Review Questions & Solution
Q1. What is research? Discuss qualities of good research.
Ans: Research
It is a process through which new knowledge is discovered. The word research
is coined by two syllables, re and search. The dictionary defines the former as a
prefix meaning again, a new or over again and the latter as a verb, meaning to
examine closely and carefully, to test and try, or to probe. The simplest
meaning of research is to search for facts, answers to research question and
solution for the existing problem.
Research refers to the systematic method consisting of enunciating the problem,
formulating a hypothesis, collecting the fact or data, analyzing the facts and
reaching to certain conclusions either in the form of solutions towards the
concerned problem or in certain generals for some theoretical formulation.
Qualities of good research

upon hard-core evidence gathered from information collected from real life
experiences and observations. This provides a basis for external ability to
research findings and conclusion.
3. Good research is valid and verifiable, research involves precise observation
and accurate description. The researcher selects reliable and valid
instruments to be used for the collection of data and uses some relevant
statistical tools for accurate description of the results obtained. Whatever the
researcher conclude on the basis of finding is correct and can be verified by
himself and others.
4. Good Research is logical, it suggests that research is guided by the rules of
reasoning and logical process of induction general to specific and deduction
specific to general that plays an important role in carrying out research. In
fact, logical reasoning makes research feasible and more meaningful in the
context of quantitative decision making.
5. Good research develops theories and principles, which are very helpful in
accurate prediction regarding the variables under study. On the basis of the
sample observed and studied, the researcher makes sound generalisations
regarding the entire populations. Thus, research goes beyond immediate
