This process is one in which nearly all people engage in the course of their daily lives.

(a)  

According to him, the main difference between our day to day generalisations and conclutions usually recognised as scientific method lies in the degree of formality, rigorousness, verifiability and general validity of the latter.

(a)  

he defines research as "a systematic investigation to find answers to a problem"

(a)  

According to him, scientific research is a systematic, controlled emiprical and critical investigation of propositions about the presumed relationship about various phenomena.

(a)  

he states that, "Nevertheless sociological research, as research, is primarily committed to establishing systematic, reliable and valid knowledge about the social world."

(a)  

is a process for collecting, analysing and interpreting information to answer questions.

(a)  

in this study, it is important to be able to link the effects with the causes and vice versa

(a)  

In this study, the establishment of this linkage is esstential: however, in practice, particularly in the social science, it is extremely difficult and often impossible to make the link

(a)  

in this characteristic, you must be scrupulous in ensuring that the procedures followed to find answers to questions are relevant, appropriate and justified.

(a)  

This implies that the procedures adopted to undertaken an investigation follow a certain logical sequence. the different steps cannot be taken in a haphazard way, some procedure must follow others.

(a)  

This concept implies that whatever you conclude on the basis of your findings is correct and can be verified by you and others.

(a)  

This means that any conclusions drawn are based upon hard evidence gathered from information collected from real life experiences or observations.

(a)  

The process of investigation must be foolproof and free from any drawbacks. the process adopted and the procedures used must be able to withstand critical scrutiny.

(a)  

In this type of research, it aims to discover new knowledge

(a)  

In this type of research, it defines what is being studied and describe the phenomena of intereset.

(a)  

In this type of research, it focuses on the cause and/or effects of a phenomenon. it aims to develop theory

(a)  

In this type of research, it's central purpose is to solve an immediate problem.

(a)  

In this type of research, it seeks to find out how people behave or get along under various conditions, what meanings they give to their actions, and what issues concern them.

(a)  

In this type of research, it pays attention to the impact of particular policies or programs.

(a)  

In this type of research, it involves developing and testing theories and hypotheses that are intellectually challenging to the researcher but may or may not have practical application at the present time or in the future.

(a)  

It attempts to describe systematically a situation, problem, phenomenon, service or programme, or provides informations about, say, the living conditions of a community, or describes attitudes towards an issue.

(a)  

it aims to discover or establish the existence of a relationship/association/interdependence between two or more aspects of a situation. e.g. (what is the impact of an advertising campaign on the sale of a product?)

(a)  

it attempts to clarify why and how there is a relationship between two aspects of a situation or phenomenon. this type of research attempts to explain, for example why stressful living results in heart attacks?

(a)  

It is a study which determine its feasibility

(a)  

In this approach, everything that forms the research process-objectives, design, sample, and the questions that you plan to ask of respondents- is predetermined.

(a)  

in this approach, it allows flexibility in all these aspects of the process. this is predominantly used to explore its nature, in other words, variation/diversity per se in a phenomenon, issue problem or attitude towards an issue.

(a)  

This takes architecture as its subject matter (e.g., historical research, building performance studies)

(a)  

this approach it more appropriate to determine the extent of a problem, issue or phenomenon.

(a)  

it is aimed at future applications (e.g., new materials, technologies)

(a)  

It uses design and production as part of the research methodology

(a)  

In this type of research, it observes or collect data over multiple time points.

(a)  

In this type of research, data is collected, at a single point in time or over a short period of time.

(a)  

aims at establishing cause and effect relationship among variable

(a)  

it identify similarities and differences between units at all levels

(a)
