contexts Design products.

Strand 2:Identify and prioritize the research

Identify and prioritize the primary and secondary research needed to develop a solution to the problem

Formulate a list of questions in order of importance that will help prioritize and guide ypurresearch. You will need to identify:

The questions that need to be answered to solve the problem The relevant data that needs to be collected Where the data will be sourced from Whether sources are primary or secondary Which sources are essential and which are desirable?

By the end of the quarter you will be able to:

State the main points of inquiry.

Research plan:

Outlines primary and secondary research tasks that you could carry out to gather the answers to your research questions.

Primary research(Direct: First-hand research)

Secondary research(Indirect: Desk research)

All primary research is carried out by you, who collects his or her own data. Secondary research involves using data collected by other people.

Research plan:

What will I research? How will I gather the information?

PRIMARY SOURCE

How will I gather the information?

SECONDARY SOURCE

Why will I research this information? When will I do this?
