always a simple question can lead to a groundbreaking discovery if we put the idea to the test of the real world and find out how viable the idea was well that's the work of research it starts with curiosity and ends with answers that can change the world from defining the problem to reporting the findings each step is a puzzle piece in the grand picture of understanding if you're ready to unravel the mysteries of research and its process keep watching so what is research process the research process is a systematic methodical approach that guides us from the initial curiosity to a structured search for answers it's not a haphazard hunt it's a strategic step by step expedition into the unknown picture the research process as a grand expedition into the unknown researchers embark on this journey to explore uncharted territories of knowledge armed with tools of inquiry and analysis it's a process that demands rigor creativity and critical thinking transforming vague ideas into well defined conclusions step 1 identifying the research problem imagine you're a detective and you've just stumbled upon a mystery this is where our research journey begins with a problem that peaks our interest in the realm of research this is known as identifying the research problem it's not just about finding any problem though it's about discovering a puzzle that's both intriguing and researchable think of it as the seed from which the entire research tree will grow step 2 reviewing of literature now you wouldn't start a journey without a map would you similarly in research before we set off to solve our problem we need to review the literature before embarking on a new journey it's wise to learn from those who travel before us this is where reviewing the literature comes in it involves delving into existing research understanding past findings and identifying what's been done and what's still unknown this step is like gathering the best maps and guides for our journey it helps in refining the research problem and developing a theoretical framework it's a crucial step that lays the groundwork for new discoveries step 3 setting research questions objectives and hypotheses setting clear goals is vital for any successful expedition in research this involves formulating specific questions objectives and hypotheses these elements act as a compass dining the researcher through the wilderness of data and information research questions define what we seek to understand objectives outline the aims of the study and hypotheses are educated guesses that the research will test this step ensures that the research stays focused and relevant for more in depth understanding about research questions search IED no research questions on Google or Bing we have free articles for Research Methodology course and studies Step 4 choosing the study design choosing the right vehicle for our journey is crucial in research this is akin to selecting the study design it's the blueprint of our journey outlining the rule will take and the methods will use to gather our data will it be a survey an experiment or perhaps an observational study the choice depends on our research question and the resources at our disposal step 5 deciding on the sample design imagine you're throwing a dart a map to decide where it go in research we call this sampling it's about deciding which part of the population will study to make inferences about the whole it's a critical step because if our sample isn't representative we might end up exploring the wrong territory if this journey through the research process is fascinating you please subscribe and like this video this helps us with algorithm and encourages us to make more videos step 6 collecting data from the research sample now the adventure truly begins we're out in the field collecting data this is where the rubber meets the road whether it's through surveys interviews or experiments this is the phase where we gather the pieces of the puzzle we're trying to solve step 7 process and analyze the collective research data data in hand it's time to make sense of it all processing and analyzing the data is like piecing together a complex jigsaw puzzle it's where we look for patterns test our hypotheses and start to draw conclusions it's a meticulous and often challenging part of the journey but also incredibly rewarding step 8 writing research report imagine you've just returned from an epic journey you're bringing with stories and insights in research this is where we write our research report it's our way of sharing our adventure with the world from the background of the problem to our findings and recommendations this report is a comprehensive account of our entire journey research process is a journey of discovery from identifying a problem to sharing our findings with the world it's a cycle of curiosity exploration and revelation and just like any great journey it's not just about the destination but also about the path we take to get there so what research journey will you embark on next and as you ponder your next research adventure think about this what mysteries are weighing out there for you to uncover the world of research is vast and full of wonders just waiting for the next curious mind to explore it check our website idnot com and watch this next video where we go through the best training research ideas of this season see you in the next video
