20. "A human being is a part of a whole, called by us _universe_, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."

Steps for planning and carrying out a research study

A research study can be thought of as consisting of five related parts:

• deciding on the objectives of the study,
• choosing an appropriate study design with adequate sample sizes,
• collecting the data accurately and consistently,
• analysing the data with appropriate methods and
• producing a final report that includes all the important details about the study.

Structure of a thesis proposal

• Approach/methods
• Preliminary results and discussion
• Work plan including time table

Types of Research studies

Six types of research studies

The qualitative versus quantitative approach to the classification of research activities classifies all research studies into one of six categories

Qualitative approach The qualitative approach involves the collection of extensive narrative data in order to gain insights into phenomena of interest, data analysis includes the coding of the data and production of a verbal synthesis (inductive process)

1. Historical research
2. Qualitative research

Quantitative approach The quantitative approaches involve the collection of numerical data in order to explain, predict, and/or control phenomena of interest, data analysis is mainly statistical (deductive process)

3. Descriptive research
4. Correlational research
5. Causal-comparative research
6. Experimental Research
