definitions of research in the previous lessons.

1. Research should be systematic.
 The researcher needs to carry out a series of
interrelated steps in conducting the study.
Such procedure must follow a well-planned,
sequential and organized structure from
beginning to end.
 The research paper is divided into
macrosystem and microsystem. The
former refers to different chapters labeled
with main headings, while the latter consists
of various elements detailing the contents of

explanation throughout the research process.
The factors to be manipulated, measured or

variables, must be clarified using literature
from published and unpublished materials.
They should be explained well from the
introductory part of the research paper to
ensure a deeper understanding of the study
