INTRODUCTION 

´Search of knowledgeµ



´It is a scientific and systematic search for pertinent information on specific topicµ



 According to Oxford Dictionary (1952, p1069), ´A careful inquiry specially through search for new facts in any branch of knowledgeµ



 According to Clifford Woody research comprises defining and redefining problems, formulating hypothesis or suggested solution; collecting, organizing and evaluating data; making deductions and reaching conclusion; and at last carefully testing the conclusions to determine whether they fit the formulating hypothesis.

RESEARCH SYNTHESIS



It is the process through which two or more research studies are assessed with the objective of  summarizing the evidence relating to a particular question.

CONCLUSION 

Research, is, thus, an original contribution to the existing stock of  knowledge making for its advancement. advancement. Research is search of  knowledge through objective and systematic method of finding solution to a problem. This systematic approach is concerned with generalisation and formulation of a theory.
