 When we use Research design

3. What is research Design
 A research design is a framework or blueprint for conducting the research
project. It details the procedures necessary for obtaining the information
needed to structure or solve any research problems. In simple words it is the
general plan of how you will go about your research.

4. Research Design
In simple word Research design is the plan, structure and strategy of
investigation conceived so as to obtain answers to research questions and to
control variance.

 For building of a car, we must have a suitable blueprint made by an expert
designer. In a similar fashion, we require a suitable design or plan just before
data collection and analysis of the research project. Planning of design must
be carried out cautiously as even a small mistake might mess up the purpose
of the entire project. The design helps the investigator to organize his ideas,
which helps to recognize and fix his faults, if any.

6. Function of Research Design
 The function of a research design is to ensure that requisite data in
accordance with the problem at hand is collected accurately and
economically. Simply stated, it is the framework, a blueprint for the research
study which guides the collection and analysis of data. The research design,
depending upon the needs of the researcher may be a very detailed
statement or only furnish the minimum information required for planning the
research project.

7. Why We use Research Design
Research Design is used for following purposes
 Research design is needed because it facilitates the smooth sailing of the
various research operations, thereby making research as efficient as possible
yielding maximal information with minimal expenditure of effort, time and
money. Research design has a significant impact on the reliability of the
results obtained. It thus acts as a firm foundation for the entire research.

8. Need For research Design Continue…
 It reduces inaccuracy;
 Helps to get maximum efficiency and reliability;
 Eliminates bias and marginal errors;
 Minimizes wastage of time;
 Helpful for collecting research materials;
 Helpful for testing of hypothesis;
 Gives an idea regarding the type of resources required in terms of money,
manpower, time, and efforts;
 Provides an overview to other experts;
 Guides the research in the right direction.

9. When We use Research Design
 Research design is used when we are not much know about the situation at
hand or no information is available on how similar problems or research issue
is solved in past.
 When we want accurate result of any problem.
 To Gets rid of bias and marginal errors.
 When we describe the characteristic of the variable of interest in situation
 When we want to get idea concerning the type of resources needed in terms
of money, effort, time, and manpower.

10. Research Design
Research Design basically answers the following questions
 What is the study about?
 Why is the study being made?
 Where will be the study carried out?
 What type of data is required?
 Where can be required data can be found?
 What period of time will the study include?
 What will be the sample design?

 What technique of data collection will be used?
 How will the data be analyzed?
 In what style the report be prepared?
