The document defines several key terms used in research: hypothesis refers to assumptions made to guide data collection and analysis in investigating whether something is true; investigation is a thorough search for facts about how or why something happened; interpretation draws inferences from collected information. It also outlines that research design establishes the framework and methodology, a research problem identifies an issue requiring deeper understanding, and the research process follows systematic and interconnected steps for scientific inquiry.
