QUESTION 1

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

Empirical research is a form of research based on observed and
measured phenomena. It derives knowledge from actual experience
rather than from theory or belief. Empirical research can be
qualitative, quantitative, or a combination of both, and it typically
follows a systematic and structured approach to ensure reliable and
valid outcomes.

Key Components of Empirical Research:

1. Research Problem/Question
The first step in empirical research is to define a clear and
focused research question or problem. This question is usually
driven by a gap in the existing knowledge or by a need for
practical information. It helps to guide the entire research
process.

Example: In a study on the effects of a new teaching method on
student performance, the research question might be, “Does method
X improve students' test scores in mathematics?”

2. Hypothesis
A hypothesis is a testable prediction based on prior knowledge
