Whether you’re a student starting your academic journey, a professional exploring workplace issues, or a curious mind seeking clarity, this course breaks down research into simple, practical steps.
You’ll learn how to choose the right topic, design your research approach, gather and analyze data, and communicate your findings effectively. Along the way, we’ll explore different research types, philosophical paradigms, ethical considerations, and hands-on tools used by researchers across fields.
No jargon. No overwhelm. Just real-world skills, simplified.
In this lesson, you’ll explore what research really means, why it matters, and the different types used in academic and real-world settings. Learn how research helps us ask better questions, find evidence-based answers, and create impact.
Now that you understand what research is and how to choose a topic, it’s time to map your journey. This module helps you design your research effectively—choosing the right method for the right question.
Before you collect any data, you need a clear focus. That means identifying what you're studying (variables), what you want to find out (research questions), and what you expect to discover (hypotheses). Think of this as setting the coordinates before your research journey begins.
