PART 1: INTRODUCTION THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD
Definition of Research Research is a systematic and rigorous process of enquiry that aims to describe, process and develop explanatory concepts and theories in order to contribute to a scientific body of knowledge. Its main purpose is the discovery of truth (Bowling, 2004).
Definition of Research • The word research implies that the person has ”to search again”, to take another careful look, to find out more (Selltiz and Other, 1976). • This may be done because what one already knows may not be enough, misleading or totally wrong. • Research is a systematic, controlled, empirical and critical investigation of natural phenomena guided by theory and hypothesis about the presumed relations among such phenomena (Kerlinger, 1986)
