Outline the six (6) steps of the "conventional" research model
What will be an ideal response?
The "conventional" research model focuses on quantitative research and
includes the following steps: (1) Select and clearly define the research
problem (topic), (2) Review previous research—it is important to review the
literature to see what others have written about the topic, (3) Formulate the
hypothesis—a statement of the relationship between two or more concepts
(independent variable and dependent variable) and create an operational
definition—an explanation of an abstract concept in terms of observable
features that are specific enough to measure the variable, (4) Develop the
research design—considering the units of analysis (what or whom is being
studied) and the time frame of the study (cross-sectional studies or
longitudinal studies), (5) Collect (random sampling and probability sampling)
and analyze the data (validity and reliability), and (6) Draw conclusions (noting
limitations of the study) and report the findings.
