Gaps

  3. Library Databases Your best source for current peer reviewed research. Learn to utilize the databases effectively Start with the most current research

  4. Searching for Research Possibilities • Search through journal articles or recent dissertations for recommendations for future research • Recommendations are usually found in the discussion or conclusion

  5. Research and Recommendations (Martin, 2014, p. 94)

  6. Possibilities and Replicating Research • You have a different population • You wish to use a different methodology or theoretical framework to learn more about a phenomenon • The researcher(s) state that further research is needed (limited research)

  7. Research Topic Considerations • Must be something you are very interested in researching • Must be highly related to your major • Should be important

  8. More Research considerations • Cost • Uniqueness • Need • Time • Difficulty • Should be feasible • Must be ethical

  9. The Problem Narrow your topic to a Problem Statement! What exactly is the problem? Must not be too broad or too narrow. EX. Students’ attendance rate in X school in a southern state has declined by 20 % since the 2016/2017 school year.

  10. References Martin, B. (2014). Minority STEM students' perceptions of academic advisement and the impact of academic advisement on satisfaction and academic success of minority STEM students at an HBCU in southeastern Louisiana (Order No. 3666736).
