, QUESTION 1Research refers to the systematic process of
investigating a specific topic to generate new knowledge, validate
existing theories, or find solutions to problems. Methodology, on
the other hand, refers to the strategies, techniques, and tools used
to conduct research effectively. We conduct research to expand
knowledge, make informed decisions, address societal issues, and
develop evidence-based solutions. Research also aids in policy
formulation, technological advancement, and academic progress.

. QUESTION 1 In your own words, explain what research and methodology is
and why we conduct research. [5] QUESTION 2 What are some of the
techniques that an inexperienced researcher can apply so as to avoid errors
when writing a literature review? [10] QUESTION 3 Scenario There have been
several recent burglaries in a neighbourhood in Centurion. As a result, the
residents hired FirstRate Security, where you are a security manager, to help
protect their homes and neighbourhood from burglars. After registering for a
Master’s degree in security management at Unisa, you decide to conduct
research on home burglaries in this neighbourhood. Of particular interest to
you is the incidence of housebreakings, as well as the security precautions
that residents in this area have already taken. The objective of your study is
to identify what security measures are already in place and how effectively
they are applied, and to analyse the types of housebreaking incidents that
take place within this neighbourhood with a view to providing advice on
securing against them. In addition, you would like to set up a security
awareness programme for the residents in this area to encourage them to be
more careful about protecting themselves and their property. Based on this
scenario, answer the following questions: 3.1 Which research approach
would be most suitable for this study, and why? (5) 3.2 Describe the
sampling procedure and related technique/s that you will use in this study,
explaining how they will be practically implemented. (5) 3.3 Determine and
discuss the best method/s for collecting raw data for this research study.
(10) 3.4 Describe how the collected data will be analysed. (10) [30]
QUESTION 4 Write an essay in which you compare the data collection
methods used in the qualitative and quantitative research approaches. [25]
