Explain the research process with help of 8 steps model.
The topic of research may be anything for example it can be related to any health topic business topic
national economy ,education or any disease or habit you can change the example according to the
requirements .....in the following Research Process Exercise Habit example is taken :
Problem Identification:
Researcher first need to identify a problem. The research problem may be something the
agency identifies as a problem, some knowledge or information that is needed by the agency.
Problem can be based on different things related to health issues, wealth or business etc.
Literature Review:
The researcher must learn more about the topic under Investigation. To do this, the researcher
must review the literature related to the research problem. This step is the foundation of the problem
area. The review of literature also tells the researcher about what studies have been conducted in the
past, and the conclusions in the problem area. In the Exercise habit study, the review of literature
enables the researcher to discover statistics related to the long-term effects of childhood Exercise habit in terms of health issues and to combat various diseases.
Problem Clarification:
In this the researcher clarifies the problem. This can only be done after literature review, it guides the
researcher in clarifying and narrowing the research project. In the example, the programmer has identified childhood the Exercise habits the problem and the purpose of the study. This topic could be studied based on genetics. The programmer has decided that the purpose of the study is to determine if exercising everyday will improve the individual’s health.
Terms and Concepts:
It differs depending on who is reading the study. In the Exercise habit study the individual’s health is defined as physical health problem. The concept of physical health may also be defined and measured in many ways. In this case, the programmer decides to more narrowly define “individual health” to refer to the areas of weight, percentage of body fat, and cholesterol. By defining the terms or concepts more narrowly, make the concepts more understandable to the reader.
Population:
In this we can take a look on a specific group of people. First, it narrows the scope of the study.
Second, the population identifies the group that the researcher’s efforts will be focused on within the study.Finally, the researcher Identifies the group that the results will apply to at the conclusion of the study.
Instrumentation Plan:
It is the Base for the entire Research, specifying who will participate in the study; how, when, and where data will be collected.In the Exercise habit study, the researcher has decided to have the children participate in a exercise program for some period. The group of participants is called the sample selected from the population specified for the study. The researcher develops the plan for the walking program, indicating what data will be collected, when and how the data will be collected, who will collect the data, and how the data will be analyzed.
Data Collection:
Collection of data can be done through online survey, with a questionnaire, through observations, or from the literature. In the Exercise habit, the programmers will be collecting data on the defined variables, weight, percentage of body fat, cholesterol levels, and the number of days the person walked a total of 5,000 steps during the class.
Data Analyzation:
After collecting the required data the researcher finally have to analyze the data. In the Exercise habit, the researcher elaborate the measurements of weight, percentage of body fat, and cholesterol that were taken at the first meeting of the subjects to the measurements of the same variables at the final program session. The results of the study also provide valuable information about one strategy to combat childhood Exercise habit in the community.
