Definition of Research

Research is the careful consideration of study regarding a particular concern or research

problem using scientific methods. According to the American sociologist Earl Robert Babbie,
“research is a systematic inquiry to describe, explain, predict, and control the observed
phenomenon. It involves inductive and deductive methods.” Inductive methods analyze an
observed event, while deductive methods verify the observed event. Inductive approaches are
associated with qualitative research, and deductive methods are more commonly associated
with quantitative analysis.
