INTRODUCTION
Research is identify as a systematic investigative process employed in order to maximise
or revise actual knowledge by discovering unique facts. Educational research introduce to the
analysis of data and systematic collection of information related to the education field
(Education Research, 2018). Research may cover a different kind of aspects including teaching
methods, student learning, classroom dynamics and pedagogue training (Garrison, 2011). This
assignment based on the personal learning and teaching on educational field especially computer
sciences. Main reason behind choosing computer science as a part of educational field is to
identify specific problem that may arise during the learning. In order to overcome such issue
consumer may conduct research that help them to maximise their learning in educational sector.
MAIN BODY
Research is more effective and essential part for me because it help in maximising my
learning skills and knowledge appropriately. I saw the chances to become involved in
investigation as a wonderful possibility because I had just done my master's degree from regional
university. It took a maximum time period for me to come to ways with what the inquiry was
about. In the early phase of projects and tasks my own history that was recorded. It took me
backmost to my personal learning experience, successes and failures. This interview or
discussion made me acutely conscious of how my learning experiences effect on my learning
process. It is more essential for me to maximise my learning experience effectively.
Research is important for me as a student because it can assist me to have a detailed
evaluation of everything. In this chosen area of research is computer science as a section of
education field. Main reason behind selecting this area is to aim over resolving issues associated
with the computer and related organisations. This area help me in design, analysis and develop
of hardware and software applied to solve issue. It is the research of experimentation,
engineering and theory that form the basis for the apply of computers (Anderson and Shattuck,
2012). My experience which is gained from computer science at regional were those with a
actual world applications, like group projects, project management, presentation and coursework.
So, in this, I have to look out for chances to learn the skills. I now study in cancer research centre
in Australia and apply the software development, programming and problem solving quality. All
these that I learnt during my university degree on a regular basis. It is more rewarding to believe
1

that the technical knowledge that I have learnt at Australia University could provide advantages
to society (Erikson,2014). Beside this, I observed different advantages of the research in my
education life such as improvement in knowledge, clarifies confusion etc.
Proper research support me to understand the published work and learn to develop a
balance between the individual and collaborative work. With the help of accurate investigation, I
know my interest and understand the rationale of the topic. Thus, research is valuable and useful
part of my successful career and knowledge. My experience in computer science about the
research is more better as compare to another area (Mikropoulos and Natsis, 2011). Better
learnings support me to easily address all issue and identify better solution to overcome specific
problem properly. Therefore, in order to maximise my learning experience, I joined different
training and development class which help also help me to increase my knowledge. Computer
science is one of the best area of my interest because in such field I am capable to deal with
different issue related to the technology.
My main motive and reason behind choosing Computer science as an effective part of
education field is to identify the importance of research as well as find out various issue which
arise during maximising learning skills. In during the process of learning that have been
identified different issue which are determined as under: Artificial intelligence and robotics: It is a main issue which is faced by me in area of
computer science. In this technology is still in its advance phase, but tech giants including
Google, Facebook and IBM that are investing maximum amount of resources and fund
into research. Security in the internet of things: It is a main issue that is faced by me and its effects on
my performance and learning process. I might already capable in order to control heating,
lights and the sound system in place remotely from my mobile phone. Imagination and visualization: Main example of this are networking engineering and
computer network (Spector and et. al., 2014). This are subjects that is very vast in which
all concept is real and interesting. Adaptability struggle : Changing from traditional classroom and direct instructor training
in a virtual classroom creates the learning occurrence wholly different for me. It is the
main issue which is faced by me because I have traditional mindset so in this I require to
accept the unique learning environment with an open mind.

 Self-motivation: It is another problem which impacts on my learning and knowledge. In
during the learning, I need motivation because it help me to complete all work in an
appropriate manner (Ellis, 2014).
All this are main issue which addressed by me in the educational field. In order to solve
all issue I develop different tools and techniques which support me to easily overcome this. For
example: In order to reduce technical issue I will use digital technology which assist me to easily
provide my point of view about the topic. In this I want to address self-motivation problem
because it is the main and foremost part of my career (Reeves and McKenney, 2013). Thus
research is important and significant for me to improve me learning experience as well as
achieve personal and professional objectives within predetermined period of time.
Computer science is main and effective area of education field for me because in this
field I highly need research in order to analyse various factors that motivate and encourage me.
Through detailed investigation, I create critical thinking skilfulness as well as better analytical,
communication and research quality that are globally sought-after and unbelievably beneficial.
Finally, research is important to social and economic improvement of our globalised community.
There are different advantages of research in computer science which are determined as under:
Solving problems and improving solutions: Research is more essential and important for
me in solving different issues which arise in technology system. With the help of proper research
I used different types of technology that help in improving solution in a better manner.
Goals of research: Working on a research study will evidently be a rewarding and
challenging experience, provided me put my best skill and expertise on it (Glanz, 2014). It is an
effective opportunity which assist me to pursue a detail research regarding educational field. The
main motive of set goals and targets is to give better solution to some issue and also to raise my
knowledge.
The “Iterative” process of research: Iteration is identified as a key for a successful
investigation. One thing that I will always see during investigation, are the query which arises
one after the another. These questions mainly leads to unique ides, improvements and revisions.
All these move will be more effective in the process making of research it information very
useful and effective.

From the above mentioned graph it has been concluded that the computer science field is
most fastest growing and biggest playing career paths across the world. This is highly supported
on how exposed me are to resources and technology. This area support the person by providing
learning opportunities which is increase rapidly. I am regardless of interested area that must be
avid in applying computers whether it be to develop a file or investigating a certain subjects.
Importance of research in computer science: Educational research involves an effective
process which is systematic, exhaustive and formal (Importance of computer science education,
2018). The researcher has to proceed more systematically in order to accomplish my objectives
and goals. I have to be more careful in creating manipulations, using controls, making analysis of
information, testing hypotheses and developing generalization for the encouragement of
knowledge and skills in the educational field (Constas and Sternberg, 2013). Thus, it is essential
for me to maximise my skills and knowledge about the particular field. It is also effective for me
to provide training and development which can help me to easily achieve better outcomes and
results within predetermined period of time. Therefore, I wanted to take this possibility in order

to explain why I think investigation is an essential element of education studies. Inquiry is not an
idea that policy makers, managers and practitioners respect.
In educational field, research is more significant and essential element that help in
identifying the various factors that help in increasing knowledge and learning about the topic.
This is also significant for me to enhance my educational practices (Benitti, 2012). At the same
time, it is also essential in enhancing overall improvement and growth of my. According to the
future strategies, digital technologies and computerisation has wider scope in the educational and
commercial both segments which are worth to research and discuss about. This can affirm from
the discussed notion that numerous consequences are being cooperated by the investigators such
as me while understanding distinct aspects of the studies but in regard of managing the success
and proper learning out of it, I need to identify the issues and resolve them ideally. Henceforth,
through the assistance of this, I can better learn to teach and can learn numerous aspects of my
area of interest i.e. Computer Science significantly.
CONCLUSION
From the above mentioned report it has been concluded that research is more essential
and significant part for an individual to maximise their knowledge and skills in a specific field.
Further it support in analysing issues and their solutions about particular area. It is significant
because of contributing practical improvement, knowledge development and policy information.
Thus, educators can apply those research finding in order to enhance their competences and
learning and teaching process.
