Research Process
What do you want to find out about?
How are you going to go about finding the
answer to that question?
Research task is a sequential process
involving several clearly defined steps.

#1 Formulate a research problem
• The more specific and clear you are, the
better.
• The main function is to decide what you
want to find out about.

#2 Conceptualize a research design
• Research uses of appropriate methods.
• Involves systematic, controlled, valid and
rigorous exploration and descriptions.
• The strength of the findings largely rests
on how it was found.6

#3 Construct an instrument for datacollection.
• Means of collecting information for study
• What are your research tools?
• Observation form
• Interview schedules
• Questionnaires and interview7

#4 Select a sample
• The accuracy of your work depends on
how you select your sample.
• Avoid bias.
• Different categories of sampling:
• random
• non-random or “mixed”8

#5 Write yourresearch proposal
• What do you propose to do?
• How do you plan to proceed?
• Why did you select this particular
strategy?

#7 Processing data
• Depends on what type of data and research.
• Process the data manually or using a
computer?
• What statistical procedures would be
meaningful?11

#8 Writing the research report
• The easiest and the hardest step.
• Don’t expect your first draft to be the final
draft.
• Know what writing style is expected – this
differs depending upon discipline.12
