Study Notes
Defining Research
- Research is a systematic and scientific process for gathering, organizing, analyzing, interpreting, and applying data connected to a problem.
- It's a search for answers to unsolved questions.
- Research is collecting data and information, learning and finding new things.
- It's an advanced knowledge that follows a systematic process of collecting and analysing information to better understand the phenomena under study.
- Research methods are systematic and scientific processes for collecting, compiling, analyzing, interpreting, and applying data related to a problem.
Research Examples
- Action research
- Theses
- Dissertations
- Case studies
Research Purposes
- Guiding action
- Validating theories
- Expanding knowledge within a field
Research Applicability
- Essential for students and academics
- Crucial for all professionals and non-professionals
Research Types
- Quantitative Research:
- Focuses on using numerical data to describe, infer, and resolve problems.
- Involves collecting, summarizing, and drawing conclusions from numerical data.
- Emphasizes the collection of numerical data, the summary of those data and the drawing of inferences from the data.
- Qualitative Research:
- Based on non-numerical data like words, feelings, emotions, sounds, and other unquantifiable elements.
- Cannot be analyzed mathematically.
- Information is considered qualitative in nature if it cannot be analyzed by means of mathematical techniques.
