Systematic Research follows certain steps that are logical in order.
These steps are:
1- Understanding the nature of the problem to be studied and identifying the related area of knowledge.
2- Reviewing literature to understand how others have approached or dealt with the problem.
3- Collecting data in an organized and controlled manner so as to arrive at valid decisions.
4- Analyzing data appropriate to the problem.
5- Drawing conclusions and making generalizations.
Characteristics of Research:
Research is a process through which we attempt to achieve systematically and with the support of data the answer to a question, the resolution of a problem, or a greater understanding of a phenomenon.
This process has eight distinct characteristics:
Research…
1. Originates with a question or problem.
2. Requires a clear articulation of a goal.
3. Follows a specific plan of procedure.
4. Usually divides the principal problem into more manageable sub-problems.
5. Is guided by the specific research problem, question, or hypothesis.
6. Accepts certain critical assumptions.
7. Requires the collection and interpretation of data in attempting to resolve the problem that
initiated the research.
8. Is by its nature, cyclical; or more exactly, helical.
