Belhaven University Conducting a Research Discussion

Prompt: The selection of a topic that addresses the “Gap” in the Literature requires research in its own right. Before you can settle on a topic for your study, you must understand what has already been researched in the field and determine what still needs to be understood. You may have already settled on a topic OR you may still be thinking about a topic. In either case, it helps to visualize your topic discovery. Using the Funnel of Topic Discovery PowerPoint Template, fill in the sections at each level. Articulate the “gap” or topic and why it needs to be studied.
