THE  RESEARCH  QUEST

Research Process

The research process helps you in your INQUIRY! There are different research models that you can use. Have a look at some of them here, and follow the steps that you feel most comfortable with.  You might like to even adapt them and make your own model as you reflect on your inquiry. As you explore each model, create a list of those elements that you like the best in each.
What's your personal model? In other words, when you do personal research do you really follow one of these approaches or do you follow your own path?
