Activity 3
1. How important is the research design in the study?
Research design is necessary because it allows the seamless operation of the
many research processes, making research as efficient as feasible in terms of
generating most knowledge with the least amount of effort, time, and money. The
design of the research has a considerable impact on the trustworthiness of the results
produced.
The term "research design" refers to the advance planning of the procedures
to be utilized for collecting relevant data as well as the techniques to be implemented
in their analysis.

The following are the reasons for the importance for research design:

• It eliminates inaccuracy;
• Promotes optimum efficiency and reliability;
• Avoids bias and marginal errors;

• Reduces time waste.
• It is helpful in gathering research materials;
• It is useful for hypothesis testing.
• Provides an idea of the resources needed in terms of money, manpower, time,
and effort.
• Provides a high-level overview to other experts;
• Directs research in the right direction.
