Choosing a Research Problem
Sources for the Research Problem
Human resources are another reliable primary source of information in your environment. These human resources include science researchers and scientists who work in different branches of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) and in various universities and colleges. They also include medical and health workers, engineers, and other professionals.
Secondary sources of information such as magazines, pamphlets, periodicals, books, science journals, and research papers can also be used as basis for an investigatory project. Science journals provide interesting topics but may not give complete details of the studies they contain. On the other hand, theses and dissertations are very rich sources because of the details they contain on certain topics and problems. You can go over the recommendations stated in them as a starting point for your search of a research topic or problem. You can also surf the Internet for websites that specifically deal with science investigatory projects to get project ideas.
