Likewise, it takes time to produce a PhD thesis. To get a rose, you have to pass through its thorns.

Synopsis

This study will explore on how much young children know the relationship of plant and animals in their residential community. That is what and how do 5 to 12 years old children directly experience with the elements of outdoor that afford them to understand the link between plant and animals and between an animal with another animal. Literate on the ecosystem in their everyday environment can lead them to care of nature, lifelong learning and active with community.

Allowing young children to engage with outdoor environment permits them to construct their own learning process on the functional properties of elements. The engagement also affords the children to learn social skill through play with peers.

A good teacher explains, a superior teacher demonstrates, a great teacher inspires.

Your research framework is generated from a review of many subjects from different disciplines. Your task is to cogently write the materials into a pattern of regularity. It must present a composite of past findings related to your research subject. The composition is like making a salad to eat with briyani rice.

LITERATURE REVIEW
From a plethora of literature, you should debate the findings or concerns of past studies between one to another, and between them with your study. For example, children’s engagement with outdoors should debate on why children prefer to interact with the elements and place in the outdoor environment. What are attributes or properties of the outdoors they the children engaged with. As a result, what pattern of behavior is generated from the engagement. Therefore, the review materials could get from Children’s Geog, Childhood Psy., Human Geog, and Env Psy. Then debate how the review is related to your research subject on children and outdoor environment.

In doing PhD, the difficulty is not how to begin but rather when to stop.
