• Analytical - it requires critical thinking and analysis
• Empirical - based on observation and experimentation, not on faith or opinion
• Critical - requires careful/precise judgement
• Cyclical - research starts with a problem and ends with a problem
• Methodical - employs methods (research design)
• Replicability - the research designs and methods can be used again
• Objective - no bias, only one answer
• Practical Research - systematic investigation or phenomena
• Inquire - asking questions
• Research Design - plan that guides the collection of data
• Qualitative research - research that uses descriptive methods to describe and explain the world
• Ethnography - ethnics, research design about culture, tradition and language development
• Grounded theory- generalization of a theory, gathered information will form a new theory.
