What do you mean by research design

 **Research Design:**

Research design is like a plan for a research project. It's how scientists decide to collect and analyze information to answer their questions. A good plan makes sure the study is organized and can give useful answers.

**Survey Design Method:**

Imagine you want to ask a bunch of people about something. Survey design is the way you plan how to do it:

1. **Say What You Want:** First, be clear about what you want to find out. What questions do you have?

2. **Choose How to Ask:** Decide if you'll use written questions (like a form) or talk to people (interviews).

3. **Pick People to Ask:** Choose a group of people that represents the larger group you're interested in.

4. **Ask Good Questions:** Create questions that are easy to understand and not tricky. Avoid questions that might make people answer in a certain way.

5. **Order Your Questions:** Put your questions in a logical order. Start with simple ones before asking more personal stuff.

6. **Test Your Questions:** Try your questions on a few people first to make sure they make sense. Fix any problems.

7. **Ask Your Questions:** Actually, ask your questions to the group you chose. Decide how you'll collect the answers (online, face-to-face, etc.).

8. **Look at the Answers:** Use tools to understand what the answers mean. This could be numbers or just summaries of what people said.

9. **Figure Out What It Means:** Think about what the answers tell you. What did you learn from the survey?

10. **Tell Others:** Share your findings in a clear way. This might include charts or simple explanations.

Survey design is like making a plan to ask a bunch of people about something, and it helps scientists get information from many people in a smart way.
