there could be many affecting factors. In a study
of cause and effect relationships one has to
link
effects with causes and causes with effects.
·
Establishment of
this linkage is impossible unless
it is
a laboratory test. Therefore instead of
controlling external factors we
have to quantify
the impact of such factors.
·
It is rigorous. Procedures
followed to find
answers to a problem
must be relevant, appropriate
and justifiable. Researcher needs to be very
careful about this.
·
It is systematic. Procedures
adopted for a
research should follow a logical
sequence.
Some procedures must follow others.
·
It should be valid and verifiable.
Your
research conclusion based on findings should
be correct and can be verified by you as well as others.
·
It is empirical. The conclusions of the research should be based
on evidence gathered from information collected from real life
experiences/ observations
·
It is critical. Research
procedures and methods applied should withstand
critical analysis. They must be foolproof
and free from drawbacks
·
Research gathers new knowledge or data from primary or firsthand sources. It is not research when one simply restates or
reorganizes what is already known or what has been written.
·
Research is expert, systematic and accurate
investigation. The researcher tries to secure an expertise before undertaking any investigations.
·
Research is patient and unhurried.
The researcher is willing to make pains
taking effort. He works patiently towards sound conclusions. He realizes
the significant findings don’t come as
result of hurried and careless procedures.
·
Research requires courage. The
researcher is not afraid of unpleasant
consequences of his findings. He has the guts to seek and record the
truth. He is willing to follow his
procedures to conclusions that may be unpopular and brings social
disapprovals.
·
Research places emphasis on discovery of general principles and
scientific generalization that can be
applied to the solution to the wide range of the problems.
