Agree with a friend to each read a different quality newspaper. Make a note of at least 10 articles in your newspaper that mention the word ‘research’. Now examine the articles one at a time. As you examine each article, does the reference to research:
• refer to the collection of facts or information with no clear purpose?
• refer to the reassembling and reordering of facts or information without interpretation?

• provide a means of getting the reader to respect what is being written?
• refer to the systematic collection and interpretation of data with a clear purpose? Discuss your answers with your friend.
