<prompt> Hlalosa mehato e mene e ikhethileng ea lipatlisiso tsa mahlalenan  <response>: Instruction in English: Identify four distinct steps of scientific research . Response in English: 1. Formulating a Research Question: The first step in scientific research is to identify a research problem or question that requires investigation. This question forms the foundation of the research and provides direction for the subsequent steps. 2. Conducting a Literature Review: Once a research question has been identified, the researcher conducts a thorough review of existing literature to determine what is already known about the topic and to identify any gaps in knowledge that the research could address. This review guides the development of the research hypotheses and the research design. 3. Collecting and Analyzing Data: After the research question has been refined and the hypotheses have been developed, the researcher collects data using appropriate methods, such as surveys, experiments, or observations. The data is then analyzed using statistical or other analytical techniques to test the hypotheses and answer the research question. 4. Drawing Conclusions and Reporting Findings: Finally, the researcher interprets the results of the analysis, draws conclusions based on the evidence, and communicates the findings to the scientific community through presentations, publications, or other means. These results may contribute to the existing body of knowledge or lead to further questions and research. . Response in Sesotho: 1.
