1. CHARACTERISTICS OF RESEARCH PRACTICAL RESEARCH 1 QUALITATIVE RESEARCH METHODA

2. RESEARCH is defined as the scientific investigation of phenomena which includes collection, presentation, analysis and interpretation of facts that lines an individual’s speculation with reality.

3. Following the major definition of research as the scientific investigation of phenomena which includes collection, presentation, analysis and interpretation of facts , strict adherence to ethical standards in planning and conducting in both qualitative and quantitative research is most important.

4. Research is based on direct experience or observation by the researcher. EMPIRICAL

5. Research is based on valid procedures and principles. LOGICAL

6. Research is a cyclical process because it starts with a problem and ends with a problem. CYCLICAL

7. Research utilizes proven analytical procedures in gathering the data, whether historical, descriptive, and experimental and case study ANALYTICAL

8. Research exhibits careful and precise judgment. CRITICAL

9. Research is conducted in a methodical manner without bias using systematic method and procedures. METHODICAL

10. The research design and procedures are replicated or repeated to enable the researcher to arrive at valid and conclusive results. REPLICABILITY

11. ETHICS and RESEARCH

12. The most common way of defining “ethics” is to refer as norms for conduct that distinguish between acceptable and unacceptable behavior. These are direct networks among people because they recognize some common ethical norms but interpret, apply, and balance them in different ways in the light of their own values and experiences ( Resmik , 2015).

13. FUNCTIONS OF ETHICS

14. Norms promote the aims of research such as knowledge, truth and evidence of error. 2. Ethical standards promote the values that are essential to collaborative work such as trust, accountability, mutual respect and fairness.

15. 3. Ethical norms ensure that researchers can be held accountable to the public. 4. Ethical norms in research, is research that helps build public support quality and integrity of research.

16. ETHICAL CONSIDERATION When doing a qualitative inquiry, certain issues may arise. Let us consider ethical issues that may be inherent in qualitative research.

17. 1. The kind of information obtained because of the length and personal interaction that ensues when doing a qualitative inquiry may give rise to an issue or issues. 2. With regard to the researcher’s relationship to the participants, the researcher is expected to act professionally, maintaining respect towards them.

18. 3. The researcher is expected to give back to the subjects/participants of the research and to show appreciation for their commitment of time, effort, and cooperation. 4. The researcher writes a letter and seeks to be allowed to conduct a study
