     PREPARE

  • Why am I doing this? How do I make this research meaningful for myself and others? What is my overall purpose with the research results?
  • What will the research effort require from me?
  • How does my ethics and values reflect in my research?
  • What has already been written about my topic?
  • What gap do I want to fill with my research?
  • How do I translate this gap into a research problem or research question?
  • What kind of study will I do? Do I want to explore, explain, describe, or some combination of these?
  • What kind of evidence do I need?
  • What process will I follow to get hold of this evidence?

 

     PLAN

  • The writing of a research proposal is not the easiest thing to do. How do I document my work so far? How do I tell others what I want to do, why I want to do it and what approach I will follow?

 

     PROCESS

  • What do I need to measure or observe?
  • What questions must I ask?
  • Who should I ask? Individuals, focus groups, anonymous samples?
  • What format is best - survey, interviews, perhaps both?
  • How do I analyse my data?
  • How do I remain motivated? In what way is my research still meaningful? In what way am I still working towards my original purpose?
  • How do I deal with research challenges?

 

     PRODUCT

  • The writing of a research report (or thesis, dissertation or academic paper) is hard work. How do I tell others what I did, what I found and what it means?
