The Problem: The Heart of the Research Process
Leedy + Ormrod
The problem or question is the axis around which the whole research effort revolves. The statement of the problem must first be expressed with the utmost precision; it should then be divided into more manageable subproblems. Such an approach clarifies the goals and directions of the entire research effort.
Basic Research
Such projects, which can advance human being's theoretical conceptualizations about a particular topic, are known as basic research.
Applied Research
