The first three steps of the
scientific method are the crucial part of a study. Some people spend a lot of time moving forward and backward in these three steps: Identifying problems, literature review, and determining the aims of the research. As it is explained in the previous part, the result will determine the approach of the study that will be used.
You may have heard about experiment research or case study. There are also common approach like action research and survey. In general, Denscombe (2010) divide the
research approach into 8:
2. Case studies
3. Experiments
4. Ethnography
5. Phenomenology
6. Grounded theory
7. Actions research
