Brief discussion of the lesson

A research title is a product of real world observations; research title is not like manna that
will fall from heaven, and presto! You have a title!

The title of the research is the research problem or inquiry in capsule form. Great care must
be taken in the formulation of the research title. It must clearly reflect the topic of the investigation.
And it must be original, clear, concise or specific.

The title summarizes the main idea or ideas of your study.

Characteristics of Research Title

1. short, descriptive and to the point

2. identify the main variables of the research
3. attract attention and interest of the reader
4. make academic sense
Example:
A Computer-Aided Seismic Hazard Risk Assessment Tool to Promote Safety in
School Communities
