Problem Statement
Analysis and interpretation.
Professor John W. Best in his book gives us a possible guide to the analysis, suggesting the following points:
Summary and conclusions.
Are the procedures described in detail?
Is the problem reframed?
Data analysis.
Is the exposition of the text concise and clear?
Is it appropriate to use tables and figures?
Procedures used.
Is this design suitable?
Is the experimental design described in detail?
Review of related literature
Are important findings highlighted?
Is it of adequate width?
The problem
Is it well defined?
Is it clearly established?
Title
Doesn't it promise more than the studio can deliver?
Is it clear and concise?
The methodology phase can be said to contain two aspects:
Analysis and technical evaluation according to the nature of the investigation.
Analysis and statistical evaluation of the results.
Tabulations or processing.
It can be manual, mechanical or computerized and your choice will depend on:
Of time and resources, whether financial or available equipment.
Of the number of questions that the form has.
The number of forms to be used.
Criticism and coding.
The object of the criticism is to classify the primary material that precedes the same investigation, into three groups:
Uncorrectable or disposable material.
Incorrect but correctable material.

It is a set of operations to review and correct the information collected.
That allows us to group and process it, in such a way that it facilitates the elaboration of.

What characteristics should the research have?
Under what forms will we collect the data?
Utility.
Simple.
Clarity and publication.
Source of information.
So far we have analyzed what you want to investigate and the reason for that investigation.
Hint
They are the concrete results of the use of primary sources
direct
These types of sources contain original information, that is, they are first-hand
Object of the investigation.
In the project, when analyzing what it is or what we are going to investigate, we propose:
Limit the researchable object.
Determine the feasibility of your research.
Determine its quantitative and qualitative nature.
Define the object or purpose of the investigation

Fundamental characteristics of a survey
It makes it possible for social research to get to the subjective aspects of members of society.
It allows a massive application that through a sampling system can be extended to an entire nation.
It is a method prepared for research.
The survey is a non-direct observation of the facts through what interested parties express.
Observation.
