“Research may be defined as a method of
studying problems whose solutions are to be derived partly or wholly from
facts.”

method of analysis. It involves a
more systematic structure of investigation,
usually resulting in some sort of formal record of procedures and a report of

facilitate reliable and valid study of human behavior.”
