There are various approaches to conducting basic and applied research.


The research process starts with a broad idea for a topic.

Research Process Steps


The research process consists of a series of systematic procedures that a
researcher must go through in order to generate knowledge that will be
considered valuable by the project and focus on the relevant topic.
To conduct effective research, you must understand the research process
steps and follow them. Here are a few steps in the research process to make
it easier for you:
Step 1: Identify the Problem
1. Formulating a clear research question is the first step.
2. A well-defined problem guides objectives and methodology.
3. Various approaches help gain insights into the topic:
a. Preliminary Survey
b. Case Studies
c. Interviews
d. Observational Survey
Step 2: Evaluate Literature
1. Essential for refining the research problem.
2. Identifies specific aspects of the problem.
3. Provides background and context.
4. Reviews past studies, methods, and findings.
5. Ensures consistency with existing research.
6. Expands knowledge base for better understanding.
7. Guides research design and methodology.
Step 3: Create Hypotheses
1. Develops a testable statement based on the research topic.
2. Defines logical relationships between variables.
3. Requires prior knowledge and expertise in the field.
4. Must align with the research topic for relevance.
5. Guides the research process by focusing efforts on specific objectives.
Step 4: Research Design
1. Definition: Research design is a structured plan to achieve objectives
and answer research questions.
2. Purpose: Helps test hypotheses, address research questions, and
provide insights for decision-making.
3. Optimization: Aims to minimize time, cost, and effort while ensuring
meaningful results.
4. Categories:
a. Exploration & Surveys
b. Experiment
c. Data Analysis
d. Observation
