Define 'literature review'. - Answer✔A review of the existing evidence and relevant theoretical
thinking on the research topic.
Define 'hypothesis'. - Answer✔An estimated outcome/research finding(s) of the testable
subtopics of the overall area of interest.
Define 'research plan'. - Answer✔An outline of the research topics, hypotheses and a narrow
declaration of the focus and scope of the study.
List the 9 components of research in approximate order. - Answer✔"1) research question
2) literature review
3) hypothesis
4) research plan
5) pilot study
6) data collection
7) data analysis
8) reporting
9) identification of future research""
"
Who decides on the details of the research plan, methodology, samples, settings, data
collection tools, procedures and analysis? - Answer✔The researcher

Define 'basic research'. - Answer✔Research (academic research) that originates from curiosity
and aims at creating new knowledge or adding to the existing knowledge
"Compare basic and applied research:
a) _______ research involves more theoretical thinking than ___________ research.
b) _________ research focuses more on real problems in real settings.
c) Research questions and problems in ________ research come from real, practical settings
and may need quick answers.
d) _______ researchers are compelled to think on multiple levels due to the real settings of
their studies. Therefore, _______ research is more likely to use the triangulation of multiple
research methods.
e) ___________ research is subject to stricter time constraints.""" - Answer✔"a) basic, applied
b) applied
c) applied
d) Applied, applied
e) applied""
"
Both applied and basic research represent acquiring knowledge scientifically. Why does this
make these research methods equally valuable? - Answer✔Scientific and empirical acquisition
of data adds a validity and reliability to the data collected. It also adds a level of universal value
to the data and the research process because it is measured, observed and repeatable.
List the major qualities defining empirical data. - Answer✔Information that can be directly
sensed and is demonstrable to other people
seen, heard, touched, tasted, smelled - Answer✔
