Research Techniques
1) The documentary research.
2) The field research.

The observation.
There are two kinds of observation: Scientific observation and no scientific
observation.
SCIENTIFIC OBSERVATION APPLICATION

To apply this technique should consider the following steps:
to. Determine the object, situation, event, etc., to be observed.
b. Determine the objectives of observation.
c. Determine how that is going to record the data.
d. Observe carefully and critically.
And. Record the observed data.
F. Analyze and interpret the data.
g. Draw conclusiones.
h. Prepare a report on the observation.

TYPES OF SCIENTIFIC OBSERVATION

a) Direct and Indirect Observation
b) Participant Observation and no
Participant
c) Observation structured and
unstructured
d) Observation of field and laboratory
e) Individual Observation and
equipment

Determination of the universe and

sample
With regard to the representation
that samples may have about their
universe, they are classified into:
non-probability and probability.

Development of research instruments.

Qualitative and quantitative techniques
While qualitative research techniques to
create invite techniques and procedures
which are adapted more flexibly to the
object under investigation form. Among the
most common are: observation, interview,
content analysis and group dynamics.

Statistics. Processing and analysis of the information.

Conclusion

To be useful statistical data should

have two basic characteristics:
1- They must be relevant; they
should keep a relationship with the
subject matter.
2) They must not have deformations
from bias or error of measuring
instruments used.

The literature search

Functions:
1. Supports research to be performed.
2. Avoid develop research already carried out.
3. Allows learning of experiments already
prepared to repeat when necessary.
4. Help to continue interrupted or incomplete
investigations.
5. Facilitates suggestive information search and
selection of a theoretical framework.

Data Collection
The shape of the instrument refers to
the type of approach established
with the empirical techniques used
for this task

Data processing, presentation and

interpretation of results
. This allows:
- Describe the degree of confidence the instrument.
- Determine what information can be used and which
are not.
- Fix what needs to be corrected or modify whatever
is necessary.
- Exclude what does not serve.
- Perform in certain situations, a new data collection.


Analysis, conclusions and recommendations
The quantitative data analysis depends on three key factors:
a) The level of measurement of variables, depending on the type thereof.
b) The way has been hypothesised, which also depends on the type of
managed hypothesis.
c) The interest of the researcher.
Qualitative data analysis
It is important to note that the analysis of qualitative data is not based on
fixed guidelines and quantitative. That said, consider the following:
a) It is important to focus the topic of study, especially after the first field
observations.
b) The approach of analytical questions that guide the search for
information.
c) extend or modify the initial data collection plan, which will depend on the
information collected in the field work.
