HELPING YOU DO RESEARCH IN THE EARLY STAGES

This book is intended to help you do research during your early stages in learning to conduct research.To this extent,the author has put a lot of effort to simplify both the language and concepts involved. Chapters 1 to 8 deal with some of the key theoretical,and to some extent,practical aspects of research.Chapter 9 looks at how you can write your research project-the different chapters,headings and sub-headings.An attempt is made to show you what you should write under each heading/sub-heading and how you write it. Chapter 10 deals with simple statistics which you can use in conducting research.Since this volume is meant for novices in research such as students in Teachers' Colleges and those doing their first degrees in university,only descriptive statistics have been dealt with in this book.Those students capable of more advanced statistics are advised to consult more learned books on statistics.
