Research Design Essentials

Research design is the framework and methodology used to conduct a research study. It determines the methods and techniques used to address the research problem. There are three main types of research design: data collection, measurement, and data analysis. The research problem will dictate the appropriate design. An effective research design considers the study aims, chooses a design type, identifies the population and sampling, selects data collection methods, and plans the procedures and timeline. Key aspects of research design include an accurate purpose statement, data collection and analysis techniques, the analysis method, research methodology, potential objections, study settings, and measurement of analysis.

Research Design

Research design is the framework of research methods and techniques chosen by


a researcher to conduct a study. The design allows researchers to sharpen the
research methods suitable for the subject matter and set up their studies for
success.

Creating a research topic explains the type of research (experimental, survey


research, correlational, semi-experimental, review) and its sub-type
(experimental design, research problem, descriptive case study).

There are three main types of designs for research:

 Data collection
 Measurement

 Data Analysis
The research problem an organization faces will determine the design, not vice-
versa. The design phase of a study determines which tools to use and how they
are used.

The Process of Research Design

The research design process is a systematic and structured approach to


conducting research. The process is essential to ensure that the study is valid,
reliable, and produces meaningful results.

1. Consider your aims and approaches


2. Choose a type of Research Design
3. Identify your population and sampling method
4. Choose your data collection methods
5. Plan your data collection procedures:

Research Design Elements

Impactful research usually creates a minimum bias in data and increases trust in
the accuracy of collected data. A design that produces the slightest margin of
error in experimental research is generally considered the desired outcome. The
essential elements are:

1. Accurate purpose statement


2. Techniques to be implemented for collecting and analyzing research
3. The method applied for analyzing collected details
4. Type of research methodology
5. Probable objections to research
6. Settings for the research study
7. Timeline
8. Measurement of analysis

Characteristics of Research Design

There are four key characteristics:

Neutrality : Reliability : Validity : Generalization

Research Design Types

Qualitative research Quantitative research

Other types
1. Descriptive: In a descriptive composition, a researcher is solely interested in
describing the situation or case under their research study.

2. Experimental: Experimental research establishes a relationship between the


cause and effect of a situation.

[Link] research: Correlational research is a non-experimental


research technique. It helps researchers establish a relationship between two
closely connected variables.
4. Diagnostic research: In diagnostic design, the researcher is looking to evaluate
the primary cause of a specific topic or phenomenon. This design has three parts
of the research:

Inception of the issue : Diagnosis of the issue Solution for the issue

5. Explanatory research: Explanatory design uses a researcher’s ideas and


thoughts on a subject to further explore their theories. The study explains
unexplored aspects of a subject and details the research questions’ what, how,
and why.

Benefits of Research Design

There are several benefits of having a well-designed research plan. Including:

Clarity of research objectives : Increased validity and reliability

Improved data collection : Better data analysis:

Improved communication : Efficient use of resources

Conclusion

Research design can be thought of as the structure of research. It is the ‘’ GLUE ‘’


that holds all of the elements in a research project together.
