Research development based on quantitative approach

For the most part, research in science revolves around the four Ps

people

problems

phenomena

programs

According to the type of study, the great value of one or more "Ps" will be highlighted

In this way, a group of individuals called people is selected to study

their behavior or attitude towards a problem

The research is focused on the study of the problem

the problem includes a phenomenon supported by the collected information

and the possible result proposed to solve said problem

Any research question, no matter how simple it may seem, needs to be thoroughly investigated

Depending on the type of literature review, the type of method to do it will also be altered

However, what should be given more importance is whether or not this bibliographic review is up-to-date, relevant and interesting to support the research question.

There are mainly three major sources

With these sources it is possible to obtain some information to find research problems

experience

is the most used source to acquire ideas that support the researcher to present a research problem based on personal experience from day to day.

deductions from theory

This is published information on many topics in an area of interest.

Here we find great possibilities of discovering examples of research problems that are useful as models to develop other ones

Sample population

Specify the variables and the population of interest.

The problem statement can be in:

Question:

It should find an answer to the research problem question, since it seems more direct to find the answer to such a question.

Statement

The problem to be investigated by the researcher is stated through the purpose of the study.

How a problem is defined will determine each of the following steps:

Type of study design that can be used.

Type of sampling strategy that can be used

Research instrument that can be used or developed

Type of analysis that can be carried out".

To formulate the research problem, five aspects must be taken into account:

Define the research objectives

Analyze its context

Examine its nature

Determine the relationships between variables

Express in advance the probable consequences of alternative approaches.

Some questions can be asked to check if the stated problem is correct:

Does the research question allow for potential answers?

Is it testable, flexible and open-ended?

Is there sufficient evidence to pose it?

Is it possible to organize it into solvable parts?

Is it precise and clear?

Are there vague terms that need to be clarified?

Is it possible to explain why the solutions are valuable?

Are the premises explicit?
