Definition of Research

Research has been defined by various authors and scholars in the following ways;

          Oxford advanced Learner’s Dictionary defines research as a careful study or investigation in order to discover new facts or information.

          Kayode (2004) defines research as investigation into a particular phenomenon, with the objective of bringing out new facts and throw more light into the phenomenon. He added that it (research) is a scientific enquiry in to specific precarious situation with the intent of possible annihilation of the problem.

          This second definition highlights on the important elements of modem research which are that;

-        Research should seek to acquire knowledge or new fact

-        It is always undertaken with the objective of finding solutions for stated problem(s)

-        The research process of acquiring knowledge or new information should follow scientific procedure for acquiring knowledge through careful investigation of facts or data.

          Webstar’s Nineth New Collegiate Dictionary aptly describes the research process in social science when if defines research as “investigation or experimentation aimed at the discovery and interpretation of facts, revisions of accepted theories or law in the light of new facts, or practical application of such new or revised theories or laws”. 

                   Based on the three definition quoted above, we can conclude this section by defining research as a careful inquiry or examination to discover new information or relation and to expand or verify an existing knowledge. It involves a systematic and objective process of gathering, recording, and analysing data in order to arrive at a valid conclusion on either the causes or consequences of the state of being or behaviour or object, situation or of a given phenomenon.

                   This last definition has featured basic elements of scientific methods of seeking knowledge (research) and by implication reveals that any operation or activity considered as research should apply scientific method of investigation.
