Week 002 Module The Research Process

The document discusses the research process, which generally begins with identifying a research problem and formulating specific objectives. It then outlines the essential phases of research: systematically solving problems using scientific methods and a series of interconnected phases. The document provides guidance for conducting research, such as framing the topic as a question and considering aspects like who, what, when, where, why and how. Finally, it presents the flow chart of the research process, which includes 10 steps from identifying problems/objectives to summarizing conclusions and recommendations.

[The Research Process]

The Research Process

Generally speaking, a research process starts with a research problem, which


the researcher has identified as researchable and has implications to
government trusts. Based on is identified major problem, he formulates the
specific problems/objectives of the study. He constructs a theoretical
framework or conceptual framework as basis for describing properly the
relationships of variables to the used in the study. He sates the assumptions
vividly to provide the foundation of the study.
At the end of the topic the students should be able to:
1. Discuss the essential phases of the research process;
2. Discuss the guide in conducting research; and
3. Discus the flowchart of the research process.

Essential Phases of the Research Process


If one would like to have truthful information on world around, on nature, on
human being, he/she have to look for convincing data. Collecting such data is
process complicated, and complex and due to this very difficult. For layman
or even for medical student at the beginning of her/his professional career
can seem this statement hypertrophic, overshot, and not very probable. Their
view will change quickly when they are involved in research (even very
simple). It is generally accepted that reliable information on human health
state are necessary for prevention of disease development and disease
treatment. Only way how to obtain such information is research in which are
used scientific methods and it is done by qualified and experienced scientists.

Generally, research is understood as systematic, controlled, empiric and


critical investigation of hypothetic statements on supposed relationships
among phenomenon. It is a process in which thinking is dominant.
Characteristic features of research are:
– Systematic solving of scientific problems
– using scientific methods
– System of interconnecting phases and steps

The research process should be understood as one of ongoing planning,


searching, discovery, reflection, synthesis, revision, and learning.

Course Module
Guide in Conducting Research

To conduct proper research, one needs to realize that conducting research


cannot be done in a haphazard manner. To organize or focus the search, the
process needs to be keyword driven; what you retrieve from a search will be
dependent upon the computations you put on the search field. Therefore; It is
advisable to put your topic in question form first Then ask some basic questions
 What is the main idea of my paper?  What specific ideas am I trying to
describe or prove?  What academic discipline does my topic fit into?  What
specific aspect of the topic do I wish to consider? Also try to answer the where,
when who why and how of your topic.

Glossary
Research process – this is a process wherein you need to have different skills
like planning, organizing and the like in order to come up good research.
