INTRODUCTION
In present time, it is very essential to have number of skills such as ICT skills, Numeracy
skills etc. which help in making better decision for the future growth and development (Gatobu,
Arocha and Hoffman-Goetz, 2016). Similarly information and communication technology is
primarily used in almost every elements of modern living thus every individual must be familiar
with application and hardware.
In this report, the nature of research and the principle for making good research is
discussed in project 1.
PROJECT 1
Nature of research and the principles for conducting good research.
In modern era, the examination of specific concerns or a issues by making use of
scientific methodology is known as research. There are different methods that are used in
deductive and inductive which are mainly used for the purpose of analysing the information of a
particular event (Marks, 2015). Deductive techniques are being used to validate the reported
incident. Qualitative analysis is correlated with inductive techniques and quantitative research is
aligned with deductive methodology to make better results. In simple words, research is defined
as a elaborated method of gathering and evaluating data in order to figure out the respectful
answer to the question. This also support in validating a test or a current theories in the context
of certain problem. The nature of research is systematic, scientific, objective, general,
definiteness, predictable, modifiable dynamic and verifiable. Research is a theoretical and
systematic examination for relevant details about a particular topic. It is also observed that
analysis of collected data will usually follow a specified structural cycle. The analysis
methodology is usually unbiased and is almost free of assumptions, biases and objectivity.
Research is defined by both its system and its business model being substantial. Here, the
methods and initiatives for
(i) collecting and arranging details or results
(ii)checking and confirming the evidence gathered to make the assumption are well prepared
and specified.
Research emphasizes that the accumulated content, records or statistics are properly
verified. Nothing is being adopted and obtained unless verified by decent observation, testing,
