Arrange the following steps of research in order of their occurrence:
1.Deriving findings
2.Interpretation of the results
3.Formulation of the hypothesis
4.Defining the research problem
5.Measuring the dependent variable
A4, 3, 5, 2, 1 ✓ Correct
B4, 3, 2, 5, 1
C3, 4, 2, 5, 1
D5, 4, 3, 2, 1
Correct answer: (A) 4, 3, 5, 2, 1
Explanation
The research steps run defining the research problem, formulating the hypothesis, measuring the dependent variable, interpreting the results and then deriving findings, giving 4, 3, 5, 2, 1.
Defining the research problem comes first as it fixes what will be studied.
Formulating the hypothesis follows to state the expected relationship.
Measuring the dependent variable generates the data to be examined.
Interpretation of the results makes sense of the analysed data.
Deriving findings states the conclusions that answer the problem.
