Research
Step one
Determine what you wish to investigate,
Gather the information through investigation,
Pull data from this investigation,
Data is specific and leads to the answer sought in research.
Research
* A systematic process of gathering /collecting and analyzing data and information. * A systematic and organized way to find answers (10 questions). * A process by which we find answers to questions. * Investigation to gain information. * General information.
Characteristics of research * Always originate with a question, problem or hypothesis * Always requires a clear articulation of a goal. * Always follows a specific plan or procedure. * Usually divides the principal problem into more manageable sub problems. * Always guided by the specific research problem, question or hypothesis. * Accepts certain critical assumptions which are theories of ideas about how the world works. * Always require the collection and interpretation of data in attempting to resolve the problem that inflated the research. Data
Data can refer to facts, figures, numbers, text, sounds, images that are obtained from experiments, observations.
Data is used as the basis for making calculations or drawing conclusions.
Data can be considered the primary source of information. Information Information one is knowledge which is acquired or supplied about something or someone.
Information two is the collected or gathered facts about a specific subject.
Information three is the result or processing, gathering, manipulating and/or organizing data in a way that adds to the knowledge of the receiver.
Information four can include written or spoken communication, photographs, art and music. Information can also be described as data that has been meaningfully organized. Data is mere facts that are independent in nature and unlimited in number.
Information is the result of arranging data into meaningful
