come from simple to

people ask as they go about
8
their daily lives.
PRESENTATION TITLE

For instance, fishermen or

fish growers could have
developed the most effective
way to grow fish because they
9
are exposed to these things.
 EXAMPLES

research topic. 
PRESENTATION TITLE

1.The role of video games in

childhood studying.
2.Group studying versus personalized
approach.
3.Online learning versus classroom
13
instruction.
 3. PERSONAL HOBBIES

SITUATIONS

There are cases

encountered by the
researchers that catch
17
their attention.
PRESENTATION TITLE

These can be a
basis to start some
investigations.
18
PRESENTATION TITLE

From there, they can

formulate questions as to
how this thing became

19 able to do those, etc.
PRESENTATION TITLE

From these
interests,
a broad topic is
