教育学论文选题英语作文Choosing a Topic for an Educational Research Paper。
Educational research papers are an essential part of the academic journey for students pursuing a degree in education. These papers allow students to explore various aspects of education and provide valuable insights into the field. However, choosing a topic for an educational research paper can be a daunting task. In this article, we will discuss some tips on how to choose a topic for an educational research paper.1. Identify your area of interest。
The first step in choosing a topic for an educational research paper is to identify your area of interest. You should choose a topic that you are passionate about andthat you would like to explore in-depth. This will help you stay motivated throughout the research process and produce a high-quality paper.2. Research current educational issues。
CHOOSING A THESIS TOPICA thesis topic must spring from your own energies and interests. The first step toward defining a topic, then, is to determine your primary areas of interest. The role of self-examination in this process is critical.Look over your past work in the Folklore and Mythology program and your special field and attempt to discover a few general areas of interest. What courses have you taken? What have you written about in course papers? Also, think about why you decided to concentrate in Folklore and Mythology. As you consider these and other similar questions, you will begin to discern certain patterns or trends in your work. Contemplation of these issues will allow you to define your general areas of interest.Finding a topic within an area of interest is more difficult. A topic is best formulated as a question. But the questions cannot be too broad, for a topic must have focus. Nor can it be too narrow since the goal of a good thesis is to express thoughts of general importance through detailed analysis of a specific case or cases.Because the purpose of this process is to formulate a focused andthought-provoking question, the best way to uncover topics in your area of interest is to begin posing questions. Start with the issues that stand out in your mind. Also, read some scholarly literature on approaches you might take. If your topic seems too broad, this reading will give you some ideas on approaches you might take. If your question is too narrow, a selection of articles and books can lead you to the general concerns that relate to your interest. And remember, an undergraduate thesis need not be an original “contribution to knowledge.” More important is the sustained examination of a topic that engages you.If you are unsure about the viability of your topic, you might look at past theses in order to find out what types of projects have been the most successful. The best theses of each academic year are submitted to the Harvard University Archive, which is located on the first floor of Pusey Library. A list of selected honors theses from Folklore and Mythology is provided below, and many theses presented to the Committee are to be found in the Folklore and Mythology Library.Examples:Consuming Transformation: Eating, Drinking, and the Otherworld in Celtic and Scandinavian Folklore and Mythology (2004)Entre Rêve et Réalité: Narrative, Craft, and Identity In the Vineyards of the Touraine (2004)The Emperor and Xuanwu: Interactions between a Myth and the Establishment as Found in the Beiyou Ji and other Pre-Qing Sources (2004)Santa Made Me Do It: the Creation of Social and Family Unity Through Christmas Rituals and Values (2004)Sin Acento: Dynamics of Cultural Identity in a Modern Tejano Family (2004)Compassionate Promiscuity: Women, Sex, and Enlightenment in Chinese Buddhist Literature (2003)For Such a Tomb: the Craftsman in Indo-European Myth and Society (2003)Game-Ending Heroics: The role of the athlete in Homeric Greece and Modern Rome (2003)"He Said to You, There Was an Old Man...": Storytelling in the High Atlas Mountains (2003)(Re)presenting a Nation: Sport, Art, Culture, and Chinese Figure Skating (2003)Creating Imitation: An Investigation of the Wiccan Approach to Ritual as a Means of Negotiating Individual and Group Spirituality (2002)Feeling 'Tribal': Western Interpretation of Non-Western Body Art (2002)Folklore and its Relationship to Modern Media: an Examination of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (2002)The Popular Theater of Dario Fo, Modern Day Giullare (2002)The Sword Makes the Man: Weapons and the Construction of Social Identity in Viking Age Scandinavia (2002)Love, Politics, and National Identity: Images of Prince Charles Edward Stuart in a Gaelic and Scots Jacobite Song from the Eighteenth Century (2000) Quest of Kinship: The Family in Filipino Folklore and Immigration (2000)The Blues Queen Mystique: Putting the Classic Blues Onstage (1999) Folklore in the Poetry of Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill (1999)"That’s a basic Chinese immigrant story, you know": Narratives of Immigration and the Construction of Ethnic Identity in the Chinese-Bahamian Community (1999)PAST:‘The Interplay of Trance’ Storytelling and Social Change in the Life Histories of Two Fijian HealersA Discussion of the Fasting and Food Piety of Three Late Medieval Women Mystics: Saint Catherine of Siena, Margery Kempe, and St. Catherine of GenoaA Structural Analysis of Conflict Mediation in Three Types of Tlingit Ceremonial Interactions.A Structural and Historical Analysis of the Legend of the Jewish PopeA Study of King Horn and Havelock the Dane.A Study of Modern Witchcraft and the Influence of the Kabbalah Upon It.
