  Features of a Good Research Design It is a challenge to translate general scientific model into a practical research operation. Therefore, designing a research study is not a simple task. There is nothing like completely correct design or completely incorrect design. A design may work very well for one research problem and may not work at all for the other. There are some features, however, a good research design should possess. They are: 1.      Freedom from bias: A good research design should ensure that the method of data collection and analysis would not cause the data to vary in a systematic way. That is to say that the data should be free from systematic errors. 2.      Freedom from confounding: In a good research design the variables involved in the study are separated from each other so that they do not influence each other. 3.      Control of extraneous variables: In a well-designed research study t...

  Meaning of Research Design A research design is a controlling plan for a research study in which the methods and procedures for collecting and analyzing the information to be collected is specified. It is a framework or plan for study that guides the collection and analysis of data. The word ‘design’ means to work out the structure of form’, as by making a sketch or plan. Thus, ‘Research Design’ is planning a strategy or drawing a blue print of conducting research. It is a guideline for collecting and utilizing data so that desired information can be obtained with sufficient precision and hypothesis can be tested properly. A research is designed for the purpose of producing results that may be applied to real world situations. It not only enables a researcher to anticipate potential problems that can occur during the actual operation of the research, but also to limit boundaries of research study. Definitions of Research Design Some of the popular definitions of research ...

  Defining a Research Problem Research is a disciplined approach to inquiry. It is a tool for testing as well as generating theories. Every research plan is unique in itself and has its unique research problems. An old saying is, “a problem well defined is a problem half solved”. By defining research problem, we mean a systematic way of asking and answering research questions. Meaningful, productive and useful research depends on the development of appropriate research questions, the identification of appropriate constructs and confidence we can have in our findings. There are two main steps in defining a research problem : 1.      Formulation of the problem 2.      Establishment of research objectives Formulation of a problem is the most important step in a research process. A clear statement of the problem is a key to good research. A firm may spend hundreds or thousands of rupees conducting research, but if it has not correctl...

  Meaning of Research  Problem   Research is a scientific, systematic and purposeful search, for new knowledge or for re-interpretation of existing knowledge. It is a journey, which starts with a problem and ends with a solution. Identifying a research problem is the first and foremost step in a research process. The statement of research problem is the axis around which the whole research revolves, because it explains in brief the aims and objectives of the research. A research problem is a specific statement in the general area of investigation. It is a precise identification of a problem situation in a certain context involving what, why, who, where and when of the problem area. 1.      Who– means the person or business organization that is facing a problem. 2.      Why– means that there is a purpose, goal aim or objective to solve this problem. 3.      How– means the options of actions one can take ...
