    Research is defined as an organized, systematic, and objective inquiry into a problem to find solutions. There are different types of research processes. Defining the research problem involves several steps like stating the problem generally, understanding its nature and objectives, reviewing literature, and rephrasing the problem as a working hypothesis. The research design consists of sampling design, observational design, statistical design, and operational design. It depends on the type of research - exploratory research focuses on preliminary surveys, descriptive research involves data collection and analysis to present results, and hypothesis testing research uses informal and formal experimental designs to test hypotheses.

    Defining a Research
    Problem


    Pre-requisites

     Some individual or group with a problem


     Some objective
     Alternative means
     Choice of alternatives

    (contd.)
     Precautions

     Avoid controversial topics


     Avoid too narrow or too vast topics
     Select familiar subjects
     Cost, time, researcher capability
     Preliminary study

    Steps in defining Research
    Process
    1. Statement of problem in a general way

    2. Understanding the nature of the problem

     origin/ nature & objectives


    3. Surveying the available literature

     secondary data
    4. Developing ideas through discussions

     experience survey
    5. Rephrasing the problem

     working hypothesis
    Reseach Design

     Parts of a research design


     -the sampling design
