Your First Step to Understanding Research Methods: Part I

I identified two types of experiences that separate beginner researchers from the professionals: Knowledge of research and knowledge of research methods. Of interest here is the second, which has been the object of this book. During the past few decades, a body of research has emerged suggesting that beginner researchers in the self-monitoring of willed intention to do researches in various scientific issues may be responsible for the expression of right methods in their studies. Empirical evidence supporting this theory indicates that such type of scientific knowledge determines understanding the basics of research methods. These include: Different schools of science, scientific concepts, statistics, designs, models, sampling, hypothesis, tests, measurement tools, shapes' types, etc. This book in its two parts addresses these issues that are of special importance, notably for those who are looking for the actual processes that take them to the first step to understanding research methods.
