Question

You are articulating a project for the first time. What do you think about the process of creating a project so far? Have you found it difficult or appropriately challenging? What are some of the things that you learned about the process and about yourself as a researcher?
If you could go back in time, what are some of the things you know today that you would tell yourself? what are some of the key lessons you learned? Similarly, what have you learned in researching that has made your process easier?

Answer 1

The process of crearting a project is no doubt a challenging task. At the same time it is equally challenging as it involves implementing ideas into reality. It is "appropriately" challenging.

As a researcher, the main characteristic of asuccessful research is patience, consistency and following the steps of a research properly. The research I had taken was a quantitative multistage sampling research on adolescents. I used questionnaires to collect the data. Even though I interacted with the students, I wish there was more time allowed to me to interacted more with the kids.

The most important lesson I have learned as a researcher is that you grow and learn so much more than you expect academically and interpersonally. My research would not have been possible without the recriprocation of the teachers and the students.
