Abstract
Definition of a research study provides better clarity, focus, deeper understanding of the concepts. Definition of the terms should be based on factors such as context, history, relevance, frame of reference, and the culture of the people for whom investigation is done. Too broad or too narrow definitions are to be avoided which will hinder the designing of the study. Conceptualisation presupposes definition of terms operationally; that is, how the terms are used and interpreted in the study. This will promote replicability, generalisability and dissemination of findings. A term may be defined normatively and descriptively. The search for meanings of the terms will have to be done both empirically and through a thorough review of related literature. This provides a comprehensive idea or cognitive map of the work to the researcher. The definitions gathered are to be validated by experts to promote objectivity of the study.
