1) Research involves systematically collecting and analyzing information to increase knowledge. It starts with an idea or question and involves gathering and organizing data to find answers. 2) There are two main types of research: qualitative research which uses questions to gather hypothetical information, and quantitative research which uses mathematical analysis like statistics. 3) Documentation is the systematic recording and organized arrangement of collected and summarized information. It aims to provide details about a topic through various forms of media like text, drawings, photos, and video.

• This type of Research is Hypothetical.
• Generally it can be carried out by answering Questions like What? Where? Why? When? How?

7. WHAT IS DOCUMENTATION???

8. WHAT IS A DOCUMENT?
A “document” is a collection of data, regardless of the medium on which it is recorded,
that generally has permanence and can be read by humans or machines. Documents include
both paper and electronic documents.
A document is an amount of information on one or more related topics prepared for a specific
purpose and presented as a unit. A document may be used in a printed form, online form or a
combination of the two.
Examples of documents include: manuals, reports, proposals, letters, faxes and emails.

9. Systematic Recording of the Data and Organized Arrangement of the summarized
Information is DOCUMENTATION.
Process of Documentation: the process of providing details or information about
something
Documentation should aim to
collect/create
Information in the form of –
• Drawings
• Sketches
• Photographs
• Audio
• Video
• Graphic and
• Text documentation in a variety of
contexts.

11. WHAT IS ANALYSIS???

12. Analysis of data is a process of inspecting, cleaning, transforming,
and modeling data with the goal of discovering useful information,
suggesting conclusions, and supporting decision-making.
