As responsible inquirers, seek to reconcile
different findings and employ sound
procedures to collect and analyse data and to
provide clear direction for our own research
Research has limits, need to know how to decipher
research studies because researchers may not
write them as clearly and accurately as you wouldlike.

quantitative research
Although the literature is reviewed to justify the need to studythe research problem , the literature does not provide major
direction for the research questions
Relies more on the views of participants in the study and lesson the direction identified in the literature by the researcher.
