Research is the detail study of a specific problem, concern, or issue using scientific method. The research process model presented eight-step. These steps are important and crucial for every research in any case of the field and the topic. The tools and techniques used to carry out a research can be different, but every research follows the same steps, these are under below.
Step 1 formulating a research problem:
This step is very important step in research to general topic or problem has been identified, it is also called research problem that is, taken from just a statement about a problematic situation to a clearly defined researchable problem that identifies the issues that are trying to address. It is not always easy to formulate the …show more content…

The construction of a research instrument is the first ‘practical’ step in carrying out a study. First it will need to decide how you are going to collect data for the proposed study and then construct a research instrument for data collection. There are various methods of data collection for qualitative and quantitative studies and the process of developing a research instrument. If the planning to collect data specifically for your study (primary data), it need either to construct a research instrument or to select one that has already been constructed. There are methods for collecting data using attitudinal scales. There are the concepts of validity and reliability in relation to a research instrument. If are using secondary data (information already collected for other purposes), it will be needed to identify what information is needed and then develop a form to extract the required data. In order to determine what information is required, it will need to go through the same process as for primary data, described above. Field testing (or pre-testing) a research tool is an integral part of instrument construction. As a rule, the pre-test of a research instrument should not be carried out on the sample of your study population but on a similar population which …show more content…

This overall plan, called a research proposal, it tells a reader about the research problem and how you are planning to investigate. Broadly, a research proposal’s main function is to detail the operational plan for obtaining answers to the research questions. In doing so it ensures, and reassures the readers of, the validity of the methodology to obtain answers accurately and objectively. Requirements may also vary within an institution, from discipline to discipline or from supervisor to supervisor. A research proposal must tell you and your research supervisor and a reviewer the following information about your study, what you are proposing to do how you plan to precede; why you selected the proposed
