The research process involves systematically collecting information to address an identified problem. It includes selecting a research question, reviewing existing literature and data, choosing a research design and method, determining respondents, conducting the study, analyzing collected data, and publishing results. Research can be quantitative, using statistical analysis and measurable data to quantify variables, or qualitative, exploring processes and activities through small, quota-based samples and collecting verbal data.

information * identified problem * analyzing the data * and the basis of evidence 1. The research selects a problem area and specifies research question 2. The researcher examines review existing reand researches data bases to review existing results and define terms. 3. The researcher selects a research design 4. The researcher determines the research method 3 common aspects
• Where and when the research will occur
• With whom specifically the research will be done • How will analyze the information and data collected 5. The researcher describes and selects the respondents of the study 6. The researcher conducts the study 7. The researcher analyzes the data and determine the implications of the researches 8. The researcher publish the results of his study QUANTITATIVE VS QUALITATIVE Quantitative Is characterized by the use of statistical analysis is used to quantify the problem by way of generating numerical data or data that can be transformed into usable statistics. It is used to quantify attitudes, opinions, behaviors, and other defined variables uses measurable data to formulate facts and uncover patterns in research. Quantitative data collection methods include various forms of surveys – online surveys, paper surveys, mobile surveys and kiosk surveys, face-to-face interviews, telephone interviews, longitudinal studies, website interceptors, online polls, and systematic observations. Qualitative is primarily exploratory research It involves collecting data within natural settings Data are verbal not numerical Is concerned with the process of activities and events as they are with results from those activities or events They analyze data through inductive reasoning rather than statistical procedures It is used to gain an understanding of underlying reasons, opinions, and motivations. It provides insights into the problem or helps to develop ideas or hypotheses Some common methods include focus groups (group discussions), individual interviews, and participation/observations. The sample size is typically small, and respondents are selected to fulfil a given quota.
