Keyword - Question - Answer Method

A method that will almost certainly work. Why? Because almost every thesis, if you look at it, is structured in a similar way.

Let's say you need to write about the following topic:

"Examining and treating forward head posture among sprinters."

runner vs sprinter

First Step: Extracting Keywords

As a first step, let's look at the keywords, extract them, and then ask questions about them.

The keywords could be:

  • forward head posture
  • examining forward head posture
  • treating forward head posture
  • sprinters
  • sprinters' circle, set

Second Step: Asking Questions

The question can even be trivial, you might only present it in one sentence, but that's also a sentence. 😎

You might be helping a reader who has no idea about your topic but is interested in your final result.

A few good starts related to the question:

  • What,
  • From what,
  • In what,
  • What kind,
  • Why,
  • How.

Some example questions that might come to mind as a layperson related to the above example sentence: "Examining and treating forward head posture among sprinters."

  • What exactly does forward head posture mean?
  • What does sprinter mean? How is a sprinter different from a middle-distance or long-distance runner? Why does this thing specifically affect them?
  • What causes forward head posture to develop? What other posture types exist? (if any) (psst: It's also information if you don't find data about it, it can be the basis of a research topic 😎)
  • How do these differ from each other?
  • What potentially negative or positive effects could this type of posture have?
  • Why is it worth examining this? What research results can I extract from this?
  • If someone reads my thesis, what new information will they extract from it? How can I help other research work?
  • Why does this need to be treated? What treatment methods exist?
  • How do the treatment methods differ? Why is one better than another?
  • In my dissertation, why did I choose that particular treatment method? Why not the other one?

Third Step: Answer the Questions

If you answer all these questions, look for possible answers, then more questions and thoughts will almost come one after another, from which a nice big and long mass of text will be created.

If you feel you don't know how to approach it, Pontbot has a keyword extraction and question generator function too.
