WHAT IS RESEARCH?

RESEARCH
> an honest, scientific investigation undertaken for the
purpose of discovering new facts or establishing new
relationships among facts already known which will
contribute to the present body of knowledge and can
lead to an effective solution of existing problems.
(Kerlinger, 1976)

> Practical research/Applied research means actual

doing or using of something rather than theories and
ideas. It involves inquiry methods and immersion
activities in order to achieve the correct information.

Example: You want to know the most popular hangout and leisure places in CDO, and why
they are so popular. To identify the most popular places, you might count the number of
people visiting and hanging out in different locations at regular time intervals over a period of
days or weeks. This quantitative data would answer the question of how many people visits at
different leisure places in CDO. To understand why certain locations are more popular than
others, you might use a survey to ask people why they prefer these locations. This is
qualitative data.
