1. Research is called a systematic process because it is carried out through regular, logical, sequential stages, and every research action must be carried out by following established scientific methods. The method starts from the selection of research objects, data collection, selection of theoretical foundations, research, hypothesis testing, and so on. Each step is carefully designed to ensure the validity and reliability of the research results, so that errors can be minimized and the results are reliable.
2. Identifying the problem is the first step in research. Problem identification helps researchers determine the main focus of the research and formulate specific research questions. Without a clear problem, the research will have no clear direction, resulting in unclear and unmeasurable research objectives. The problem helps identify each step that must be taken to conduct the research - the sampling strategy, the research design, the research analysis, and the research instruments to be used.
3. In the background of the problem, the researcher needs to explain the context or situation behind the need for research. The researcher must convey important reasons that make the problem worth researching, including supporting data, facts, or relevant previous findings. In addition, researchers must point out knowledge gaps or unresolved problems, so that the research conducted is important.
4. Yes, writing final assignments such as proposals and theses must pay attention to the systematics set by the campus. This is important because each institution usually has formal guidelines that regulate the structure and content of the thesis to ensure student research complies with academic standards and can be accounted for. This standardized system also helps to ensure that the research is presented in a logical way and is easily understood by readers or examiners.
