Document Summary
Direct observation: question what you usually take for granted. *direct observation things you see in environment, things other people do, or what you wonder about. Things that seem to be pretty ordinary look at these kind of things more carefully. People who cover up their pin number, some don"t cover, some don"t care things we take for granted- make this a research question if we wanted to. Blogs are good to get ideas because you might start wondering about what these people blog and wonder about. Anything that makes you wonder you can turn that into a research idea. Ex: absence makes the heart grow fonder; out of sight, out of mind. Ex. what goes around comes around hard to test. Find something you can turn into a research question. Cartoons are another way of getting initial ideas. Most common way that people get research ideas is by extending previous research.
