RESEARCH PROCESS:
Following a process to do research would lead to a good research paper. We have a step by step processes to do a research such as,
- Developing research idea & hypothesis
- Choosing research design
- Choosing Participants
- Conducting Study
- Analyzing the results
- Reporting the results
The below picture describes the research processes used.
Researches are obviously done to arrive at some qualitative and/or quantitative results that can be used to depict something new to this world. In the below picture, the researcher announces with excitement that they have found something.
Its great fun to play a research game as shown below. It takes us through the various research processes in sequence.
DATA COLLECTION METHODS:
This is the methods that you choose for conducting your research study contributes major role towards the accuracy and validity of your study. Inaccurate data collection can impact the results of a study and ultimately lead to invalid results.
Conducting Pencil-Paper or online web-based survey is one of the data collection methods used by researchers for analyzing people's opinion or feedback about a particular event/system.
A good survey questionnaire should be constructed such that people can answer it without anyone’s help. While answering the question people shouldn’t get confused in which category they belong, so options provided should not overlap and cover full range of possible choices.
The below cartoon depicts the confusion while choosing an option
Survey questionnaires even help to gather the user experience by quantifying them using scale options. The below cartoon depicts the same.
