 creating the context of 2. Research the subject area.

your research 3. Determine what types of questions researchers

have and have not answered in the existing
literature. (This process helps to narrow the broad
topic down to a more specific research question.)
4. Arrive at the area of your interest for research and
justify your choice.
5. Is your research answering a new question or try
to replicate previous research?

 Define the Problem and 6. Based on the above steps, formulate a research
Research Question. question. This is the question your study is
attempting to answer.
 7. Keep the scope of the inquiry narrow enough that
your research can reasonably answer it using
available time and resources.

 Literature Review. 8. After you explain your research question, you should
demonstrate that you have conducted an in-depth
review of the literature.
9. The literature review here has two purposes
a. First purpose

Define the current state of scientific knowledge

surrounding your research question. This content
justifies how your study fits within the field, enables
you to understand the thought processes behind
similar studies, and provides you with a general sense
of the findings thus far.

b. Second purpose

Support your action plan with respect to research

method adopted by you.
  What data did similar studies collect? Which
variables?
 How did they measure the variables?
 How did they draw their sample?
 What methods did they use to analyze the data?
Which analyses and experimental designs?

Purpose one

Purpose two

Should explain the following elements of your

research design

research methodology  What did you measure?
 How did you measure it?
 How did you collect a sample?
 The size of the sample, and
Operationalize Phase.
 How did you analyze the data?

 Define your variables and
measurement techniques.
10. Variables: What Did You Measure?
8a. Explain which are the variables you have taken
to measure to answer your research question.
8b. You must define the variables that you will
measure operationally

12. Justify the precision and accuracy of the scales

measured them.)

1. Data Collection. 13. Researchers must specify the

particular population they have studied.
14. After you define your population, you need
explain and justify your method collecting a
sample from that population. (Literature reviews
will often reveal sample collection
methodologies)
 15. Explain with justification the sample size chosen
by you for the research.
16. Explain where and how did you collect the
sample, including the date and time, location, and
so on.

2. Statistical analysis of 17. define your hypothesis in a form amenable to

data and draw statistical analysis
conclusions. 18. Justify the statistical analyses that can adequately
test your hypotheses.
19. Explain what significance level have you
chosen? One-tailed or two-tailed hypothesis tests?
3. Communicate the 20. After explaining the data collection and analysis,

results. you need to write up the results to inform other

researchers about what you’ve found.
21. Indicate which hypotheses the data support, the
overall conclusions

4. Discussions 22. What they represent in the framework of the

scientific field or real-world setting. However, it
involves more than just writing up the findings.

Also, you may give some directions for future

research that can be carried as an extension of your
research
