DEFINITIONS OF RESEARCH
The term 'research' has been defined by educational researchers in many ways.
According to John W.Best , "Research is considered to be more formal, systematic, intensive process of carrying on the scientific methods of analysis.It involves a more systematic structure of investigation, usually resulting in some sort of formal record of procedure and a report of results and conclusions.
According to Rusk, "Research is a point of view, an attitude of inquiry or a frame of mind. It asks questions which have hitherto not been asked, and it seeks to answer them by following a fairly definite procedure.
According to P.M.Cook, "Research is an honest, exhaustive, intelligent searching for facts and their meanings or implications with reference to a given problem. The product of findings of a given piece of research should be an authentic, verifiable, and contribution to the knowledge in the field studied.
