Research+process+by+Crystal

The diagram in Activity 6 shows the process of research described by a university lecturer as follows:

First of all, before starting a research project, we have three ways of getting sources of research ideas. We can to choose the ways of previous research, personal experience or curiosity. After decision making, we could easily set up the statement of research question accordingly.

Following this process, we then come to decide what kind of design research methodology we would use. It is so important as it could further help us to identify readership afterwards. It was because it could help us to focuse on what kinds of sources of information we needed. Also, it can speed up the process of choosing method of obtaining it. Furthermore, the following steps of data collection can enhance the process in a more effective and efficiency way.

After that, we can analyse the data we have collected. Finally, it could contribute to us to make the research project steps by steps through making the findings, drawing the conclusion, providing recommendation and completing the implications.

The above procedure helped us to complete a whole process of completing a research project as the university lecturer explained.
