Right now you should have written down several topics with project ideas and now you are think those through with the research approaches to look at the feasibility of doing them - will you have the resources? is it too big for the limited time frame you have? What have the secondary sources in your literature review been telling you? Next we will go over methods and that might help you further think about designing a project.
I have received a number of emails from people thinking things over as I'm sure others have. However, if there are any questions for this stage you think others would benefit from hearing... please post them on this blog in the comments and I will get back to you.

ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting one...Is this something you have noticed about the actors with whom you work? Where did your inspiration come from? How does it fit in with the work you are doing now?
Start writing out some options about how this broader topic relates to more specific situations - that sometimes helps because at the end of the day, you will need to talk to people, observe or do a survey (or other methods) that is more specific to your situation. Try now looking up some literature sources to see if anyone else has written about the topic. You might even try some personality/psychology sources for that one as well as performance.
Keep writing down things as you develop some strategies - consider the approaches you could use to explore or investigate the topic. Also - how will exploring this topic help you in what you do?
Hope that helps... work through the process and you will come up with some focus points and boundaries.
