PRACTICE ACTIVITIES
FORMULATING A SUBJECT FOR RESEARCH
The term ‘topic’ in this textbook is only a starting place because it describes a broad and general area of knowledge,
not the actual subject you will investigate; there is still more narrowing to do before you find that specific subject. If you
have trouble in narrowing a topic to workable proportions, you should try one of the three methods: subdividing, free as-
sociation and the five Ws.
SUBDIVIDING
One way to narrow a topic is to write down the general area you have selected and then divide it into progressively
smaller units, subdividing it until you reach a subject you are interested in researching.
Example:
home computers
production R&D marketing uses
hazards changes sales program
resulting methods documentation
Obviously, each of the four areas resulted from the first subdivision is far too broad to work with. As a result of a
second-level subdivision the following topics were produced: “Changes in Home Computers Resulting from Research
and Development”, “How Home Computers Are Marketed”, “Program Documentation Provided with Home Com-
puters” . They are also too general. However, “Production Hazards in the Manufacture of Home Computers” is narrow
enough to serve as the basis for a research project.
13. The “uses” item in the first subdivision of home computers is also far too general. Think of further sub-
divisions which could result in a suitable subject for research.
Uses of home computers
education communication games
