Research Design

The descriptive design was used in our research to

learn about the different observational study designs; it is the
most straightforward. Without taking into account any causal or
other hypotheses, it enables the researcher to examine and
describe the distribution of one or more variables. The goal of
our Research is to show the systematically gather data to
describe a phenomenon, circumstance, or population. More
specifically, it assists in providing answers to the research
problem's what, when, where, and how questions as opposed to its
why.
When conducting descriptive research, qualitative data
is gathered and quantitative methods are used for analysis
(Nassaji, 2015). The scientific methodology known as descriptive
research involves observing the sampled population in its natural
environment. The goal of descriptive research methodology is to
ascertain the “what” of a phenomenon. In this approach, data are
qualitatively gathered and then quantitatively analyzed. The goal
of descriptive research methodology is to ascertain the “what” of
a phenomenon. In this approach, data are qualitatively gathered
and then quantitatively analyzed. Survey, interview, correlation
study, observation study, and content analysis are just a few of
the techniques used to gather data. Furthermore, studies that are
solely limited to facts rather than hypothetical scenarios find
the most use for this type of research methodology. Consequently,
a key characteristic of descriptive research is that it is
limited to looking at facts and the researcher makes no further
effort to understand why the reality occurs in a particular way
(Jong and Voordt, 2002). Additionally, the observer does not
interfere with this observation process or affect any of the
study’s variables (Lambert and Lambert, 2012).
