# Metode Penelitian Hidrogeologi :bulb: **Week 1 Pendahuluan** Dasapta Erwin Irawan Institut Teknologi Bandung [Profil ORCID](https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1526-0863) --- # Tentang slide ini :bulb: - Slide ini dibuat menggunakan [HackMD](hackmd.io) - Template slide: https://hackmd.io/p/template-Talk-slide - Source slide akan tersedia di Github dengan PDF akan diedarkan kepada umum - Lisensi dokumen ini adalah bebas pakai [CC-BY](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/). --- # Disclaimer :bulb: - The following class shows you a guideline, which covers the common ground of research methodology. - However, later on you may find that each supervisor has different style. So go along with it and try to make some adjustment. - You may use and/or distribute the course material as long as you put a proper citation. ---- # Disclaimer - I can’t guarantee a full success story to all of you. It’s really depend on yourself to follow and to develop your own style and path. - I also can’t force something that’s not your style and believe and vice versa. So the relationship in the course is based on respect and mutual benefit. --- # Objectives :bulb: - to introduce the concept of research - to guide you formulating your research components and strategies - to guide you to writing their research proposal --- # Outline :bulb: - Week 1: Introduction + pre-test - Week 2: What is research? - Week 3: Formulating research question ---- # Outline - Week 4: Background research (literature review) - Week 5: Construct a hypothesis - Week 6: Mid test ---- # Outline - Week 4: Background research (literature review) - Week 5: Construct a hypothesis - Week 6: Mid test ---- # Outline - Week 7: Testing your hypothesis - Week 8: Analyse your data and draw a conclusion - Week 9: Communicating your results ---- # Outline - Week 10: Writing a research proposal 1 - Week 11: Writing a research proposal 2 - Week 12: Writing a research proposal 3 - Week 14: Final test --- # Jenis materi - Slide kuliah ini - Video [Youtube Kanal Akademia Terbalik](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4YQuqgB6IVD3VNSSJeDlzw?view_as=subscriber) - Tutorial yang bisa disampaikan dalam bentuk video di Youtube atau di [Podcast Akademia Terbalik](bit.ly/podcastakademiaterbalik) - dll yang akan selalu disampaikan via pesan teks ke ketua kelas --- # How I set the final mark - All of you are top notch students and your job is to prove the reason why I should give you an A. - There’s an very short exercise each week. - It’s very short that you won’t think of it as an exercise. I won’t give you more load than you’ve already had from other courses. ---- # How I set the final mark - Percentage: tests (60%), exercise (20%), printed proposal (20%). - If you do all of them, you’d be fine. - So let’s have a fun course. --- # What you can expect from me - **Motivation**: this is the most important one. Failing student is mostly unmotivated student. - **Research basics and some examples**: I will guide you to learn step by step and I’ll show you the dos and don’ts - **Research ideas**: I might give you topic suggestions ---- # What you can’t expect from me - A rocket science: I only teach something simple, something I know, something I experienced in the past - Source of fund: but I can recommend you how to get a fund - Detail explanations: I will choose what to give you and I’ll help each of you to get in to detail in each of your case. --- # What I from you - Active communication: email me as frequent as you want (but) with a clear subject. Ask me something when we are Skyping etc - Two way interaction: I’d like to exchange information with you. - Think beyond A, B, C: Always think that the goal of each course you take (including this one) will be your thesis. So the output of the course is beyond grade. --- # Some common mistake - I’ve been doing this half of my life. - Plus I get to experience it myself. - So the following are some common mistake in research that I identify. - I also may use your experience for future students. - But don’t worry name and places aren’t kept in private. ---- # Too late to start - Time is your biggest enemy. - I often see students that start to find their research question in second semester. - That’s way to late my dear friends. - But they say, ”the enemy of your enemy is your friend”. That’s habitual routine. - This class develops research habits out of you. ---- # Too late to start - But they say, ”the enemy of your enemy is your friend”. That’s habitual routine. - This class develops research habits out of you. ---- # Too late to start - Introducing ”start from the EaST” - Start Early: start your research from day one (1st semester). - Start Simple and Small: try to find small and simple problem from your neighbourhood. - Start Talking: try to talk your ideas to as many as students or lecturers and see what you can get from them. ----  [Running man, CC-0](https://publicdomainvectors.org/photos/Anonymous-running-late.png) ---- # Being unrealistic Here are some examples of unrealistic topic in master level (or in any other level): - Mapping the hydrogeology of Indonesia - Solving floods/drought/poverty in Indonesia - Proposing farming irrigation system for Indonesia ---- # Being unrealistic I’m not saying that they are all un-doable. You can fix them by: - Mapping the hydrogeology of Indonesia: focussing the area e.g: volcanic system of xxx area, karst system of yyy, etc - Solving floods in Indonesia: focussing the methodology and the area e.g: using injection well in xxx area, using artificial aquifer in yyy area. - Solving drought in Indonesia: focussing the methodology and the area e.g: using rain-harvesting method in high rainfall area of zzz. ---- # Lack of resources an skills You pick a topic that probably involving: - specific equipments: - world’s fastest super computer that is stored somewhere in Switzerland. - expensive reservoir modelling software that needs extensive training in Norway. - etc ----  [CERN collider - CC-0](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/78/CERN_LHC_CMS_15.jpg/800px-CERN_LHC_CMS_15.jpg) ---- # Lack of resources an skills - specific skill that required new timely training: - high level MatLab or python programming. - operating a radiometric dating equipment. ----  [Chainsaw tree - CC-0](https://www.publicdomainpictures.net/pictures/10000/velka/1210-1240955295Hn8Q.jpg) ---- # Lack of resources an skills - specific rare dataset: - time series rainfall dataset from the year 1945 - horisontal drilling well data from a big oil/geothermal company. ---- # Lack of resources an skills - Again I’m not saying that I forbid all of you to think about such topics nor I underestimate your knowledge. - I only need you to re-think and ask yourself, ”am I capable of doing that?” - Master or PhD degree is not a Noble Prize. - You need to self-evaluate: - your skills - the resources you can’t get in respect to your funding and your network ----  [Lack of funding, CC-0](https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2019/02/28/03/14/broke-4025287_960_720.png) ---- # Short of funding - The basic funding for master or PhD level is: tuition fee and research funding. You are aware of those needs, but you do nothing about it. - You probably has funding support for tuition fee, but you most likely don’t have research funding yet. - To find a research funding, there’s no other way than writing a research proposal. We’ll discuss about it later on. ---- # Check the following grant funders - [LPPM-ITB](www.lppm.itb.ac.id) - [Rispro LPDP](https://risprolpdp.kemenkeu.go.id/) - [Simlitabmas Dikti](http://simlitabmas.ristekdikti.go.id/) --- # Closing - Start from the EaST - Start **Early** - Start **Simple** and **Small** - Start **Talking** ----  [Wikimedia Commons CC-0](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Simple_diagram_of_virus_(en).svg) --- # Terima kasih :sheep: Berikut kanal komunikasi saya selain Whatsapp - [GitHub](github.com/dasaptaerwin) - [Twitter](twitter.com/dasaptaerwin) - surel d_erwin_irawan at yahoo dot com --- <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/EjyY1tHjyjk" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> [Link to the video](https://www.youtube.com/embed/EjyY1tHjyjk) ---
