The conventional research model focuses on quantitative research and

includes the following steps: (1) Select and clearly define the research

problem (topic), (2) Review previous researchit is important to review the

literature to see what others have written about the topic, (3) Formulate the

hypothesisa statement of the relationship between two or more concepts

(independent variable and dependent variable) and create an operational

definitionan explanation of an abstract concept in terms of observable

features that are specific enough to measure the variable, (4) Develop the

research designconsidering the units of analysis (what or whom is being

studied) and the time frame of the study (cross-sectional studies or

longitudinal studies), (5) Collect (random sampling and probability sampling)

and analyze the data (validity and reliability), and (6) Draw conclusions (noting

limitations of the study) and report the findings.
