TAHAPAN PENELITIAN (TAHAPAN-TAHAPAN PENELITIAN: RENCANA PENELITIAN, PELAKSANAAN PENELITIAN, DAN PENULISAN LAPORAN PENELITIAN)

Abstrak

Penelitian ini membahas secara komprehensif tiga tahapan utama dalam proses penelitian, yaitu rencana penelitian, pelaksanaan penelitian, dan penulisan laporan penelitian. Tahap rencana penelitian mencakup penentuan topik, penetapan dan perumusan masalah, tujuan penelitian, landasan teori, kerangka berpikir, hipotesis, teknik pengumpulan data, serta teknik analisis data. Tahap pelaksanaan penelitian merealisasikan rancangan tersebut melalui proses pengumpulan data, analisis serta penyajian data, interpretasi temuan, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Tahap akhir berupa penulisan laporan penelitian yang disusun secara sistematis, meliputi bagian awal, bagian isi, dan bagian akhir sesuai standar karya ilmiah. Studi ini menegaskan bahwa pemahaman terhadap tahapan penelitian yang sistematis sangat penting untuk menghasilkan penelitian yang valid, reliabel, serta dapat dipertanggungjawabkan secara ilmiah.

This study provides a comprehensive explanation of the three essential stages of the research process: research planning, research implementation, and research report writing. The planning stage includes determining the research topic, identifying and formulating the problem, defining research objectives, establishing a theoretical framework, developing a conceptual framework, formulating hypotheses, selecting data collection techniques, and determining data analysis methods. The implementation stage involves executing the research design through data collection, data analysis and presentation, interpretation of findings, and drawing conclusions. The final stage is the writing of the research report, which is arranged systematically, covering the preliminary section, the main content, and the concluding section in accordance with scientific writing standards. This study emphasizes that a proper understanding of research stages is crucial to producing valid, reliable, and academically accountable research.
