Research
is considered to be the more formal, systematic, intensive
process of carrying on the scientific method of analysis.
It involves a more systematic structure of the investigation, usually resulting in some sort of formal record of procedures
and a report of results or conclusions.
(Leedy, 1985)
Research
is the manner in which we attempt to solve problems in a
systematic effort to push back the frontiers of human
ignorance or to confirm the validity of the
solutions to problems others have presumably solved.
(Mahlangu, 1987)
