Answer 1

Research is a work that is undertaken to increase knowledge-based on creativity. This process has some other activities that take place. The activities include collecting data, organizing the data, and analyzing the data to be easily understandable. A research project may be based on a new thing or an issue affecting people or a previously researched subject, and the intended results were not achieved. It can also be done precisely to test an object's validity or instrumental workability, experiments or procedures (Okoli, Mehdi, Mesgari, Nielsen & Lanamäki, 2014). I do most of the researches on both academic engines and search engines. For instance, Microsoft academic research helps me in doing extensive and detailed research. Goggle is the best research engines that I use.

I mostly rely on the information from the Microsoft academic search. Besides that, I sometimes use iSeek education, which many people mainly use. To validate the information that I am searching for, I compare the information provided in the google search engine, the Microsoft Academic search and iSeek education engine. If there is a difference in terms of argument, I will still use another search engine. Here are some research strategies that work in my research: qualitative, descriptive, and quantitative (Verschuren, 2003).
