    Research – the systematic investigation into and study of materials and sources in order
    to establish facts and reach new conclusions;
     A careful consideration of study regarding a particular concern or problem
    using scientific methods.
     A systematic inquiry to describe, explain, predict and control observed
    phenomenon – Earl Robert Babbie, Sociologist
     Creation of new knowledge and/or the use of existing knowledge in a new
    and creative way so as to generate new concepts, methodologies and
    understandings
     Synthesis and analysis of previous research to the extent that it leads to new
    and creative outcomes.
    Why conduct Research?
    There are three applied research courses – PR1, PR2, and III
    The main purpose of research
    1. To inform action
    2. To prove a theory
    3. To contribute to developing knowledge in a field of study
    Importance of Research
    1. A tool for building knowledge and for facilitating learning
    2. Means to understand various issues and increase public awareness
    3. An aid to business success
    4. A way to prove lies and support truths
    5. Means to find, gauge and seize opportunities

    Research in a Nutshell
    1. To confirm/validate existing knowledge
    2. To negate/challenge existing knowledge
    3. To contribute to existing knowledge
    4. To improve the quality of life (applied research/technology-driven research)
    Descriptive-Statistical Method – combination of qualitative and quantitative methods
     One method is given priority over the other
    Things to Consider in choosing a topic
    1. Scope. You may need to start broad and let your research take you narrower.
