The Definition of research design
The research design is a plan, structure and strategy of
investigation so conceived as to obtain answers to research
questions or problems. The plan is the complete scheme or
program of the research. It includes an outline of what the
investigator will do from writing the hypotheses and their
operational implications to the final analysis of data.
(Kerlinger)
A traditional research design is a blue print or detailed plan
for how a research study is to be completed-
operationalizing variables so they can be measured,
selecting a sample of interest to study, collecting data to be
used as basis for testing hypotheses, and analyzing the
results. (Thyer)
