4.  Task of defining the research
problem is the preparation of the
research project, popularly known
as the “research design".
 Decisions regarding what, where,
when, how much, by what means
concerning an inquiry or a research
study constitute a research design.

5.  Research Design means the exact nature of the
research work in a systematic manner.
 According to Claire Selltiz (1962) “A
research design is the arrangement of
conditions for collection and analysis of
data in a manner that aims to combine
relevance to the research purpose with
economy in procedure”.

6.  Research Design includes the
structure of research work.
 It constitutes a blue print for
collection, measurements and
analysis of data. As such research
design includes an outline of what
the researcher will do from writing
the hypothesis to the final analysis
of the data collected.

7. In short, The research design contains :
A clear statement of the problem.
Procedures and Techniques to be
used for data collection
Sample to be studied
Method to be used for the analysis of
the data.

8. • Three traditional categories of research design:
• Exploratory
• Descriptive
• Causal
EXPLORATORY DESCRIPTIVE
Sampling Design Rigid Design
Statistical Design Probability Sampling Design
Observational Design Structured Design
Operational Design Advanced Decision Design
Pre- planned design for analysis

9. EXAMPLE……………….
Design of the study
Phase
One
Selection of the variables in the study
Formulation of hypothesis
Phase
Two
Construction and validation of required tool
Selection of standard tool
Selection of sample involved in the study
Phase
three
Administration of the tool and collection of
data
Analysis of the data by using suitable
statistical procedure
Phase
Four
Reporting the study

10.  It is a plan that specifies the source and
types of data relevant to the research
problem.
 It is a strategy specifying the approach
to be analyzing and gathering the data.
 It also include the budget of time and
cost.

11. It involves the mean of
obtaining information.
It involves availability and skill
of the researcher and his staff,
if any.
It involves the objective and
nature of the problem to be
studied.
It encourages co-ordination

12.  The research design is the
master plan specifying the
methods and procedures for
collecting and analyzing the
needed information. Research
design provides the glue that
holds the research project
together .
