One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

The Nature and Meaning of Research

The nature and meaning of research centres on understanding research as a systematic, objective, and purposeful inquiry used to generate knowledge and solve problems. For examination purposes, you must clearly grasp what research means, its essential characteristics, why it is important in education, and how it differs from ordinary observation, guesswork, or mere information gathering.
