The Craft Of Research

by Susan Wasike Khasenye · Research · ISBN 9798198285231

Developing a focused research problem is the first step towards a coherent project, thesis or dissertation. This practical guide takes students through proposal development, literature review, conceptual and theoretical frameworks, research design, sampling, and data collection and analysis. Worked examples clarify how to align variables, objectives, questions and methods, while guidance on citations and research gaps supports academic writing. Following a five-chapter thesis structure, it moves through presenting and discussing findings to drawing conclusions and recommendations, offering a step-by-step resource for students and research methods lecturers.
