REFLECTION PAPER

Application of Data Gathering Procedures  A systematic process of gathering observations or measurements is known as data collection. Data collection allows you to gain first-hand knowledge and original insights into your research problem, whether you are conducting research for business, government, or academic purposes. Data gathering is one of the most essential part of research. During this stage, collecting necessary information to answer all the statement of the problems is done. Before you begin collecting data, you should consider the following: the purpose of the research, the type of data that will be collected, and the methods and procedures that will be used to collect, store, and process the data. Proper Literature Review A review of the literature is a survey of scholarly sources that provides an overview of a specific topic. A literature review is a compilation of the most relevant and significant publications on a given topic in order to provide a comprehensive overview

  Empirical research is based on data that has been observed and measured phenomena, and knowledge is derived from actual experience as opposed to theory or belief. The term empirical refers to any of the following: knowledge gained through experience, observation, or experimentation. One of the central tenets of the scientific method is that evidence must be empirical, that is, based on evidence that can be observed with the senses. In this phase, the researcher puts all of the plans for data collection that he or she devised in the first phase, step 3. The empirical phase of many studies is the most time-consuming part of the investigation. However, the amount of time spent varies from study to study. Types and methodologies of empirical research Quantitative research methods: Quantitative research methods are used to collect information using numerical data. It is used to quantify opinions, behaviors, or other variables that have been defined. These are predetermined and are prese

                          We describe dissemination as a designed strategy that incorporates thinking about target audiences and the contexts in which research findings will be received, as well as communicating and interacting with larger policy and health service audiences in ways that will facilitate research uptake in decision-making processes and practice. Working out who your primary audience is; engaging with them early and staying in touch throughout the project, ideally involving them from the planning of the study to the dissemination of findings are all principles of good dissemination. Produce targeted outputs in a format that is appropriate for the user. Understand the service context of your research and enlist the help of influential opinion leaders to act as champions. Dissemination should not be restricted to the end of a study. Consider whether any discoveries can be shared sooner. The dissemination of research findings is an important part of the research process bec
