WHAT IS RESEARCH?
Research is a set of processes that fulfill one or more of these categories: description, explanation, and exploration. We research with the intent of discovering and interpreting information to aid in the development of methods and systems for the advancement of human knowledge. Research helps us to find answers and fill gaps within our knowledge in any particular subject. For students, the practice of research is already a daily part of the learning process which helps to develop critical thinking skills.
