RESEARCH DESIGNS – An Overview
Research design is a BLUE PRINT or FRAMEWORK for
the conduct of the proposed research.
esearch design can be compared to planning everything in advance based on the room architecture.
Improper research design can be as ineffective as
planning a room lay out.
Research design sets the boundaries for a research activity. It also helps to anticipate the potential problems
that could arise in the future. Research design is based
on the research question. Feasibility of the design in
the setting is very important. Every good research will
have a proper design, like every good building has.
