The document discusses that research requires different levels of thinking from simple to complex. The initial topic selection and research questions determined through this thinking will strongly impact the success of the research work. The lesson then outlines seven steps to starting a quantitative study, including designing useful research, writing a title, describing background, stating questions, scoping the study, citing benefits, and presenting the problem statement.

In research, you are prone to thinking in various levels
that range from the simplest to the most complex modes or
patterns of thinking. Your initial thinking acts here pertain to what you want to research on or what you intend to subject more to higher levels of thinking as you go through the several stages of research. The kind or quality of thinking and attention you give to your acts of choosing your research topic and of specifying questions you want your research study to find answers to strongly determine the success of your research work.
In this lesson, we are going to follow some manageable steps
in starting a quantitative study so that you can select a worthy research topic out of all the endless possibilities.
