(B) Sampling
(C) Hypothesis
(D) Data collection
(E) Operationalization
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

The correct answer is
(A), (C), (E), (B), (D)

Research Process Sequence Explained

Understanding the order of steps in the research process is crucial for systematic study design. The correct sequence helps ensure that research is logical and builds upon previous stages.

Ordering Research Steps

The research process typically follows a structured path:

  1. Theory (A): Starts with a broad theoretical framework or existing knowledge base in a field.
  2. Hypothesis (C): Formulates a specific, testable prediction derived from the theory.
  3. Operationalization (E): Defines precisely how the concepts or variables in the hypothesis will be measured or manipulated.
  4. Sampling (B): Selects a representative subset (sample) from the larger population to be studied.
  5. Data collection (D): Gathers relevant information from the chosen sample using specific methods.

Therefore, the correct sequence is Theory, Hypothesis, Operationalization, Sampling, and Data collection, corresponding to (A), (C), (E), (B), (D).
