LESSON 1: INTRODUCTION – BASICS OF COMMUNICATION
RESEARCH
WHAT IS COMMUNICATION RESEARCH?
RESEARCH?
A certain look comes over the faces of some of my students when they hear the word research. Their
eyes glaze over, and their faces take on a pained expression as if they had a migraine or a bad stomach
ache. They see the required course on research as some kind of an ordeal they must survive before being
allowed to take the courses they want and go on to live a normal life.
- Research (ENG) comes from the word ‘chercher’ in French, it is translated to seek, to search.
- Research means looking for information about something.
- You research every day; we look for information throughout the whole day.
SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IS DIFFERENT FORM EVERYDAY RESEARCH
- More systematic
- Based more on facts than feelings
- More cautious (=careful)
- More focus on accuracy and veracity
Data, numbers, and statistics are not necessarily needed for scientific research. (cf. historical research)
