According to Creswell “Research is a process of steps used to collect and analyze information to increase our understanding of a topic or issue”. There are other definitions of research which also state that research is a systematic inquiry that investigates hypotheses, suggests new interpretations of data or texts, and poses new questions for future research to explore. It involves inductive and deductive methods. Inductive research methods are used to analyze an observed event. Deductive methods are used to verify the observed event. Inductive approaches are associated with qualitative research and deductive methods are more commonly associated with quantitative research. EMPIRICAL is based on observations and experimentation on theories. SYSTEMATIC follows orderly and sequential procedure. CONTROLLED all variables except those that are tested/experimented upon are kept constant. EMPLOYS HYPOTHESIS guides the investigation process. ANALYTICAL There is critical analysis of all data used so that there is no error in their interpretation OBJECTIVE, UNBAISED & LOGICAL - all findings are logically based on empirical data EMPLOYS METHODS Data are transformed into numerical measures and are treated statistically INTRODUCTION CHAPTER 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND CHAPTER 2 REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE METHODOLOGY CHAPTER 3 METHOD AND PROCEDURES RESULTS CHAPTER 4 PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA DISCUSSION CHAPTER 5 SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS INTRODUCTION CHAPTER 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND CHAPTER 2 REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE Background of the Study – includes purpose and reason behind the conduct of the study.
