DEFINING RESEARCH A
PRELIMINARIES
Research is a systematic process of collecting, analyzing, and interpreting information in order to increase our understanding of a phenomenon about which we are interested or concerned
(Leedy & Ormrod, 2013).
Identifying a Problem
QUALITATIVE RESEARCH
Exploring a problem and developing a detailed understanding of a central phenomenon
Having the literature review play a minor role but justify the problem
Stating the purpose and research questions in a general and broad way
Collecting data based on words from a small number of individuals
Analyzing the data for description and themes using text analysis and interpreting the larger meaning of the findings
Writing the report using flexible, emerging structures and evaluative criteria, and including the researchers’ subjective reflexivity and bias
QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH
Describing a problem through trends or an explanation of the relationship among variables
Providing a major role for the literature
Creating purpose statements, research questions, and hypotheses that are specific, narrow, measurable, and observable
Collecting numeric data from a large number of people using instruments with preset questions and responses
Using statistical analysis, and interpreting results by comparing them with prior predictions and past research
Writing the research report using standard, fixed structure. Approach is unbiased.
