Study Notes
What is Research?
- Research is a method of enquiry to discover reality, involving a systematic process to gather information in a scientific and unbiased way.
- The purpose of research is to add to the body of knowledge about human life, building on existing knowledge to refine the profession's knowledge.
Research Process
- Researchers follow a set procedure to complete the research successfully, which entails:
- Selecting a research topic or idea
- Conducting a literature review to discover what is already known about the topic
- Identifying gaps in knowledge and formulating a problem
- Determining the aim and objectives of the study
- Designing the research, including measures, data collection, and sampling
- Developing a procedure and plan for data analysis
- Ensuring the scientific rigour of the study, including validity, reliability, and trustworthiness
- Addressing ethical considerations and obtaining necessary permissions
- Disseminating the findings to the academic community
- Creating a work and time schedule, and budgeting for the research
Research Proposal
- A research proposal is a written request for permission to conduct the research, written in future tense.
- The proposal outlines the research plan, including the literature review, theoretical framework, problem formulation, aim and objectives, research design, data collection, measures, participants, sampling, procedure, data analysis, trustworthiness, ethical considerations, pilot study, dissemination of results, time schedule, and budget.
Ethical Considerations
- Ethical considerations are a crucial aspect of research planning and conducting, ensuring that the research is conducted with respect for participants and the profession.
- Key aspects of research ethics include:
- Obtaining permission for research
- Informed assent and consent
- Anonymity and confidentiality
- Right to withdraw participation
