Research Process and Ethics

The video tutorial explains the research process as an iterative cycle, starting with formulating a research problem, conducting a literature review, and developing research questions and frameworks. It covers designing research, including methods and ethical considerations, followed by data collection and analysis. Finally, it emphasizes the importance of reporting findings to the research community.

What is a key characteristic of the research process?

• It is a linear process.

• It is an iterative cycle.

• It is a random sequence.

• It is a one-time event.

What is the first step in the research process?

• Formulating a research problem

• Reviewing literature

• Collecting data

• Analyzing data

Why is it important to review existing literature?

• To find new research topics

• To evaluate existing theories and identify gaps

• To make the research process faster

• To avoid reading unnecessary information

What does developing a research framework involve?

• Reviewing existing literature

• Collecting data from participants

• Reporting findings to the community

• Creating a structural map for the research

What is the role of hypotheses in research?

• To provide a tentative answer or direction

• To report findings

• To review literature

• To collect data

What is a crucial consideration when designing research involving participants?

• Writing a detailed report

• Selecting a research topic

• Obtaining ethics approval

• Choosing the right data analysis software

What is the purpose of analyzing and interpreting data?

• To review existing literature

• To formulate research questions

• To collect more data

• To identify themes or patterns

What is the final step in the research process?

• Collecting data

• Reviewing literature

• Reporting findings

• Formulating hypotheses

What should be done before conducting research involving sensitive information?

• Formulating research questions

• Analyzing data

• Reviewing literature

• Obtaining ethics approval

How can research findings be effectively disseminated?

• By keeping them confidential

• By sharing them with the research community

• By ignoring them

• By only discussing them with friends
