QUESTION 1

Discuss empirical research and its components and provide examples where necessary. (15

marks)

Empirical Research and its Components

Empirical research refers to the process of collecting and analyzing data through direct

observation or experimentation to gain knowledge about a particular phenomenon. It is driven by

verifiable evidence rather than theory alone, which helps in testing hypotheses or answering

research questions. The key feature of empirical research is that it relies on actual, tangible data

that can be analyzed using scientific methods.

Key Components of Empirical Research

1. Research Problem/Question: The first step in empirical research is identifying a

problem or formulating a research question. The problem or question must be specific,

measurable, and testable.

Example: A research question could be, "Does the use of educational technology improve student

learning outcomes in primary schools?"

2. Literature Review: Before collecting data, a literature review is conducted to understand

what is already known about the topic and to identify gaps. This helps in framing the

research in the context of existing knowledge and ensures that the research adds

something new.
