The document discusses research methodology and defines it as the systematic investigation into and study of materials, sources, etc, in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions. It notes that research involves subjecting problems to rigorous scientific scrutiny so that knowledge about them moves beyond guesswork or intuition. Some examples of problems mentioned include global warming, terrorism, illiteracy, crime, the meaning of life, human origins, and the nature of reality. The document encourages thinking of problems related to one's own discipline or position and provides characteristics of problems as well as types of problems, distinguishing between ill-structured problems without clear solutions and well-structured problems with defined parameters.

4. • Research is what we do when we
have a question or a problem we
want to resolve
• We may already think we know
the answer to our question
already
• We may think the answer is
obvious, common sense even
• But until we have subjected our
problem to rigorous scientific
scrutiny, our 'knowledge' remains
little more than guesswork or at
best, intuition.
