Design:

“a strategic framework for action”

Research Question RESEARCH DESIGN Research Implementation

Why is Research Design important?

It provides a plan for:

1. Purposes of the research
2. Resources

It tells us:

1. Where to aim the research
2. Kind of sampling
3. Who to sample
4. Comparisons?
5. Techniques?
6. Variables?
7. Application to external world



The Research Process: Sequence of activities

STAGE 1: Research question

PLANNING

STAGE 2: Research design



STAGE 3: Data Collection



STAGE 4: Data analysis EXECUTION



STAGE 5: Publication

, Research Design as Strategic Framework:

 Strategic framework – plan that GUIDES activities to ensure that valid conclusions
are met
 Flexible, pragmatic designs STILL require detailed strategic frameworks
 Researcher is required to constantly reflect on the process and refine design &
questions (‘finding a focus’)

Most research falls somewhere on the continuum between these two extremes

Fixed experiments field work ethnographies case studies Flexible



Dimensions of Research Design

1. Purpose
2. Paradigm
3. Context
4. Research Questions
