The Topic: Choosing a Research Topic
The research topic is the issue or problem to be investigated, and it is researched according
to a sequence of steps called research, leading to a solution to the problem.
The research problem, therefore, is the main organizing principle that guides our research
analysis. The essential thing is to establish appropriate rules for writing and the focus that
governs what you want to say. It represents the basic topic of scientific communication and
the means by which scientists reach other topics for conversation and discover new
knowledge and understanding. This is typically found in the social and behavioral sciences.
To solve the research problem, the general framework must first be established, followed by
searching for tools for a deeper understanding, finding and formulating a set of analytical
data, and developing plans and courses of action—that is, organizing.
The beginning is by choosing the research problem, which is certainly not an easy or quick
task.
The topic I chose is school dropout and child labor. It is an important and thorny topic, as
child labor is one of the main obstacles to achieving universal primary education in low-
and middle-income countries. Child labor deprives children of the opportunity to acquire
the skills necessary to develop their potential. This is like a child trying to prepare for an
exam while carrying a heavy backpack filled with anxiety, fears, and distractions, which
affects the desired outcome. Through this study, I will attempt to explore the two-way
relationship between child labor and students' dropout from primary school. Child labor is a
social problem that deprives millions of children of their right to compulsory education and
exposes them to harmful, life-threatening jobs at an early age.
Further review should expand the scope of this study by reviewing studies conducted in
other foreign languages to shed light on the more recent devastating effects of child labor
on primary school enrollment.
Second, the writing stage of strategies for organizing work:
Step 1: Identify the concepts and terms that make up the topic statement.
Step 2: Review relevant literature to help refine your approach to the topic study and find a
way to analyze it. This can be done by reading background information or topic-specific
databases. Study the key conceptual terms you developed in Step 1 and search for relevant
records. Find the most relevant references cited by the authors.
Step 3: Since social science research papers are generally designed to encourage us to
develop our own ideas and arguments, we must seek out sources that can help expand,
