The subject-matter of this course is research, specifically, in the context of computing. We will address questions such as, “what is research?”, “why must we conduct research in computing?”, “How are research in computing conducted”, “what are the instrument of computing research?”, “What is the most effective means of communicating research experiences”, and more importantly, “what is/are the fundamental principle of best practices in computing research?”
These topics will be demonstrated with examples that give expression to how to identify a researchable problem, craft the research topic, aim, objective and methodology. The conduct of literature review, generation of valid evidence in the form of data as well as determining the appropriate theoretical foundation for the formulation and explanation of research findings and outcome will be discussed.
