Hello Showkat,

Research is a consideration of study regarding a particular concern or problem using scientific methods in a careful manner. American sociologist, Earl Robert Babbie, described research as:  “A systematic inquiry to describe, explain, predict, and control the observed phenomenon. Research involves inductive and deductive methods."

Some of the objectives of research are as follows:

  1. To gain familiarity with a phenomenon or to achieve new insights into it
  2. To portray accurately the characteristics of a particular individual, situation or a group
  3. To determine the frequency with which something occurs or with which it is associated with something else
  4. To test a hypothesis of a causal relationship between variables

Hope this helps you. We wish you the best for your future endeavours!

Regards
