2. Characteristics of Research
.

3. 1. Empirical: Based on direct experience or observation.
2. Logical: Based on valid procedures and principles.
3. Cyclical: Starts and ends with a problem.
4. Analytical: Utilizes proven analytical procedures.
5. Critical: Exhibits careful and precise judgment.

4. II. The Seven Steps of
the Research Process
• Step 1: Define and develop
your topic.
• Step 2: Find background
information.
• Step 3: Plan your research
design.
• Step 4: Gather necessary
data.
• Step 5: Process and analyze
data.
• Step 6: Formulate new
insights or conclusions.
• Step 7: Define a new
problem.

5. Step 1: Define
and Develop Your
Topic
• Factors to Consider in
Selecting a Research
Problem:
1. Researcher’s area of
interest.
2. Availability of funds.
3. Investigator’s ability and
training.

6. Step 2:
Review of
Related
Literature
• Find background information
about your chosen topic.
• Analyze relevant studies and
sources to support your research.

7. Step 3: Plan
Your Research
Design
• Plan your methodology including:
1. Research design (qualitative or
quantitative).
2. Sampling techniques and size.

8. Step 4: Gather
Necessary
Data
Use appropriate tools
based on research type:
• Open-ended
questions for qualitative
research.
• Closed-ended or
paper-pencil tests for
quantitative research.

9. Step 5:
Process and
Analyze Data
• Use thematic
analysis for
qualitative research.
• Apply statistical
tools for
quantitative
research.

10. Step 6: Formulate
Insights and
Conclusions
• Gain new insights
(qualitative research).
• Draw conclusions
and
recommendations
(quantitative
research).

11. Step 7: Define a
New Problem
• Use conclusions to
identify new research
opportunities.
• Start the cycle again to
address the next problem.
