What is Research?
RESEARCH defined– Systematic and
orderly (following a series of steps)
– Purpose is newknowledge, which must be reliable

This is a general definition which applies to all
disciplines

SCIENTIFIC METHOD
• The scientific method is away to ask and answerscientific questions bymaking observations anddoing experiments.
• SCIENTIFIC means
- systematic

attempt to provide answers
to questions
(Tuckman, 1999)
DEFINITION
• Research is a systematic way
of asking questions, a

DEFINITION• Research may be defined as the
systematic and objective analysis and
recording of controlled observations
that may lead to the development of
generalizations, principles, or theories,
resulting in prediction and possible
control of events
(Best and Kahn, 1998)
SYSTEMATIC because there is a definite set of procedures and steps which you will follow. There are certain things in the research process which are always done in order to get the most accurate results.ORGANIZED in that there is a structure or method in going about doing research. It is a planned procedure, not a spontaneous one. It is focused and limited to a specific scope.FINDING ANSWERS is the end of all research. Whether it is the answer to a hypothesis or even a simple question, research is successful when we find answers. Sometimes the answer is no, but it is still an answer.QUESTIONS are central to research. If there is no question, then the answer is of no use. Research is focused on relevant, useful, and important questions. Without a question, research has no focus, drive, or purpose.
