In Dana Driscoll’s article, “Introduction to Primary Research: Observations, Surveys, and Interviews”, she explains that research is not just reading what is already out there but conducting it yourself. She goes in-depth to each step of conducting primary research. The steps include creating a research timeline in which you plan out your research. Develop research questions and hypotheses in which after you do secondary research on your topic come up with a question and a hypothesis that you can test. Choose a data collection method such as interviews, observations, or surveys. Then write about your research. Start with an introduction which is a review of literature that gives readers the information about your research. Then describe what you did and describe your study results. Then interpret what you learned and discuss what you think the results mean. |
