INTRODUCTION
Research employs a sound research design to
deal with important problems. Whatever may be
the types of research works and studies, one thing
that is that they all meet on the common ground of
scientific method employed by them. One expects
scientific research to satisfy the criteria.
CRITERIA FOR GOOD
RESEARCH
1. The purpose of the research should be
clearly defined and common concepts
be used.
2. The research procedure used should
be described in sufficient detail to
permit another researcher to repeat
the research for further advancement,
keeping the continuity of what has
already been attained.
3. The procedural design of the
research should be carefully
planned to yield results that are
as objectives as possible.
4. The researcher should report with
complete frankness, flaws in procedural
design and estimate their effects upon
the findings.
5. The analysis of data should be
sufficiently adequate to reveal its
significance and the methods of
analysis used should be
appropriate. The validity and
reliability of the data should be
checked carefully.
6. Conclusions should be confined to
those justified by the data of the research
and limited to those for which the data
provide an adequate basis.
7. Greater confidence in research is
warranted if the researcher is
experienced, has a good reputation in
research and is a person of integrity.
QUALITIES OF A
GOOD
RESEARCH
Good Research is Systematic
 It means that research is structured
with specified steps to be taken in a
specified sequence in accordance with the
well defined set of rules.

 Systematic characteristic of the research


does not rule out creative thinking but it
certainly does reject the use of guessing and
intuition arriving at conclusions
Good Research is Logical
• This implies that research is guided by
the rules of logical reasoning and the
logical process of induction and
deduction are of great value in carrying
out research.
• Induction is the process of reasoning
from a part to the whole whereas
deduction is the process of reasoning
from the premise.

• In fact, logical reasoning makes


research more meaningful in the
context of decision making.
  Good Research is Empirical

• It implies that research is related


basically to one or more aspects of a
real situation and deals with concrete
data that provides a basis for external
validity to research results.
Good Research is Replicable
• This characteristic allows
research to be verified by
replicating the study and thereby
building a sound basis for
decisions.
