INTRODUCTION TO RESEARCH DESIGN
RESEARCH DESIGN
Research design is a plan or a
strategy that guides the researcher in
collecting and analyzing data to
answer research questions or test
hypotheses.
NEED FOR RESEARCH DESIGN
 Research design is essential for any study
because it provides a framework that helps
researchers to organize and execute their
research in a systematic and logical way.
 It helps in defining the scope of the study,
selecting the appropriate methodology, data
collection techniques, data analysis, and
drawing valid conclusions.

CREATING OUR OWN PHILOSOPHY OF RESEARCH
DESIGN

It is important to develop your own philosophy of research design that matches your
research problem, beliefs, and values. Our philosophy of research design is based on the
following principles:

Contextualization Research should be contextualized within the social, cultural, and historical context in which it is
conducted. This means acknowledging the potential impact of societal structures, cultural values,
and historical events on the research process and outcomes.

Impact Research should have a positive impact on society. This includes disseminating the findings to
relevant stakeholders and contributing to the development of policies and practices that promote
social justice and equity.

Collaboration Research should involve collaboration between researchers and participants. This means engaging
participants as partners in the research process and valuing their contributions.
CREATING OUR OWN PHILOSOPHY OF RESEARCH
DESIGN

Purpose Research should have a clear purpose and a well-defined research question or objective. The
purpose of the research should be relevant to the field of study and should address a gap in
current knowledge.

Rigor Research should be conducted with rigor and precision to ensure that the results are reliable
and valid. This includes attention to the sampling frame, sample size, data collection methods,
and data analysis techniques.

Ethics Research should be conducted with the highest ethical standards. This includes ensuring that
participants give informed consent, protecting their privacy and confidentiality, and
minimizing any potential harm or discomfort.

Transparency Research should be transparent in terms of its methodology, data collection, and
analysis. This allows other researchers to replicate the study and verify the findings.
