Meaning of Research - Research seeks the answer of certain questions which have not been answered so far, and the answers depend upon human efforts. - Research is an endeavor to discover answers to intellectual and practical problems through the application of scientific method. - Research is the systematic process of collecting and analyzing information (data) in order to increase our understanding of the phenomenon about which we are concerned or interested.
Usually Research consists of: 1. Asking a question that nobody has asked before; 2. Doing the necessary work to find the answer; 3. Communicating the knowledge you have acquired to a larger audience.
THE PURPOSE OF RESEARCH IS TO 1. Review or synthesize existing knowledge 2. Investigate existing situations or problems 3. Provide solutions to problems 4. Explore and analyze more general issues 5. Construct or create new procedures or systems 6. Explain new phenomenon 7. Generate new knowledge 8. Or a combination of any of the above!
THE STEPS OF THE RESEARCH Research is systematic, because it follows certain steps that are logical in order. These steps are: Understanding the nature of problem to be studied and identifying the related area of knowledge. Reviewing literature to understand how others have approached or dealt with the problem. - Collecting data in an organized and controlled manner so as to arrive at valid decisions. Analyzing data appropriate to the problem. Drawing conclusions and making generalizations.
Research process: (1) Formulating the research problem; (2) Extensive literature survey; (3) Developing hypothesis; (4) Preparing the research design; (5) Determining sample design; (6) Collecting data; (7) Execution of the project; (8) Analysis of data; (9) Hypothesis testing; (10) Generalization and interpretation (11) Preparation of the report presentation of the results. In other words, it involves the formal write-up of conclusions.
