Suggestions on the Selection of Educational Research Projects

【Abstract】The project selection is the beginning of the whole educational and scientific research activities. The choice of project also determines whether the scientific research work can receive external support. If the project selection is appropriate and valuable， it can get support of material， financial and even human resources from educational and scientific research departments. Correct project selection can improve scientific research efficiency.

1. Significance of Research Project Selection

The process of selecting topics is a research process and obviously， this process is not only a process of selecting topics， but also a process of teachers self-improvement. It is helpful for researchers to form long-term research direction. Educators have limited time and energy to engage in educational research and to make achievements in a limited time， they need to determine a main research direction， accumulate knowledge for a long time and form a useful knowledge system. It is not easy to form a topic suitable for personal long-term research. However， once this kind of topic is studied， it will continue to achieve results and form its own systematic views on some educational issues.

2. The Suggestions of Selecting Educational Research Projects

As far as the researchers themselves are concerned， finding and raising a question of scientific significance in their own research field is the result of cognition. Whether the quality problem can be raised is the key to high-quality scientific research. Topic selection determines the value of research and the success of research.

2.1. Doubt Strategy

Doubt is not random， but has a basis. As a basis for doubt， there are two aspects， one is facts and experience， and the other is logic. The facts and experience as the basis of doubt are always inconsistent with or even contrary to the existing conclusions or conventions. Sometimes school education appears very weak in front of them， far from playing a leading role. Logic is an effective tool to test the rationality of theory. Logical scrutiny of theories can start with the scrutiny of concepts， especially the basic concepts of a discipline， and the concepts that are very popular at that time should also be carefully scrutinized.

2.2. Strategies for Changing Thinking Angles

The change of thinking angle is of many types. One is the transformation at the same level， from one aspect of thinking to the other Another type of angle conversion is carried out at two different levels. Some of them have changed from more abstract to more concrete， such as the problems of imparting knowledge and cultivating ability in research and teaching. For quite a long time， they have remained on the discussion of general objectives. People who are good at finding new problems through changing their thinking angles often show qualities such as flexibility and strictness.
