Parts of Reserach
1. Rigid control,
2. Objectivity,
3. Systematic organization, and
4. Rigorous standards.
Rigid control refers to the manipulation of the research
variables. Variables are those things that vary in quantity and
quality which are to be manipulated by the researcher.
Examples of variables are age, sex, population, adequacy,
efficiency, etc. These are variables which should be
controlled rigidly, that is, kept constant or equal in a certain
research work
Objectivity means that there should be no bias or partiality in
treating the results of the inquiry. The results should not be
tampered with, whatever they may be.
Systematic organization refers to proper and accurate
tabulation of data as well as presenting them in statistical
tables ready for interpretation.
The fourth principle refers to the setting up of standards or
principles which serve as bases for evaluating the finding of
the study. Such standard should not be changed to suit the
expectations of the researcher. The principle also refers to the
accurate statistical computation and interpretation of
quantified data.
