MOTIVATIONAL BACKGROUND
We often may not find what we look for when we employ research to discover it. Research can help us discover both what we are looking for or what an unexpected outcome is through what may come out as serendipity in the research process. In this the 6th AGPA training, we will try to focus on how high quality research will be achieved by re-visiting and exploring the following
a)      Research problem
How do we go about identifying a problem worth investigating and spending time on by selecting a research conceptual frame to produce the much needed and relevant tools to explore and produce new, tangible and measurable ideas, outcomes and results? The first and foremost task to begin any research in any field or discipline is defining a research problem.
b)      Research Philosophy
How is knowledge created and developed? Research Philosophy has ontology, epistemology and axiology dealing with the nature of reality, the nature of knowledge and selecting the appropriate values and ethics. There is also research paradigm how to see the world and to understand it. There is positivism, normativism, interpretivism, constructivism and phenomenology by adding specific contexts in order to learn how to be able to identify what, how and why to come to know what is or what ought to be discovered, identified, distinguished and selected. There are theories that are grounded, appreciative and abstract and research approaches that are inductive and deductive with hypotheses that have to be clearly articulated to advance the research design and process to facilitate the creation of original output.

c)       On Time Research Management
The key challenge is to discover the specific research approach to address the research problem and construct, identify and distinguish the methodology from the methods by using the appropriate research design to undertake the research process and practice to generate the best quality results on time.

During this 5th AGPA Training Day, the mentors will contribute on how best high quality creative research will be achieved in time based on their own life-long research work. They will also give lectures on their-cutting edge research to pass knowledge on how younger researchers can learn to address the research challenges they themselves too went through their own specific long journeys. There will also be presentations by post-graduates of their own research including papers they wish to publish to get critical feedback. There will also be the launch of the Journal of Creativity, Innovation and Social Entrepreneurship (JCISE).
