of Research Design
Research design carries an important
influence on the reliability of the
results attained. It therefore provides
a solid base for the whole research. It
is needed due to the fact that it
allows for the smooth working of the
many research operations. This
makes the research as effective as
possible by providing maximum
information with minimum spending of effort, money and time. For building of a car,
we must have a suitable blueprint made by an expert designer. In a similar fashion,
we require a suitable design or plan just before data collection and analysis of the
research project. Planning of design must be carried out cautiously as even a small
mistake might mess up the purpose of the entire project. The design helps the
investigator to organize his ideas, which helps to recognize and fix his faults, if any. In
a good research design, all the components go together with each other in a
coherent way. The theoretical and conceptual framework must with the research
goals and purposes. In the same way, the data gathering method must fit with the
research purposes, conceptual and theoretical framework and method of data
analysis.
