    Study Notes

    Research Question and Proposal

    • A theory is a generalized concept that provides an explanation for existing things, while research is a way to expand the existing knowledge base and create new knowledge.

    Key Differences between Theory and Research

    • Nature: A theory is a conceptual framework used to explain things, whereas research is a creative work that generates new knowledge.
    • Practical Nature: Theories do not include practical elements, whereas research is mostly a practical approach.
    • Arrangement: A theory usually results from research; an assumption is made to a theory after a series of researches, and research usually precedes theories.

    Developing Research Hypotheses

    • Research hypotheses are developed based on the results of research, which can lead to the formation of a theory.
