Reflection On Research Project

Reflecting on Research Project:

What knowledge and skills are you gaining? Which of these are new and which already existed?

Through research project, I have developed my knowledge and attained new skills. Prior to the research project, I had minimal understanding of anxiety, however, after some planning and research development my knowledge had vastly developed throughout research project. Through conducting several research processes, I gained skills and knowledge that I previously did not have. I learnt to effectively manage my time by creating a timeline, which allowed me to keep up to date by breaking down each section of the research project into smaller components that I can complete within a reasonable amount of time. I set myself

By creating these tables I was able to effectively complete my research processes with minimal difficulties. Most of the research processes were conducted as I had initially planned. I began my preliminary research process in order to effectively obtain basic information to build upon my knowledge of the topic, which was initially were limited. I had originally planned to obtain the preliminary information through online articles, however this was quite difficult due to my limited knowledge, therefore I chose to view online videos. This was much more effective than reading online articles. Then I began reading and annotating several online articles to extensively research the topic and expand my knowledge within the fields of mental illnesses. This research process also allowed me to determine whether the information present on the website is credible, reliable and useful. In addition to the online research processes, another research method was utilized to obtain information; this was done through conducting an interview with a psychologist. This process was very successful in allowing me to validate and clarify any questions that I had regarding anxiety. Therefore, by planning the research processes that I would conduct, I was able to successfully to complete all sections of the research project within a reasonable amount of time and with minimal difficulties. Also by planning the processes, I was also able to develop and change my guiding questions whilst developing my research. Hence, my research skills have improved substantially through research
