    Research is directed towards solving problems through the development of generalizations and theories to predict future occurrences. It requires gathering empirical evidence through accurate observation and description, as well as collecting new data from primary sources or using existing data in new ways. Research employs careful, rigorous procedures and analysis, and aims to be objective and logical by thoroughly testing methods and findings. It involves patience and addressing unsolved problems.

    1. Research is directed towards the solution of a problem.


    INTRODUCTION 2. Research emphasizes the development of generalization, principles or

    3. Research is based upon observable experience or empirical evidence.
    Academic research is work that contributes to human knowledge and 4. Research demands accurate observation and description
    expands the procedures established by academic disciplines. 5. Research involves gathering new date from primary or firsthand sources
    using existing data for a new purpose.
    Definition of Research 6. Careful designed procedures that apply rigorous analysis.
    1. Research is a quest for an answer to a question. Knowing the answer to 7. Research requires expertise.
    8. Research tries to be objective and logical, applying every possible test to

    haphazard answers to posed questions. 10. Research is characterized by patience and unhurried activity.

    learning what we already know though systematic observation and
    experimentation.

    4. Research is a systematic, controlled, empirical and critical investigation of


    natural phenomena guided by theory and hypotheses about a presumed
    relations among such phenomena.

    5. Research is a systematic and objective analysis and recording od


    controlled observations that may lead to the development of
    generalizations, principles or theories resulting in prediction and possibly
    ultimate control of events. (Bes and Khan, ’89)

    COMMON ELEMENTS OF RESEARCH

    1.To attain or establish facts about the phenomenon being investigated.


    2. Systematic
    3. Objective
    4. Comprehensive investigation
    5. Accurate gathering of data, recording and critical analysis of data and
    interpretation of facts.
