    This chapter discusses research methods and processes. It will outline the research process by examining how problems can be identified, data gathered, and conclusions made from analysis. The major focus will be on research design, data collection techniques, and data analysis. Ideal research selects the most appropriate method, such as field research, surveys, experiments, or secondary data analysis. However, practical constraints like time, money, and skills often influence method choices and data collection. The goal of scientific research is to account for all possible variable relationships to make statements about the relationship between variables of interest based on collected data.

    In this paper we develop a base of knowledge about research that will facilitate our
    developing research skills; we then follow up on these research possibilities in the next
    chapter with handson exercises.

    This chapter will develop an outline of the research process by discussing, how problems can
    be formed, data gathered, and interpretations and conclusions made from the data gathered. A
    brief examination of the types, characteristics, and limits, of data collection techniques will
    be presented with the major portion of this chapter focusing on research design (data
    collection techniques) and data analysis (interpreting, analyzing and drawing conclusions
    from data).

    "Upon approaching something that is complex one discovers that it is even more complex
    then originally thought"

    -Author Unknown

    Under ideal conditions you would select the most appropriate method--field research, survey,
    experiment or secondary data analysis for your problem. Realities of available money, time,
    access to information, and your own personal skills often are decisive factors in design choice
    and data collection. Once the design is firm, you follow through the steps in your design and
    collect the data. All of us have collected data, though not necessarily precisely and carefully
    in a scientific manner. Frequently we observe people in a new situation to determine what is
    expected of us, such as when we first started college, visited a new city, or started a new job.

    This method of research is called participant observation, a particular type of field research.
    We may ask friends how and why they are going to vote a certain way in an upcoming
    election. This research method is known as interviewing. We may try different types or
    amounts of spices in a recipe to find which combination tastes the best. This method is called
    experimenting. Most of us have investigated sources and data in the library to help us in
    making a decision about a trip, a car, a house, or a major appliance purchase. This method is
    known as secondary analysis, the analysis of data collected by others.

    Pre Post
    Experimental A B
    Control C D

    In all cases of scientific research, the goal is to account for all possible causes in a proposed
    relationship between variables. Therefore statements can be made about the relationship
    between the variables of interest based on the data collected. We have all seen the simplest
    version of experiment models expressed in data for pre and post times for groups selected to
    be comparative by either random selection or matching. As an example, a classic
    advertisement proving the efficacy of Crest tooth paste in preventing cavities, evaluations are
    made of both group A and B for the pre test (all members of both groups are checked by a
    dentist and cavities filled). The experimental stimulus (variable) is presented only to the
    experimental group (group A brushes with Crest toothpaste while Group C continues using
    their normal toothpaste). After a period of time, say six months, group B and D are again
    checked by a dentist for cavities.

    Differences in cavities between group B and C are seen as due to using Crest toothpaste.
