Research Design

An essential step involved in conducting a research study is finalizing the research design. The term research design
refers to the overall design of the proposed study, including all the steps
that are used by the researcher to address the research problem or answer the
research question. Improperly defined research design can hinder your efforts
to solve the research problem and obtain meaningful results. At Rehoboth
Academic Services, we offer support for all steps related to
research designing your own study, from understanding the best philosophy to
selecting the methods to be used for analysis.

Types of Research Designs that Rehoboth
Academic Services can guide you with

• Exploratory
• Descriptive
• Causal
• Case Study
• Cohort … and more

How
does Rehoboth Academic Services help plan the Research Design?

• We start by helping
  you identify the research problem, aiding you in defining the field that
  you want to study and narrowing it down to a specific area.
• We provide support
  for searching through secondary literature sources to ensure that your
  study is headed in the correct direction.
• We help formulate
  hypotheses.
• We help you
  understand what data will be needed to address the research problem and
  the analytical tools that will be needed to handle the collected
  information appropriately

Selection of Research Philosophy

Research philosophy
involves the thought process behind the collection, analysis and usage of data.
We offer support for the formulation of all axiological, epistemological and
ontological aspects of philosophy and guide
the researcher in selecting the most appropriate research philosophy for
their study. We have experience working with the following types of research
philosophy:

• Positivism
• Interpretivism
• Pragmatism

Research strategy and methods

An important part of
finalizing research design is the selection of research strategy and methods.
The choice is made by the researcher based on the nature of the research
question, the information that is already available and the resources that are
on hand. The principal types of research methods that we provide support for
include qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods research. Rehoboth Academic Services guides you in the selection of an
appropriate strategy, suitable research methods and the correct research
instrument.

We have more information

research method services that we offer. If you have queries or
