The document outlines the purpose, processes, characteristics, and methodologies of research, emphasizing its cyclical nature and the importance of problem-solving. It also distinguishes the traits of effective researchers and software developers, highlighting qualities such as intellectual curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking. Additionally, it categorizes various types of research designs, including historical, descriptive, and experimental designs, and discusses the significance of a well-structured research methodology.
Methods of Research - Research and Design (Module 1)
- 1. MODULE 1 RESEARCH AND DESIGN
- 2. INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOME • Classify, differentiate or demonstrate the purposes, types and characteristics of research designs and methodologies.
- 3. The Meaning of Research • It is an organized way of solving a problem or establishing the answer to a query • It is the manner by which the individual articulates the meaning of facts and data.
- 4. Research as a Process RESEARCH IS A CYCLIC PROCESS Research begins with an unanswered question in the mind of the researcher 1 Research sees the goal in a clear statement of the problem Research subdivides the problem into appropriate sub-problems 4 Research poses tentative solutions to the problem(s) through appropriate hypotheses 3 2 Research looks for the fact directed by the hypotheses and guided by the problem 5 Research interprets the meaning of the facts which leads to the resolution of the problem 6

- 19. Research Design • Research design involves a set ofResearch design involves a set of decisions regarding what topic is todecisions regarding what topic is to be studied, among what populationbe studied, among what population or in what specific technologyor in what specific technology application, with what researchapplication, with what research method, and for what purpose.method, and for what purpose.

- 21. Uses of Historical Design • Historical Research is useful in searching through the past for solutions to contemporary problems and needs. • It is used to throw light on the present. • It gives people a sense of continuity of the past to the present. • It enables communities to grasp their relationship with the past to the current issues.
- 22. Uses of Historical Design • By chronicling events of enduring worth which confers upon the individual consciousness of unity and feeling of the importance of human achievement.

- 34. Characteristics of a Good Research Method • Theory-Grounded: Reflects the theories which are being investigated • Situational: Indicates the settings or conditions of the investigation • Feasible: Can be implemented • Redundant: Provides multiple processing particularly for validation • Efficient: Maintains a balance between redundancy and the tendency to over-design
