Move 1: establish your

territory
Group 1 research presentation
Introduction:
• In creating a C.A.R.S model, you need to have guides in creating a
research space in order to execute and create a proper model for your
research.

In this presentation, we talk about the first move in creating or

applying the C.A.R.S method to your research

Side questions
• What’s establishing a
research territory?
• How do you start a territory
in research?
• When should you start a
research territory?
• Why is it important?
 Establishing a research territory is when you announce or
give context to the research that you are going to discuss or
to talk about. The research territory, or broad topic, is the
context required to both understand and conduct the
research being explored.
 To start a research territory you must announce what your
topic is and give context or a short introduction to your
topic.
 You will start to establish your research territory in the
beginning of your introduction to your research
 It is important to establish your research territory in order
for your research to be clear and to give context to your
research.
The three steps to executing the first move
step 1: claiming importance to the research, describing the research
problem and providing evidence to support why the topic being studied
is important to study.
Step 2: making topic generalizations, topic generalizations are
“providing statements about the current state of knowledge,
consensus, practice or description of phenomena”
Step 3: - Reviewing items of previous research, this is more on
reflecting from the key studies you have researched that you’ve learned
about or perhaps is not yet fully addressed
