NARROW THE TOPIC OF YOUR STUDY
  • DECIDE ON ONE TOPIC
  • TALK IT OVER WITH OTHERS
  • TAKE YOUR TIME CONSIDERING OPTIONS
Once you have carefully thought about your choices, decide WHICH PART OF YOUR TOPIC interests you most. TALK IT OVER WITH OTHER PEOPLE, such as other instructors, your family, your friends, or mentors such as cooperating teachers.
  • Develop an idea for a study in which you have real interest
  • Something you think you can actually accomplish

A topic idea that interests you will most likely lead you to a successful completion of your study and achievement in the end.
