Burns and Grove (2003:195) define a research design as âa blueprint for conducting a. study with maximum control over factors that may interfere with the validity of the findingsâ. Parahoo (1997:142) describes a research design as âa plan that describes how, when and. where data are to be collected and analysedâ.
Research designs range from descriptive case studies, often employed in anthropology, to the experimental approach. An experimental design consists of two groups of subjects: an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group undergoes the treatment, program or intervention of interest. Researchers then measure the differences between the two groups on a particular outcome.
