The Research Process

Phase III: Conducting a research study


 Step VI: collecting data
 Having formulated a research problem, developed a study design,
constructed a research instrument and selected a sample, you then
collect the data from which you will draw inferences and conclusions for
your study.
 Many methods could be used to gather the required information.

The Research Process
 Step VI: collecting data
 As a part of the research design, you decided upon the procedure you
wanted to adopt to collect your data.
 In this phase you actually collect the data. For example, depending upon
your plans, you might commence interviews, mail out a questionnaire,
conduct nominal/focus group discussions or make observations.

The Research Process
Step VII: processing and displaying data
 Qualitative–quantitative distinction, it is important for data analysis
that you consider whether the data is to be analyzed manually or by a
computer.
 If your study is purely descriptive, you can write your
dissertation/report on the basis of your field notes, manually analyze
the contents of your notes (content analysis).

Step VII: processing and displaying data
 If you want quantitative analysis, it is also necessary to decide upon
the type of analysis required (i.e. frequency distribution, or other
statistical procedures, such as regression analysis, correlation and
analysis of variance) and how it should be presented.
 You will also need to identify the variables to be subjected to these
statistical procedures.

The Research Process
 Step VIII: Writing a research report
 There are two broad categories of reports: quantitative and
qualitative.
 As mentioned earlier, the distinction is more academic than real as in
most studies you need to combine quantitative and qualitative skills.
 Writing the report is the last and, for many, the most difficult step of
the research process.
 This report informs the world what you have done, what you have
discovered and what conclusions you have drawn from your findings.

Research Process

 Step VIII: Writing a research report


 If you are clear about the whole process, you will also be clear about the
way you want to write your report.
 Your report should be written in an academic style and be divided into
different chapters and/or sections based upon the main themes of your
study.
