This week, I had a meeting with my professor to discuss my research plan. It was a very helpful session, but I realized that my original idea faced some problems and challenges.
Why I am changing my topic
Through our discussion, I discovered two main problems:
- Difficulty of Proof: It is very hard to scientifically prove exactly how animation changes a child’s brain. This requires a lot of time and medical data.
- Accessing Schools: Contacting kindergartens and schools for surveys is more difficult than I expected. There are many rules about privacy and safety, so it’s hard to get enough data as a student.
The Next Step: A New Topic
Instead of giving up, I have decided to reset my topic. I am now looking for a theme that is more practical and fits my skills as a 3D animator.
I want to focus on something I can analyze myself—like the design, movement, or the “how-to” of making great educational content—rather than just studying the psychology of children.
My Reflection
I realised that my weak point through one on one tutorial today. It is very helpful because I could understand how to go next step and strategy and so on.
I am currently brainstorming new ideas. I’ll share my new research topic with you very soon!
