Applied research consists of a set of different phases (the research cycle): 1) problem analysis, 2) research design, 3) data collection, 4) data analysis, 5) report (Verhoeven, 2011). You have already worked through this cycle in Research 1. Back then, emphasis was on the first phase, i.e. ‘problem analysis’. This course gives students the opportunity to concentrate on the ‘data analysis’ and ‘report’ phases of the research cycle. When viewed from the point of a research report, it concentrates on the method, results and the conclusion & discussion section.
