Study Notes
Chapter One: The Research Process
- Research involves a systematic examination to establish facts and principles.
- It's composed of two parts: "re" (again) and "search" (examine).
- Research must be controlled, rigorous, systematic, valid, verifiable, empirical, and critical.
- Controlled research minimizes the effect of external factors.
- Rigor implies meticulous procedures.
- Systematic research follows a logical sequence.
- Validity and verifiability mean conclusions are accurate and can be confirmed by others.
- Empirical research is based on observable evidence.
- Critical scrutiny ensures the process is thorough.
Types of Research
- Pure research develops and tests theories, often without immediate practical applications.
- Applied research addresses specific, practical, often policy-orientated questions. It can be descriptive, correlational or explanatory. This type of research is almost always done on the basis of pure research.
- Descriptive research systematically details a situation, problem, phenomenon, etc.
- Correlational research investigates the relationship between two or more aspects of a situation.
- Explanatory research seeks to clarify why and how a relationship exists
- Exploratory research investigates possibilities for future research studies.
Steps in Research Process
- Formulating the Research Problem
- Extensive Literature Review
- Identifying Research Objectives
- Preparing Research Design & Sample Design
- Collecting the Data
- Analyzing Data
- Generalizing/Interpreting
