1. Define Research
According to John W. Best, research is a systematic and objective analysis and recording of
controlled observations that may lead to the development of generalizations, principles,
theories, and concepts, resulting in prediction for seeing and possibly ultimate control of
events. Hence, research is a step-by-step process of inquiry, data collection, and experiments
that leads to generalized conclusions that enables researchers to provide solutions to a specific
problem.
