    - - A problem is a question of interest that can be tested or answered through the collection and analysis of data. Upon identifying a research question, researchers typically review previously published research on the same topic and use that information to hypothesize about the results. In other words, they make an educated guess about the answer to the question.
    - - The conclusions, which should advance our general knowledge of the topic in question, are based on the results of data analysis.
- - - - Survey research, correlatinal research, causal-comparative research, experimental research.
    - - Narrative research, ethnographic research, case study research.
- - - - Researchers obtain informed consent by making sure that research participants enter the research of their free will and with understanding of the nature of the study and any possible dangers that may arise as a result of participation.
    - - Studies involving deception of participants are sometimes unavoidable but should be examined critically for unethical practices.
    - - Qualitative researchers, because of their closeness to participants, must pay special attention to ethical issues and view informed consent as a process that evolves and changes throughout the study.
    - - It is rarely possible to conduct research without the cooperation of other people. The first step in acquiring needed cooperation is to follow required procedures in the chosen site.
